I heard from a source she'll be joining the show sometime in the Spring.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Jackson is 6’1”. She’d be the TALLEST person on that Ambassador Theatre stage. Her opening “All That Jazz” number would be totally awkward looking as would “Nowadays” and “Hot Honey Rag” where she is side-by-side with another person. MJ is standard size: 5’8”.

Angelica Ross for Roxie!"
Yes! And hell, let's go for Angel Bismark Curiel as Billy!

Do we think Desi Oakley will be coming back as Roxie? Or they will be stunt casting this time around? I'm surprised to see no rehearsal photos or virtually no news on Chicago yet.
I heard John Lloyd Young reveal in a podcast interview a while ago that he was actually set to do a stint as Billy Flynn before COVID hit. I wonder if he'll still get to do it at some point.
