The Broadway company of CHICAGO continues "Talkback Tuesdays," a new monthly series offering a post-show discussion and audience Q&A session with members of the Broadway company of the record-breaking hit musical.
Designed to provide theatergoers with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of CHICAGO, the next "Talkback Tuesdays" offering is set for Tuesday, November 18, 2008, featuring a post-show conversation with two-time Tony Award nominee and the show's current Roxie Hart, Charlotte d'Amboise.
The Tuesday, November 18 talkback was moderated by Ms. d'Amboise's father, legendary choreographer and ballet dancer Jacques d'Amboise.
