The role of Roxie’s simple, loving husband Amos Hart is played by Dean de Klerk (Kinky Boots, Rent, The Sound of Music) and M.E. Marvey is the upbeat reporter, Mary Sunshine.

“You’ve got it comin!’” “The multi-talented CHICAGO cast is a dazzling showcase of versatility, blending world-class performances with undeniable flair. Each cast member brings their own unique energy to the stage, delivering the timeless themes of ambition, fame, and corruption through their skillful performances to make the South African Chicago production an unforgettable theatre experience,” says Hazel Feldman of Showtime Management.
A nightclub singer, a double murderess, a smooth-talking lawyer, and a cell block of sin — all set against the razzle dazzle of the world’s sexiest musical. Chicago is fuelled by catchy jazz-infused songs like “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” and “Razzle Dazzle,” which amplify its energy and sharp satire. Ultimately, Chicago is a bold commentary on the pursuit of celebrity and the extreme lengths people will go to for attention and success, no matter the cost.
- Winner of six Tonys, two Oliviers, one Grammy, two Baftas and six Academy Awards, CHICAGO continues to be one of the most successful international musical hits of all time. CHICAGO’s international appeal stems from its enticing tale of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery-characteristics the entire world is drawn to. This great musical is simply … Broadway at its best.
