On his first night as Billy Flynn in Chicago this summer, Tam Mutu eased onto the Ambassador Theatre stage surrounded by those now-famous massive feathers, singing of love while subtly winking at money. It was a fitting entrance for a Brit now starring as Broadway’s quintessential American showman—one whose razzle dazzle hides a darker edge. And you better believe that Mutu is loving every layered moment.

Forget about painting the town. Susan Goulet, House Electrician for Chicago, is painting the alley. With the help of a few cast members at the Ambassador Theatre and the permission of the Shubert Organization, she has revamped the alleyway that leads from 49th Street to the stage door, filling the brick walls with names from the revival’s almost-30 years on Broadway.

As the beloved musical turns 50, Bebe Neuwirth, Ashlee Simpson, Michelle Williams, Ariana Madix and others open up on the ever-seductive role.

Two-time Tony nominee Charlotte d’Amboise (A Chorus Line, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway), a frequent presence in the record-breaking revival of Chicago for over two decades, will return to the Tony-winning production May 26 at the Ambassador Theatre.
