Chicago will celebrate 30 years on Broadway with a special performance during the Tony Awards.

Queen Latifah, who earned an Academy Award nomination for her role as Matron Mama Morton in the film adaptation, will join Tony Awards host P!NK, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alex Newell, Adrienne Warren, Julianne Hough, Whitney Leavitt, Dylan Mulvaney, and more for a tribute performance.

Featuring a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander, and lyrics by Ebb, Chicago is the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. It won six Tony Awards in 1997, including Best Musical Revival.

As previously announced, the Tony Awards on June 7 will also include performances from all the nominated musicals and musical revivals, as well as a 15th anniversary performance from The Book of Mormon.
