I'm very much hoping to see this performance. Hoping it may be at TKTS that day or I can get an inexpensive ticket for it; I just have other financial things to take care of this month, but it's a super important event that I'd love to be at! Crossing my fingers! I've only ever seen CHICAGO once on tour and it was when John O'Hurley was Billy. This would be the perfect way for ME, being Latinx, to see this show!

Hello. Instead of a "Chicago" related post, this is a very personal post. First of all, my health is fine. However, I am facing a very personal and complex challenge at the moment. This challenge is affecting my present...and future. My ability to undertake further trips to NYC will be severely curtailed. This has been an extremely difficult week for me...and more to come. I realize that I am being very vague, but it is necessary. I will appreciate any good thoughts and prayers during this difficult time in my life. In case I am unable to make any further posts about my favorite show (in the present or in the future), I will be seeking out another big fan of the show to continue with this thread if that is not possible for me. Thank you, RC in Austin, TX.

Jennifer Fouche posted that she'll be playing Matron Mama Morton at the Ambassador this week (if she hasn't already). Also, Mary Claire King mentioned in her IG that she'll be Velma Kelly from this Friday -- Sunday matinee.

Jennifer Fouche made her Mama debut at the Ambassador last night. She will perform the role thru October 24th.

Angel Reda recently posted on her IG that she was finishing up her time with "Chicago". I was sort of surprised at that.

I’d love that but I doubt that’ll happen .
the 10th anniversary with the rotation of Velma’s Roxie’s and Billy’s was beyond amazing The other special performance was great, this one I think will be lackluster

A lovely look back at Chicago from the New York Times with recollections from past to present:
‘Chicago’ Pops the Cork on 25 Years of Razzle Dazzle: Bebe Neuwirth, Joel Grey, Chita Rivera, John Kander and others discuss the Broadway revival’s surprising early success and its lasting legacy.

Congratulations to my favorite show "Chicago" for 25 years of razzle dazzle and all that jazz!

Just announced:
"Chicago will celebrate 25 years on Broadway tomorrow Tuesday, November 16th at 6:30PM with a very special performance.
Beginning at 5PM on the TKTS Red Steps in Times Square the Brooklyn United Marching Band will march to 49th Street playing Kander & Ebb music. The Ambassador Theatre will be lit in red with a star-studded red carpet. Chicago will receive a Mayoral Proclamation and will welcome appearances by original cast members and a tribute to Ann Reinking, plus other surprises throughout the night."

Really wish I could make tomorrow's big celebration. For anyone interested, there's plenty of seats still available.
Posted: 11/16/21 at 1:24pm
Surprised at how many seats are still unsold. It even popped up at TKTS. I’ll be there tonight and very much looking forward to it. Sounds like it will be pretty special, so hopefully that can fill the house!
Posted: 11/16/21 at 1:50pm
I wish I could make it tonight, I feel like there was no notice for the celebration, or even the addition of these Tuesday performances. Considering the reopening circumstances, a better option would've been to hold it during one of the weekends before or after the actual date.
Posted: 11/16/21 at 2:20pm
Yeah, very little notice on this celebration. Probably not enough time to even hand out comps to former cast members and crew.
