Even if she’s not the greatest dancer or singer (per reports), I feel like there have been far worse people they’ve brought aboard. If anything, as long as she can hold a note, she can do as many a Roxie have done and just act through the song."

Chicago does have rush tickets, in person for $49.  I think it's one of the rushes you can get after 10am and even when Pam Anderson was in the show I saw her through a rush ticket.

Rush has in person rush that's usually easily obtainable.

Really? Wow. Literally ANY time I went (and I’m talking no Star casting - just needed something to see) to rush, I was told no, they only have standing room when sold out.

Their policy is like any other Broadway show offering in-person rush. Available when the box office opens on a first come basis. From past experiences, it's usually between 20-24 tickets.

I got a single rush ticket for last night's performance about 10 minutes before curtain. Orchestra, Row H, seat 12. Did not have a problem at the box office at all. Mira, despite some hesitancy in her dancing, won me over by the end. I've seen Chicago 8 times post-pandemic and 23 times overall and it rarely disappoints. I'm glad that they continue to stunt cast Roxie to give us New Yorkers a reason to return. And at $49 a pop, it's always worth it.

I'll take a wild guess and say that it'll be Max Von Essen returning as Billy.
