Ali cuts ribbon on new theatre room

Ali was given the honour of opening the Irving Room at the King's Theatre in Southsea, near Portsmouth, while appearing at the venue on tour with Chicago.

The room was recently restored to its original Edwardian glory after years of neglect and will be used as a community space for schools and groups visiting the theatre.

Ali told The News in Portsmouth: ‘It’s an absolute honour to open the Irving Room and to see it restored in all its former glory. The cast of Chicago are having the most fabulous time at the Kings Theatre. It’s the most beautiful theatre we have been in so far and you can see the history all around it.’

The News also reviewed the show.
