Chicago's "Talkback Tuesdays" series, the monthly post-show discussion series that launched Sept. 23 with director Walter Bobbie, will continue in January 2009.

Following the Jan. 6, 2009, performance of the long-running, Tony-winning revival of Kander and Ebb's Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre, actress Melora Hardin will take part in a discussion and question-and-answer session.

Hardin, as previously announced, will step into the role of merry murderess Roxie Hart Dec. 29.

The series, according to press notes, is designed to "provide theatregoers with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of Chicago."

An actress, singer and songwriter, Melora Hardin's numerous screen credits include "The Office," "The Comebacks," "Monk," "Me, Mom, Dad, and Her," "Gilmore Girls," "Without a Trace," "Thank You for Smoking," "Boston Legal," "Judging Amy," "Once and Again," "Certain Guys," "Erasable You," "Absolute Power," "Renegade," "Touched By an Angel" and "Friends." Hardin was seen this past summer as Fantine in the Hollywood Bowl's Les Misérables in Concert. She will be seen in April 2009 in the Zac Efron film "Seventeen Again" and in "Hannah Montana: The Movie."
