STAGE TUBE: CHICAGO's Inspiring Sharon Moore Featured on PIX-11 News
By: Tyler Peterson Aug. 22, 2014
Sex, murder, greed and corruption: it's just a typical day on the job for the cast of Broadway's long-running hit Chicago. But as PIX-11 News anchor Tamsen Fadal reveals, for Sharon Moore, it's a huge part of a truly remarkable journey. Sharon Moore has appeared on Broadway in "Fosse," "Oh! Kay" and "Hello Dolly." For the past 12 years, she's been a Swing in the Broadway cast of Chicago.
As a Swing, Sharon covers all six of the show's female ensemble roles, and is able to step-in and perform any one of them - sometimes with just a few minutes notice. But what audiences would never know is that in addition to the herculean job of performing six different roles at any given time, Sharon also navigates an incredible personal challenge as a veteran Broadway dancer - she's legally blind.

Chicago plays on Broadway at the Ambassador Theatre (219 W. 49th St.). For more information, visit www.ChicagoTheMusical.com.
