Chicago to be shown at Showcase in Peterborough

Rob Marshall’s rousing and energetic adaptation of the smash-hit Broadway musical is a spectacular triumph that went on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renée Zellweger star as two death row murderesses vying for fame, publicity and the attentions of a less-than-reputable lawyer, Richard Gere, to escape the noose in 1920’s Chicago.

James Dobbin, director of event cinema for Showcase Cinemas, said: “This show-stopping musical was a huge box-office hit, praised by both critics and fans alike, so we wanted to bring the magic of this dazzling and thrilling film back to the cinema once more.

“Classic films like Chicago were meant to be enjoyed on the big screen, so whether you’re a musical aficionado, or want to catch this timeless movie in the cinema while you can, come and see this exclusive limited screening.”

Chicago will be shown in Peterborough at 7.15pm on Sunday, March 29 and 7pm on Monday, March 30.

The screening forms part of Showcase Cinema’s Flashback series, with classic and cult films being shown throughout 2020, including The Aristocats, Billy Elliot, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Aliens.
