CHICAGO did not perform this past Saturday night after employees at the Ambassador Theatre tested positive for the COVID virus.  Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no Monday or Tuesday performance (The show does not play on Wednesdays).

Per the production, 'because two people who work at the Ambassador Theatre tested positive for the COVID 19 virus today (Saturday, November 26th), the 8PM performance of CHICAGO will not proceed, out of an abundance of caution...'

There are many performing arts venues in the country and each one possesses varying degrees of acoustics and sound amplification apparatus. However, you can be certain that whatever place Paulo Szot’s voice is heard in the sound qualities of the room become infinitely elevated.
