There was an abundance of the old razzle dazzle at London nighterie Punk this week, when Duncan James, former front-hunk of mega-huge boy band Blue celebrated his opening performance as Billy Flynn in the West End hit Chicago. The swoonsome star happily hobnobbed with the show’s Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart, (a.k.a. Amra-Faye Wright and Josefina Gabrielle), famous former Roxie Claire Sweeney and a gaggle of glitzy guys and gals who’d found James’ thesping to be every inch the equal of his masterful croon. Theatre.com was in like Flynn at the swanky bash—and here are the pictures to prove it.
