West End and TV star Darren Day is to return to his celebrated role as Billy Flynn in Chicago in Southampton for one week only next week.
Best known for Joseph, Grease, and Summer Holiday, Darren will star alongside Coronation Street star Faye Brookes and X Factor winner Brenda Edwards at Mayflower Theatre from Tuesday November 19 to Saturday November 23.
Set amidst the decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who murders her lover. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer Billy Flynn to sensationalise her crime in the press.
Darren said: "It's a role that’s had my heart for many years, so I was thrilled to be asked to step into his shoes once again. I can’t wait to bring the old razzle dazzle to Southampton, with this phenomenal cast!”
