Nothing has been announced. This is Robyn's final week and it's bizarre nothing has been mentioned. Who is this Johnson-Smith?
Robyn has extended her run as Velma through September 15.

Thank god. I was hoping to see her with Jinkx. How epic.
Who is this Robyn ? Why is it epic?

Robyn Hurder. Best Velma the show has had in quite some time.
Charlotte returns as Roxie on June 27.
Robyn Hurder as Velma Kelly

FYI, Robyn injured herself again on Sunday night. Doesn't sound serious and she's expected to come back on Thursday.
Matthew Winnege is truly multitalented. He covers the roles of bailiff, court clerk, "tap dance" specialty and Amos Hart. He posted a picture on IG as having had an Amos understudy rehearsal.
https://youtu.be/1f7snBn0rs4?si=4sPGo81joegV6VSv This is a video of Jinx singing various tunes in a song association game. By the way, who all is planning on seeing her when her limited run begins tomorrow, June 27?
Kind of odd Jinkx is only returning for 20 performances. Not even a full 3 weeks. This will probably give them a boost next week when July 4 weekend is typically quiet.
I wonder who is coming in as the next Billy Flynn when Max Von Essen finishes his (very) long run.

I'd assume Jayke workman is back as the standby then.
I was curious about Jayke Workman's voice, as I've never heard it. This is a duet with Teal Wicks. https://youtu.be/LEph860o38s?si=bGA9YW626dzqOMka

Workman did the non-equity tour of CHICAGO in 2019-20. When Chicago reopened and they had a COVID outbreak and needed a Mary Sunshine, Jayke got the call and made his Bway debut. He continues to get called in when either Lowe or London are on vacation.
Mary Claire King made her ROXIE debut last night. Charlotte has only been back a week and is already missing shows.
Madix will return from August 1 — September 1

Charlotte was out again this weekend with Rachel playing Roxie. Could have been due to them playing 12 shows over 9 days.
Today is Rob Bowman's final day as musical director for Chicago (per his Threads page) . I met him once at the stage door. Very nice person.

Such a nice guy. Did a terrific job as music supervisor for all of the international production as well.
Who will be the next Billy Flynn (after Max Von Essen)? For a future Billy, I would love to see Nick Adams.

Charlotte is still out. Rachel was Roxie on Monday and Tuesday and now Mary Claire King is Roxie tonight. Why did she even bother returning if she can't handle the role anymore?
