Grey, Lewis, Naughton, Neuwirth, Reinking Will Reunite for Chicago‘s 10th Anniversary

Joel Grey, Marcia Lewis, James Naughton, Bebe Neuwirth, and Ann Reinking, the original stars of the Broadway revival of Chicago, will reunite for the show’s 10th anniversary gala performance on Tuesday, November 14. The event, which is being billed as “Justice Served, In Our Own Words,” will benefit Safe Horizon, a victims’ assistance organization.

Walter Bobbie, the show’s Tony Award-winning director, will return to helm the performance, which will also feature many of the production’s alumni and other special guest stars. Rocco Landesman, James Nederlander, Sr., and Gerald Schoenfeld will act as honorary chairs for the event.

This production of Chicago was first presented as part of the City Center Encores! series in the spring of 1996 with Reinking, Neuwirth, et al. in the leads; producers Barry and Fran Weissler brought it to Broadway that fall. Since then, dozens of stars have done stints in the show, including Sandy Duncan, Brooke Shields, Karen Ziemba, Melanie Griffith, Robin Givens, and Rita Wilson, who is currently playing Roxie Hart. Next month, R&B star Usher will join the cast as lawyer Billy Flynn.

Tickets to the event range in price from $500 to $5,000. Call 212-577-7749 for information.
