The name on everybody’s lips is Janette Manrara, as the Strictly Come Dancing and It Takes Two star is set to make her musical theatre debut in the Chicago UK tour.
The pro dancer will be taking on the role of Roxie Hart in the musical’s nationwide run, performing in over 20 venues across the UK and Ireland.
Manrara’s stint as the leading lady will follow on from Coronation Street’s Faye Brooks, who is playing the role at the moment alongside fellow Strictly dancer Kevin Clifton as Billy Flynn.
The presenter will be joined by Djalenga Scott as Velma Kelly, alongside Joshua Lloyd as Amos Hart and Jordan Lee Davies as Mary Sunshine. However, we expect more famous casting is on the way, as the replacements for Mama Morton and Billy Flynn have not been announced.
Following the casting news Manrara said: “This is a dream come true! To have my musical theatre debut be playing the iconic Roxie Hart is so exciting. She is a beautifully complex character, and I cannot wait to bring my Roxie to the stage.
“I truly look forward to working with the incredible cast and the whole team of one of the best musicals of all time. Looking forward to seeing everyone that comes to the show and giving them a real ‘razzle dazzle’ of a show!”
