Rachel Schur will return to the record-breaking Broadway production of Chicago August 18 at the Ambassador Theatre.

Schur, also seen as Annie in the Tony-winning revival of the John Kander and Fred Ebb classic, will play Roxie Hart for a limited engagement through September 14.

Schur has also been seen in Jersey Boys, the national tour of A Chorus Line, the international tour of Fame, and more. Her screen credits include Law & Order: SVU and Mozart in the Jungle.

As previously reported, Oscar winner Mira Sorvino will make her Broadway debut in Chicago, playing Roxie, beginning September 15.

The current cast of Chicago features Dylis Croman as Roxie Hart, Bianca Marroquín as Velma Kelly, Tam Mutu as Billy Flynn, Jacqueline B. Arnold as Matron “Mama” Morton, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, and D. Sabella as Mary Sunshine. 

The ensemble includes Zach Bravo, David Bushman, Jessica Ernest, Jeff Gorti, Chelsea James, Arian Keddell, James T. Lane, Marty Lawson, Joseph London, Barrett Martin, Sharon Moore, Celina Nightengale, Kristen Faith Oei, Denny Paschall, Mikayla Renfrow, Sean Samuels, Samantha Sturm, and Matthew Winnegge.

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 in 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).
