Sinitta joins Chicago UK & Ireland tour: Tickets available now
Pop legend Sinitta is heading back to the stage as she joins the cast of Chicago as Mama Morton in the 2025 UK and Ireland tour – and yes, we're already humming 'Cell Block Tango' (Cicero!).
The 'So Macho' diva will bring her signature sass to the role across several dates, including Bournemouth, Canterbury, Norwich, Woking, Crawley and Glasgow.
Also stepping into the spotlight is Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara, who plays Roxie Hart at most venues. She's joined by Coronation Street fave Faye Brookes, returning for performances in Canterbury and Bristol. The role of silver-tongued lawyer Billy Flynn will be split between Olivier nominee Dan Burton, TV star Darren Day, and Strictly champ Kevin Clifton.
Sinitta's casting sees her share Mama duties with powerhouse vocalist and Loose Women regular Brenda Edwards, who reprises the role in cities including Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff and Salford.
The tour kicks off on 31 March at Bournemouth Pavilion and runs through to 30 August, with stops all over the country – including a London run at the New Wimbledon Theatre in June.
Featuring iconic songs like 'All That Jazz', 'Razzle Dazzle' and 'Mister Cellophane', the multi award-winning Chicago is a tale of murder, fame and courtroom drama set in the roaring twenties – a time when a gal could get away with anything if she had the right PR. Which, let's face it, Sinitta definitely does.

‘Orchestration Is All About Sex'
You probably know an unsung hero, someone whose accomplishments deserve more renown than they receive. My friend Tim Pleiman was like that. On May 26, he died at 60 of a heart attack. I don't want him to be forgotten. Tim was a gifted musician. In the 1990s he was involved in numerous productions at Chicago's New Tuners theater company, which was the first group in the city to specialize in producing new musicals. It presented Jane Boyd and my first musical, 'Charlie's Oasis,' in 1990 and hired Tim to orchestrate it. Later that fall, when the show went to Russia, Tim reorchestrated his small five-piece ensemble for a 35-piece orchestra.
