South Korean pop star Ivy makes her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning revival of Chicago beginning August 17 at the Ambassador Theatre. Ivy plays Roxie Hart for a limited engagement through September 6.
Tony nominee Max von Essen returns to the role of Billy Flynn. The current cast also features Sophie Carmen-Jones as Velma Kelly, Jacqueline B. Arnold as Matron “Mama” Morton, Eddie Cooper as Amos Hart, and J. Workman as Mary Sunshine.
Following her Broadway run, Ivy will perform the same role in the Seoul production of Chicago beginning December 5 at the LG Arts Center Theatre.
The Chicago revival opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on November 14, 1996, and won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical in 1997. It is now the second-longest running show in Broadway history.
