Mark Ballas is returning to the Broadway production of Chicago!
The 40-year-old Dancing With the Stars pro is returning to the musical for a four-week limited engagement from Monday, July 20 to Sunday, August 16, 2026 at the Ambassador Theatre (219 W. 49th St.) in New York City.
Mark first made his Broadway debut in 2016 as the final actor to play Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys at the August Wilson Theatre, later performing on the national tour. He also starred as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots on Broadway in 2018. Most recently, Mark made his Broadway return as Billy Flynn in Chicago from April 6 to May 3, breaking the box office record every week during his four-week run, earning Chicago its highest gross in 30 years according to producers.
The current cast of Chicago features Rachel Schur as Roxie Hart, Sophie Carmen-Jones as Velma Kelly, Nik Walker as Billy Flynn, Jacqueline B. Arnold as Matron “Mama” Morton, Greg Hildreth as Amos Hart and J. Workman as Mary Sunshine.
The cast also includes Tia Altinay, Nicole Benoit, Zach Bravo, Austin Dunn, John Michael Fiumara, Danielle Marie Gonzalez, Chelsea James, Christopher Kelley, James T. Lane, Jenny Laroche, Marty Lawson, Joseph London, Kristen Faith Oei, Denny Paschall, Mariah Reives, Sean Samuels, Samantha Sturm, Jeff Sullivan.
Here’s a synopsis:
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
Here’s the current performance schedule: Mondays at 7pm, Tuesdays at 7pm, Thursdays at 7pm, Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2:30pm and 8pm, Sundays at 2pm and 7pm. There are added performances on Wednesday July 1 at 7pm and Thursday July 2 at 2pm as well.
