Amanda's heading to Chicago

As Sarah Potts considers heading off to Chicago, Amanda Billing is already there!

However Amanda hasn’t left the country - instead she's singing and dancing up a storm with Auckland Theatre Company.

Amanda Billing is putting aside her stethoscope to star alongside Lucy Lawless in one of the most famous musicals of all time – Chicago.

The musical is a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery – not for the faint hearted!

“I'm ridiculously excited,” says Amanda. “I haven't actually sung properly in a while now, and this is a wonderful way to get back into it."

The season starts at Q Theatre in Auckland on Friday 1st November. You can purchase tickets online at http://www.qtheatre.co.nz/

Tickets are selling fast, so get yours before it’s too late!

And if you want to know more about just what the show is about, you can also tune into 20/20 on Thursday 7th November at 9.30pm on TV2, when they get a backstage pass to follow Amanda as she heads for the bright lights of the theatre.

20/20 reporter Erin Conroy has exclusive access from first rehearsal to opening night, taking a behind-the-scenes look at the sweat and dedication needed to pull of one of the cornerstone shows in the Auckland Theatre Company's 2014 programme.
