As a special thank you to audiences who have supported Chicago for the past ten years, the producers have purchased 10 tickets from the gala's beneficiary, Safe Horizon, and will offer them to 10 lucky fans.
The tickets will be for the gala celebration performance on Tuesday, November 14th at the Ambassador Theatre when the original stars of the revival, Ann Reinking, Bebe Neuwirth, James Naughton, Joel Grey, Marcia Lewis and D. Sabella will join over 30 star alumni including Brooke Shields, Chita Rivera, Melanie Griffith, John O'Hurley, Kevin Richardson, Ashlee Simpson, Wayne Brady, Caroline O'Connor, Ruthie Henshall, Sharon Lawrence, Charlotte d'Amboise, and Brent Barrett in a special one-night-only performance of the show.
The tickets, one ticket per person for each year of the show's run, will be chosen by a lottery. Fans are invited to sign up outside the Ambassador Theatre, 219 West 49th Street starting at 3 pm on Monday, November 13th. The winners will be selected at 5 pm that day.
Chicago, which opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on November 14th 1996, has reached a run of over 4,100 performances at the Ambassador Theatre (215 W. 49th St.). Chicago received 6 1997 Tonys (including Best Revival of a Musical) under the direction of Walter Bobbie and the choreography of star Ann Reinking. The revival, based on Bobbie's stylistically stripped-down Encores! staging, featured direction and choreography by Bob Fosse in its original 1975 production. Chicago features a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, and a book by Ebb and Bob Fosse.
