Tonight's show appears to be on as it's up at TKTS. Let's see if it happens.
Ana is back tonight. After a 10 day quarantine.
Is Bianca back, too? She just did an interview with Theatermania, so I'd assume she's all clear.
Bianca was back on tonight according to her IG.
As expected, none of these breakthrough infections yielded serious infection.
God, I love vaccines.
Once again for the record, Bianca is a terrific Velma. Saw her the iconic re-launch night of 9/14. So glad she's in the show, and well in the show.
Has Ana Villafane returned as Roxie?

Yes
Lillias White will depart Chicago on December 26, and both Villafañe and Marroquín will play their final performances on January 9.

I hope Emma Pittman gets a chance as Roxie...sooner rather than later.
I haven't seen this in quite a while. Chicago 1976 Tony Awards...with an introduction by Jane Fonda. https://youtu.be/oF0I-9p_yDM
"Chicago" veteran Christophe Caballero is joining the cast as a Mary Sunshine standby. I'm not sure how long he'll be there, but he knows every inch of the Fosse style.

This is great as Mary Sunshine’s dance numbers are sheer iconic Bob Fosse so we can expect his interpretations to be layered with subtext.
I asked him about his stay at the Ambassador. He said he'd be the Mary Sunshine standby until early January. (I hope J. London is o.k.)
A few days ago, Drew Nellessen went on as Amos Hart...per his IG picture. It seems that the show has a very large pool of former cast members who can go help out, in the event of any casting emergency.

Ana posted an Instagram Story video of him performing that she filmed from the wings.

Sunday had J. London as Mary Sunshine and Denny Paschal was also out. All four swings were on both shows Sunday as well.
Both Ana Villafane and Bianca Marroquin finish their current run in "Chicago" on Jan. 9th. My guess for a Velma Kelly replacement could be Terra C. (There aren't that many available Velmas out there.) Lana Gordon in playing Persepone (at certain performances) in Hadestown. For Roxie, I wish Emma Pittman finally gets her debut after about a 2 year wait. I see that Jennifer Fouche is listed as Matron Mama Morton on the official website. Lillias White just ended her run. Another fabulous Mama Morton is Hayley Swindal. Some time ago, she sang to me in a Cameo video. Her singing is phenomenal!
Jennifer Fouche confirmed her return as Matron Mama Morton, on her Facebook page.

Again?
ACL, do you have any idea who's coming up as the next Roxie? So, if Amra is back as Velma, does that mean that Bianca Marroquin is not well at the moment?

She's supposed to play Roxie.
Amra came in when Bianca was out with COVID last month. So it's odd for her to be back again unless Bianca is on vacation this week.
