Chicago

“An exciting and excellent classic. Everyone is splendid without exception. Ivan Labanda as Billy Flynn is a true success… He’s the focal point everyone wants to have nearby. Labanda constantly tightens the screws on his character to bring us closer to a Billy who, on the surface, appears candid and lawful, but underneath the lawyer’s attire, we find a person driven by self-interest. The duality that Labanda manages to reveal when he wants is what makes his character so intriguing to the audience. Even at times, he manages to overshadow the leading ladies on stage.”
