Kemp has a trained ear for music and is perhaps best known for being the bass guitarist for the four-member New Wave group Spandau Ballet. His experience on the band will make him a welcome addition to the production. Kemp's stage credits include Peter Pan and Million Dollar Quartet.
Cuba Gooding Jr. will continue in the role of the suave lawyer until 30 June 2018 as scheduled. The Kander and Ebb musical made a comeback in London's West End back in March. The cast includes Josefina Gabrielle as Velma Kelly, Sarah Soetaert as Roxie Hart, and Ruthie Henshall as Mama Morton. For more on the Phoenix Theatre production of Chicago, click here.
