Broadway favorite Jason Danieley (The Visit) will join the long-running musical Chicago on Tuesday, October 13, at the Ambassador Theatre. Danieley will play the razzle-dazzle lawyer Billy Flynn.
Danieley's Broadway credits also include Next to Normal, Curtains, The Full Monty, and Candide. He brings his solo show, Romantic Notions, to Feinstein's/54 Below October 2-5.
Featuring classic tunes by John Kander and Fred Ebb, Chicago tells the story of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media, and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her crime into a barrage of sensational headlines. The current revival, directed by Walter Bobbie, is now in its 19th year on Broadway.
The Broadway cast is currently led by Rumer Willis as Roxy Hart and Amra Faye Wright as Velma Kelly. They appear alongside Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron "Mama" Morton, and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
