The Broadway musical Chicago has announced that Emmy Award winner Derek Hough will make a special one-night-only appearance. Hough is scheduled to deliver the opening monologue of the show during the 7:00 p.m. performance on Monday, July 20.
Following the conclusion of the performance, a post-show talkback event will take place on stage. Former Chicago cast member and Emmy Award nominee Mark Ballas will join Hough for the conversation, and all ticket holders for the Monday evening performance are invited to stay after the final curtain.
Both performers share a background that includes training at the Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts and Musical Theatre in London, England. Ballas previously starred in the production as Billy Flynn during a record-breaking four-week run, while Hough has performed on stage in the West End production of Footloose and in Radio City Music Hall’s Spring Spectacular.
Beyond their theater work, both men are known for their history on the television series Dancing with the Stars. Hough is a six-time champion and current judge on the program, while Ballas is a three-time champion who recently appeared on the fourth season of The Traitors US.
The current Broadway cast of Chicago features Krysta Rodriguez as Roxie Hart, Sophie Carmen-Jones as Velma Kelly, and Matteo Lane as Billy Flynn. The production is currently running at the Ambassador Theatre, located at 219 West 49th Street in Manhattan, with tickets available through the official show website.
