Rachel Chase is on as Roxie Hart tonight (per her IG).
So apparently COVID has hit Chicago again, hence why Amra is probably back. Ryan Lowe(Mary Sunshine) has been mostly out since late November. Joseph London left the show (planned) on December 12. Chris Caballero replaced J. London and has been going on since he left. The show has brought in newbie Jayke Workman as an additional Mary Sunshine cover. Pilar Millhollen & Eddie Bennett have both be back with the show since mid-December.

On this date, December 30, 1926, "Chicago" opened for the first time. https://www.playbill.com/production/chicago-music-box-theatre-vault-0000002694

Has Amra replaced Bianca now? My friend was at the show tonight and instead of an understudy slip it said “we welcome to the company Amra-Faye Wright, Joseph London, [and two others].”
Oooops. If J. London is back, does that mean that Christophe Caballero is no longer with the cast?

Not sure, but Caballero played Mary Sunshine on Thursday. R. Lowe still appears to be out. They should keep him as a swing/Mary Sunshine standby for a while.
Christophe Caballero is still listed as a "standby" in the official Chicago site. I'm still curious as to who might replace Ana Villafane. While there haven't been any whispers about Emma Pittman, the upcoming Roxie could be Dylis Croman or Charlotte D'Amboise. Either Dylis or Charlotte would be a wonderful mentor to Emma Pittman prior to a potential Pittman run.
Joseph London is on as "Amos Hart" today at the 2:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. shows.
Cast lists get updated on Monday typically on Playbill. Curious to see if they keep Caballero.
I saw Christophe Caballero once as Mary Sunshine (Fort Worth 2018). In that character, he bears a strong resemblance to Molly Ringwald.
Chicago Cellblock Tour veteran Matthew Winnege is making his Broadway debut (in place of Michael Scirrotto) in the role of "The Jury". I've seen Matthew play this role on tour. Audiences will be in for a treat!
The editing feature is not working properly. Matthew Winnege is filling in temporarily for Michael Scirrotto.
Looks like Colt Adam Weiss is also back for a bit, not sure how long.
James Monroe Iglehart will join the Broadway company of “Chicago” as Billy Flynn, starting January 17th!

Seems like he'd be a better fit for Amos.

Really? With his stature and personality, I easily see him as a Billy Flynn.

You definitely don’t have a grasp on business logistics.
They announce a new Billy, but no announcement on the new Velma and Roxie set to begin next Monday?

You think he'll bring in business? Maybe a few theater nerds.

He definitely won’t explode the box office but he has some valuable creds for marketing his name and generate some business. The smoke and mirrors of the entertainment industry: razzle dazzle them, so to speak. Market him like he’s a really big deal since he’s a Tony Award winner. The simplest things created a “Wow!” factor that grab tourist attention.
“Now starring Tony Award winner James Monroe Inglehart as Billy Flynn!”
Tourists will definitely have zero idea who he is but he’s a Tony Award winner (whatever that it), so he’s someone. Oooh.
