Anthony Warlow will star as Billy Flynn in a new Australian tour of Chicago. Zoe Ventoura will star as Velma Kelly and Lucy Maunder as Roxie Hart. Peter Rowsthorn will play Amos.

The production will open in Perth in November 2023, then tour Brisbane (from January 2024), Melbourne (March 2024) and Sydney (June 2024).

In an interview with Limelight magazine Warlow says:

It has always been a bucket list show of mine. I was fortunate to see that first Australian production at the Opera House with Nancye and Geraldine, and I then saw it again in New York in 1997. That was special to me because the guy playing Billy Flynn – James Naughton – was in Planet of the Apes, which used to be my favourite TV show.

[...] when this popped up, I said yes straight away. I can’t think of a better time to play the spin doctor, the professional liar. There’s something so very of-the-moment about that, especially with everything that’s going on in the United States.

Now I'm picturing Warlow in a production of The Simpsons' Planet of the Apes musical...
