Bianca Marroquin will rejoin the Broadway company of Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre on Monday, December 20, playing Roxie Hart.

Marroquin first portrayed the role in the Mexico City production of Chicago in 2002. For that performance, she received five awards from the Mexican Critics Association, including New Revelation and Best Actress. She was then invited to crossover from Mexico City to New York City, and made her English-language debut as Roxie Hart on Broadway later that year. She also performed the role on the third national tour of Chicago, earning a 2004 Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Lead Actress. Additional Broadway credits include The Pajama Game and In the Heights.

The current principal cast also includes Leigh Zimmerman as Velma Kelly, Tom Hewitt as Billy Flynn, Robert Creighton as Amos Hart and LaVon Fisher-Wilson as Matron “Mama” Morton.

Chicago has been directed by Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Ann Reinking. The creative team includes John Lee Beatty (scenic design), William Ivey Long (costume design), Ken Billington (lighting design), and Scott Lehrer (sound design).
