Marti Pellow's stage musical debut as trial lawyer Billy Flynn in Chicago was a great success at the Adelphi.
His first appearance onstage was greeted with loud applause, and his performance as the evening progressed proved that his fans' confidence was entirely justified.
The role of Billy Flynn has attracted a wide variety of talent — including Henry Goodman and Sacha Distel — and Pellow has now taken his place in a long line of smooth sexy crooners in a pivotal role in this long-running Kander and Ebb musical.
