Has anyone seen the show with Whitney in it? I’m curious how the audience is. When I saw Chicago with Erika Jayne (I think that was her name), the audience was just terrible. They made it very obvious they were only there to see her and not the show. T was the least enjoyable time I’ve had at Chicago. I hope Whitney’s fans are better and more appreciative of the show.

Some Reddit reports have said they've been terrible. Not surprise. Any time a reality TV star enters the show, the trash level audience members come out by the bus loads to show up. Honestly, what's the draw w/Whitney? What makes her so popular? *NOTE: I've never seen her TV show, so I honestly didn't know who she was hen she was announced.

Happy Trails to Jessica Ernest,  who is Chicago's "Go To Hell Kitty".  She announced on her Instagram page that her last day with the show is April 7, 2026.  By the way, I forgot that this past March 20th was the 15th Anniversary that I began this Chicago thread.  So much has happened and so many cast members have come and gone since then.

Mary Claire King might return to the show for the Spring/Summer before joining WANTED as the replacement for Ernest.

Whitney is out of the show until at least Tuesday per her IG story. Hopefully her fans are kind to the box office staff and the show.
