Stephen Moyer will be putting on his dancing shoes this July! The actor who plays Bill Compton on True Blood will be starring in a production of Chicago at the Hollywood Bowl July 26-28th, 2013. Moyer will take on the role of Billy Flynn. The star studded production will be directed by actress Brooke Shields.
Joining Stephen on stage will be Spartacus star Lucy Lawless in the role of Mama, Les Miserables’ Samantha Barks as Velma Kelly, and Drew Carey as Amos Hart. Of the upcoming production, director Sheilds said in a statement that she couldn’t be more excited:
“I have a great feeling about this entire cast. I am excited for everyone to see how brilliant Samantha Barks is on stage. We’ve seen Stephen Moyer sing on ‘True Blood’ – and that dark, sexy side of Billy will be well served by him. Drew played the Dad in Hairspray at the Bowl two years ago, and he will bring not only comedy but depth to our Amos. I wouldn’t say no to anything Lucy Lawless ordered me to do…as ‘Mama’ or in life!! And let’s not forget the most exciting character … the Bowl itself!”
Tickets are on sale now.
