Greed, Corruption, Exploitation, Adultery, Treachery... and now Jerry Springer joins the cast of the West End production of CHICAGO.
The kiss-and-tell story of chorus girl Roxie Hart who kills her lover; Velma Kelly, the glamorous double-murderer and Billy Flynn, the slick and manipulative lawyer keeping them from death row while promising to make them stars, has all the topicality of our celebrity-seeking times.
It also provides some of the most sensational roles in all musical theatre and now to an illustrious list of actors who have played Billy, comes Jerry Springer.
Lawyer, politician, musician, film actor and celebrated tabloid talk show host, British-born Jerry can even claim to be something of a dancer having reached the last stages of the 2006 US version of ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’
Jerry still records his show in Chicago, Illinois and recently chaired the hugely popular 'America's Got Talent' TV show.
In the UK Jerry made a memorable programme for the BBC’s series ‘Who do you think you are’ tracing his roots back from his birth in Highgate tube station during WWII. He has also hosted Channel 4's Friday Night Project, ITV's 'This Morning' and the BBC's 'Have I Got News For You'. This year he appeared as a guest on the long running game show, 'Countdown'.
Jerry Springer appears in Chicago from 1st June for a strictly limited season until 11 July.
