Has Clive Rowe started as Amos yet? And who is currently playing Mary Sunshine after Tom Solomon finished on Saturday?

Hope somebody can help!

Not sure if Clive Rowe has started, but I understand that Matthew Lloyd Davies left Chicago last Saturday. Tom Solomon extended his run as Mary Sunshine until October.

Tom Solomon extended his run as Mary Sunshine until October.

Ooh lovely - thanks. Anyone know till WHEN in October?

[headintheclouds]

28th I think, but it would be worth checking.

Tom Solomon extended his run as Mary Sunshine until October.

Confirmation from Tom himself (by email):

I am now finishing on Sat 27th Oct.

NB: There's one date Tom's OFF Chicago: to sing in a Concert to be broadcast on Radio 2:

I am off the show on Friday 31st Aug, as I am singing live on BBC Radio 2, Friday Night is Music Night

I saw Clive Rowe last week and thought he was wonderful and the show in not too bad a shape apart from a few ropey notes from the band and Duncan James was off and we had this little guy in Tux ,Denman think he was called and i thought he was hopeless.

Hi everyone!

I am a new member to WhatsOnStage so if I am doing this wrong please could someone let me know.

Firstly I would like to advise any Chicago fans to go and see Chicago within the next couple of months because (in my opinion of course!) it currently has the best cast that it has ever had and I have seen it 15 times over the last 2 years!! Josefina Gabrielle is absolutely stunning to watch and is by a long way the best Roxie that I have ever seen and Clive Rowe is the best Amos Hart. I loved Amra-Faye Wright but I think Annette McLaughlin is fantastic as Velma, both Amra and Annette have different strengths and are equally watchable.

Josefina has extended her run until 18th October for anyone who wishes to see her in particular.

I completely agree! Although Josefina Gabrielle is a must see as Roxie, if she is on stage you won't be watching anyone else!

Thanks for letting us know re Annette - I'd not seen that publicised anywhere else!

Anyone know when Duncan James is staying till,
and if he's not staying till late Oct like lots of the other leads, who'll be the next Billy Flynn?
