Amra-Faye Wright will once again play Velma Kelly in the Broadway production of Chicago, at the Ambassador Theatre, beginning tonight, February 2.
It has also been announced that Marco Zunino has extended his run as Billy Flynn through March 4, and Bianca Marroquin has extended her engagement as Roxie Hart through April 5. The cast also features Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart and Carol Woods 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).
