i]Chicago celebrates its move back to its original home at the Cambridge Theatre - with Linzi Hateley and Darius Danesh in the cast. On Wednesday 3 May you can join in the fun and mingle at the after show reception with a complimentary drink and then take your free programme back with you to the 4* Radisson Mountbatten. Price: just £144 all in, or the 3* Strand Palace Hotel for just £103.[/i]

 

This surely can't be true? Linzi has been replaced by Bonnie Langford and Darius hasn't trod the boards since February 11.

 

Won't people reading that be expecting that those two would be in the cast they are paying to meet?

I bet there is a lot of small print that goes with that offer :rolleyes:

Sounds like it might be a one off opening night show only. Wonder if its true.

:o Don't get me excited Preston :D I am sure it's not, as Bonnie was on Paul O'Grady's show the other day, saying she is moving with Chicago from the Adelphi to the Cambrige theatre. But if anyone hears different about D popping back :o please let us know :) I like the sound of the mingling backstage

how can sites get this so wrong!

 

how odd, I would be so tempted if I thought for one minute that it was Darius! but the fear of catching Bonny Langford as Roxy is too great,

Ditto. I wouldn't care who was playing any of the other roles.

 

Does anyone have the number for the Cambridge box-office? Does it, like the Adelphi, take one to Ticketmaster?

 

BTW Neil Sean (Mr Accurate?) said that Mel B, following her success in Rent on Broadway, is in talks to play Roxie. I doubt if Bonnie will be replaced quickly so if it's true, Mel B may perhaps be the lead for the UK tour this year.

 

 

 

I wish I'd seen him do Billy Flynn.

 

 

Hmmm I suspect a mis-print...

Maybe they means he is back for the first night party on the changeover.

could be, if they have got it wrong they are not worthy of being a theatre site ! it is very sloppy to get the actors wrong

Oh I wish I wish I wish ...... but it is sloppy to get it all wrong. Dont forget we know lots about what he is doing, there are people who could easily get misled

 

If only if only if only ....

 

 

I wouldnt mind seeing Bonnie in that role, she is an amazing dancer and toured with Wayne sleep. Mel B in the role would be interesting,. I remember Darius and her were pictured doing a bit of presenting at Party in the park together. but cant see her being anywhere near up to the dancing that Bonnie can do though. Maybe he is going to be there for the changeover party and maybe MelB is up for Mamma

Nope, definitely Roxie, Preston.

 

Apparently Mel B trained as a dancer before she was in the Spice Girls.

Does anyone have a picture of Darius with Shakira? I noticed a thread in the Shakira forum, of pics of her with other celebs. As D supported Shakira on tour there must be a pic of them together somewhere. Anyone got any ideas?

It was in Paris but I dont remember any pictures at the time.

If we had known about it I'm sure some of us would have gone....and then we could show you the photos.

 

I've never seen any.....I'm sure someone somewhere should have a photo.....but where :unsure:

The concert was in march 2003. Found the thread on sister mothers site together with some posts from france at the time but there were no pictures on the thread.

I think this was yet another event that we never heard about. Some of us would have gone if we could

Hey did you know there are 'Darius' guitars?

 

The guitar is an electro-acoustic one that Darius helped to design to be sold to raise funds for a Christian charity called Guitar Aid who distribute guitars all around the world.

 

The guys who run the charity apparently got talking to Darius on a flight back from America in early 2004 and he was interested in what they were trying to do.

I've got one. It also has the words of 'Colourblind' written around the edge (although that is an added extra) and Darius assures me that he has played it and it is good.

They are decent guitars, well made and finished.
