Chicago presents QUEEN TO QUEEN with Jinkx Monsoon & Kristin Chenoweth, a “jazzy” post-show event at the Ambassador Theater following the Chicago evening performance on Friday, March 17th. Buy a ticket to Chicago and get instant access to see Jinkx and Kristin on stage together for the first time.
Two-time “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Jinkx Monsoon is currently playing the role of “Matron ‘Mama’ Morton” at the Ambassador Theater (219 W. 49th St., NYC) through Sunday, March 26, 2023 only.
This year (and every year) Chicago producers are also celebrating the work of Broadway legend John Kander, who co-wrote the Chicago film score with the late Fred Ebb. Kander has the honor of having presented a show on Broadway every season for the past 50 years. He has been on Broadway since 1959, when he received his first fame as a dance music arranger and audition pianist with Gypsy.

Set in the glamorous decadence of the 1920s, Chicago plays the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her casual lover after he threatens to leave her. To avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media, and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s most skilled criminal defense attorneys to turn her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines that could just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
PERFORMANCE PLAN
Monday at 7pm, Tuesday at 7pm, Thursday at 7pm, Friday at 8pm, Saturday at 2:30pm and 8pm, Sunday at 2pm and 7pm Clock
