He'd be going in when she's leaving, so it's odd if she's hinting at a future Billy Flynn that she won't be sharing the stage with.

And he's currently in Florida now doing a show. So Max feels like he's only going to be there for about 4 weeks.

This question has been asked before, but it's been a while . What are the approximate weekly running costs for Chicago?

Max is very active on his IG, so I'm surprised he hasn't plugged his return. Maybe the new Billy Flynn u/s (Jeff Sullivan) will be on Thursday?

No word who the next Billy is that starts tomorrow. And it's not Von Essen."
Maybe they’ll bump up James T. Lane for a few weeks. He was on for a week while Tam was out presumably sick. He and Whitney probably have a good performance rapport that could carry the rest of her run"
James is Billy tonight and tomorrow. No word after that.

Patti LuPone FANatic said: "With the departure of Mikayla Renfrow, does that mean that a new person will join the cast of Chicago? Side note: Be careful out there with your nasty weather storm!"
of course there's a newbie coming in. Mariah Reives(Gatsby, Funny Girl) is the new Liz. Not sure if she covers any roles as each female lead has two covers already.

John Michael Fiumara will return to the show and replace Max Clayton. He previously played Fred Casley and will now cover that role. John will return this weekend. Meanwhile. Austin Dunn & Denny Paschall had to split Doctor/The Judge tonight. Mary Claire King has returned to cover Liz while Mikayla Renfrow is out.

The latest from 1 Minute Critic
“Not guilty.”
It’s the only English line the character of Hunyak says in Chicago, the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. And what a commentary on modern-day America it is.
The character of Hunyak is based on real-life Italian immigrant Sabella Nitti, accused and convicted of murdering her husband without a shred of evidence. While the musical’s creators used Nitti’s story to frame a warning about xenophobia (she’s the only character in “Cell Block Tango” who is, in fact, innocent), the real Nitti had Helen Cirese in her corner, an up-and-coming attorney who secured a retrial, gave the defendant a makeover, and overturned her conviction.

Don’t think she’s bad but they need to put her hair up or something like very college performance.
