X Factor’s Brenda Edwards Hits The West End!
X Factor contestant Brenda Edwards has been starnely quiet since leaving the show last December.
However just this week we heard that she has signed up for the role of Mama Morton in the stage production of Chicago.
MSN reports
“Edwards makes her West End stage debut in the London production of the smash hit musical, with Anna-Faye Wright as Velma Kelly and Italian stage and screen star Luca Barbareschi as Billy Flynn.
Wright played murderess Kelly on Broadway, while Barbareschi played Chicago lawyer Flynn in the Italian tour of Chicago.
The musical closes at the Adelphi Theatre on April 22 before reopening on April 28 at the Cambridge Theatre, the home of the show when the first production opened there in 1979.
Chicago became the longest-running production to play at the Adelphi Theatre in October last year.”
