$20 Chicago rush tickets will be offered for one performance only—an March 5 2PM matinee, added to the schedule after last week's blizzard cancellations. The specially priced tickets will be available in-person at the Ambassador Theatre box office beginning at 10 AM the day of the performance.

The production currently stars Whitney Leavitt, star of Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, as Roxie Hart for a limited engagement through March 15.

The record-breaking revival, currently celebrating its 29th anniversary, also features Sophie Carmen-Jones as Velma Kelly, Tam Mutu as Billy Flynn, Jacqueline B. Arnold as Matron "Mama" Morton, M. Kilgore as Mary Sunshine, Greg Hildreth as Amos Hart, and ensemble members Tia Altinay Chelsea James, Austin Dunn, Danielle Marie Gonzalez, Christopher Kelley, and Jeff Sullivan.

The revival of Chicago began life as one of the three annual Encores! presentations offered by City Center. The musical opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre November 14, 1996, where it remained through February 1997. The musical transferred to the Shubert Theatre, and played that house through January 26, 2003. The revival reopened at the Ambassador Theatre January 29 that year.

Since its debut in 1996, Chicago has played in 36 countries and been seen by 33 million people worldwide. It is now the second-longest running show in Broadway history (after the recently closed The Phantom of the Opera).
