The Broadway company of Chicago, which resumes performances at the Ambassador Theatre September 14, strutted their stuff on the August 25 broadcast of ABC's Good Morning America.

Bianca Marroquín led the company in the John Kander and Fred Ebb classic "All That Jazz" live in Times Square. Watch the performance below.

As previously announced, when performances resume on Broadway, the cast will be led by Ana Villafañe (On Your Feet!) as Roxie Hart, Marroquín (a longtime Roxie in the revival) as Velma Kelly, and Tony winner Lillias White (The Life, How to Succeed…) as Matron Mama Morton with Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart and Ryan Lowe as Mary Sunshine.

Ensemble members include David Bushman, Jennifer Dunne, Jessica Ernest, Jeff Gorti, Arian Keddell, Mary Claire King, Barrett Martin, Sharon Moore, Drew Nellessen, Celina Nightengale, Brian O'Brien, Denny Paschall, Angel Reda, Jermaine R. Rembert, Michael Scirrotto, Christine C. Smith, and Brian Spitulnik.

The revival of Chicago began life as one of the three annual Encores! presentations offered by City Center. The musical opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in November 1996, where it remained through February 1997. The musical transferred to the Shubert Theatre, and played that house through January 26, 2003. The revival reopened at the Ambassador Theatre January 29 that year.

It is now the second-longest running show in Broadway history (after The Phantom of the Opera).
