🦋On this day in 2005 Darius made his official West End debut in the musical Chicago, when his press night was held at the Adelphi Theatre in London.
His first run was a strictly limited 8-week season, but he was so popular he was asked to extend it for another month and ended up playing until 11th February 2006.
Speaking to the The Mirror at the time of his casting he said:"I'm very excited, apparently I'm the youngest Billy Flynn ever which is a huge privilege." He also spoke to the Daily Record in February 2006 about being asked to stay on saying:
"I was originally contracted until January and they asked me to stay for an extra four weeks.
"I've been very fortunate with the twists and turns that I've gone through in my life. I get a buzz out of every night, giving and learning a lot from other performers who have filled the show.
"I really feel a lot of respect for these people who are phenomenally fit and have real dedication."
In November 2005 Darius featured on GM:TV with host Jenni Falconer to perform "They Both Reached For The Gun" from the show:
