Today I got the kings theatre show booklet through and was not happy to see that Chicago is coming there in November!

I am gutted! the times Darius does it is has always been down in London which I would have loved to have gone to but it was going to be too expensive to go.

I wish Darius was play Bill in November, That would mean I would get a really good Birthday present lol

 

Anyway has there been any news about Broadway?

Even if he did decide to do it at the next cast change, it is not his place to say so, before the official cast list is announced.

 

The same goes for acting auditions. Anything really that concerns contracts. It quite simply isn't the done thing to talk about them.

We don't know how long the current Billy signed for. If he got the same choice as Darius, it could have been 6 wks to 2 years. I think it's coming up to 6 months now.

I see they changed Velma (now Amra Faye Wright), Mary Sunshine (R.Lowe), both of whom I've seen when Darius was in the West End, and Mama Morton (now Carole somebody who's played the role since 1999 in America) on 4th June.

 

That's quite a big main cast change, so I guess they won't change Roxie or Billy for at least a month or two.

 

 

Editing - My apologies. It's Carol Woods and she's played the role of Mama Morton in various productions of Chicago since 1997.

It'd be nice to have an idea but then it'd mean someone letting us know - and we normally do before anyone tells us

Billy's Tony Yazbeck. I'm pretty sure he started off the New Year and then John Hurley. Tony Yazbeck must have come back in when Darius was busy on Beauty and the Beast in Vancouver.
So it's next change over or nothing - unless the agreement with the producers is altered
grrr, Darius - if you get chances please take ALL of them - I will be spitting feathers if he doesnt do broadway after it was a sure fire thing!!!!!!!! surely he will take the option this time, Tony ...seems to be a fill in anyway tbh - have seen his name before at times - they need some glamour in that role :)
They need a really good Billy Flynn to replace a very good Billy Flynn. Darius has so much stage presence that I can't wait for Broadway to discover it. It'd probably give him a green card as well.

from what ive seen on the chicago broadway website Billy rae Cyrus isnt playin billy flynn till november so D cud b b4 then
D never usually talks about a project unless the contract is signed and he talked about broadway last year in interviews so i thought it was a done deal :???:
Never assume anything when it comes to Darius
It was part of the contract he signed to do the West End 'Chicago'. We just don't know what else he has in the pot - although we do know the album is going ahead - but we have known that before
