Tom Hewitt will play Billy Flynn in the Broadway company of Chicago, performing at the Ambassador Theater, beginning November 3. As previously announced, Charlotte d'Amboise will join the cast the same date as Roxie Hart. They replace Tom Wopat and Michelle DeJean, who will play their final performances November 2.

Chicago features a score by John Kander and the late Fred Ebb, including such hits as "All That Jazz," "Mister Cellophane," "Razzle Dazzle," and "Nowadays."

Hewitt received Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations for The Rocky Horror Show. His other Broadway credits include Dracula, The Musical; The Boys form Syracuse; Disney's The Lion King; School for Scandal and The Sisters Rosenzweig.
