Chicago, Milton Keynes Theatre, March 8 to 12.
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her onthe-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines. Expect slinky songs and drama galore. Visit atgtickets.com/MiltonKeynes to book. Photo: Supplied

8. Music
Ensemble 360, The Stables, Wavendon, March 17.
Ensemble 360 return to The Stables with a sumptuous and sparkling concert of strings and clarinet repertoire. Opening with Brahms’ virtuosic sonata, the concert begins with lyricism, grace and warmth. The programme continues with two
of the composer’s lesser known inheritors who crackle with finde-siècle verve: Rabl’s optimistic quartet is an overlooked gem of the chamber repertoire, by
turns languid and vivacious. Closing with Zemlinksky’s passionate trio, this is a programme full of warmth and energy which concludes with an explosive flourish. A limited number of free tickets are available for those aged eight to 25, too. Visit
stables.org to book or for more information. Photo: Supplied
