This afternoon, casting was announced for the Broadway company of CHICAGO, which resumes performances at the Ambassador Theatre on Tuesday, September 14th.

The cast has already begun to polish up its razzle dazzle for their big return and will celebrate the news this week with a performance on Good Morning America this Wednesday, August 25th at 8:49 AM (EST)!

Announced in the show's lead roles were Ana Villafañe as Roxie Hart, Bianca Marroquín as Velma Kelly, and Tony Award-winner Lillias White as Matron "Mama" Morton.

Tonight one of the show's new stars, Bianca Marroquin, shared some footage of her and the company in rehearsal for the performance. Get a peek at the cast in action here!

With a legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, Chicago is now the #1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history.

Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, Chicago is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording.

Directed by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ann Reinking, Chicago features set design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Tony Award winner William Ivey Long, lighting design by Tony Award winner Ken Billington, sound design by Scott Lehrer and casting by Stewart/Whitley.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

Tickets are available in person at the Ambassador Theatre (219 W 49th St). Box office hours are Monday through Saturday from 10:00am to 6:00pm. Tickets are also available at ChicagotheMusical.com

Buy tickets for Chicago now for any performance through January 17, 2022, and you can either exchange or refund your tickets into any other date until two hours before the performance.
