Once described as the "sexiest musical ever" (Metro), Chicago comes to The Hawth in Crawley for one week in August, starring Strictly Come Dancing Professional Dancer, Janette Manrara (It Takes Two, Burn The Floor,) as Roxie Hart.

For those of you not familiar with the theatre, the address is The Hawth, Hawth Avenue, Crawley RH10 6YZ and there is a large, free, car park at the theatre so parking will not be a problem.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer and features a sassy score with one show-stopping song after another including Razzle Dazzle, Cell Block Tango, and All That Jazz. With 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, CHICAGO truly is “SUPERB” (Daily Telegraph).
