Incidentally, Chicago (the musical) was dull, VERY dull, with some soap
star bloke trying to sing the male lead without much success or
conviction, and Ruthie Henshall and the rest of the cast looking like
they'd all rather be somewhere else so they could enjoy themselves a bit.

That's a shame. Chicago is a wonderful piece - vital, energetic, exciting
and, when performed well, breathtaking. The original London cast - Ute
Lemper, Ruthie H, Henry Goodman and Nigel Planer - were superb. Shame about
Ian Kelsey being bad - he's done a couple of musicals so I would have
expected him to be OK.

Still, get the original London cast album - it's brilliant.
