Long live CHICAGO. Last night, in New York City,  the celebration began on the TKTS Red Steps in Times Square with a performance from the Brooklyn United Marching Band. 

The Ambassador Theatre was lit in red with a star-studded red carpet, featuring members of the Original Broadway cast, the current Broadway cast, and more stars.

Chicago received a Mayoral Proclamation, accepted by original cast members Joel Grey, James Naughton, and Bebe Neuwirth. Mayor-Elect Eric Adams also made a surprise appearance – his first appearance at a Broadway show to thank audiences for returning to theatres.
