The National Tour of CHICAGO The Musical has released a first look at all new photos from the production. Check out the photos and learn more about the show here!

Dear Readers, if you’re a die-hard musical theater nerd like me, there are certain shows that just feel like a warm hug. A comfort show that you can go to (and have) over and over that just make you happy. For me, along with the likes of “Mamma Mia”, “Little Shop of Horrors”, and “Hairspray”, we have the Kander and Ebb classic, “Chicago”. I know it backwards and forwards (having worn out the CD of the Bebe Neuwirth and Ann Reinking revival) and I’ve seen it many times over the years, some with casts showing how the show can be amazing. I still remember Bianca Marroquín flooring me as Roxie. So, when the tour comes through town again, I say “yes please”. And while this was still my little slice of comfort food, and while some elements were fantastic, this production just missed that little something “extra” to make it sparkle.

Broadway’s Chicago welcomes two-time Tony nominee Kate Baldwin as Roxie Hart beginning November 10, 2025, and Tony Award winner Alex Newell as Matron “Mama” Morton beginning November 17 at the Ambassador Theatre.

Never Too Late marks a milestone moment in the career of viral dance icon Kim Hale, who has inspired millions with her story of reconnecting with her love of dance later in life. Known to many as the 57-year-old dancing powerhouse who leapt into the internet spotlight mid-pandemic, Hale took center stage in a different way at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, by bringing her authenticity, humor, and heart to a live audience.
