Chicago - 1997 - US Tour Articles Page 5

Giordano Dance Chicago has announced three world premieres to headline their upcoming April 10 & 11 Harris Theater program. The works are being choreographed by GDC Resident Choreographer and Emmy Award-winning Al Blackstone.

The Broadway production of Ragtime was a glorious accomplishment, a riveting testament to the original American musical and to all that America itself could be. The show ran for 834 performances at the Ford Center, closing in the final year of the 20th century. It was nominated for 13 Tony Awards, taking home four.

This season, three plays are receiving Broadway debuts which already made significant noise off-Broadway in their original productions, years ago. Becky Shaw, Bug, and Marjorie Prime will all be opening on Broadway in early 2026 in brand new productions. The first and last are spending time on Broadway at the Hayes under the auspices of Second Stage while Bug is being presented by Manhattan Theatre Club at their home, the Friedman. 

Two-time Tony Award nominee Kate Baldwin (Hello, Dolly!, Finian’s Rainbow) has extended her run in the role of Roxie Hart in Broadway's Chicago. Originally scheduled to depart on January 11, the star will now continue in the long-running revival through February 1, 2026.
