Overview
- Producers announced that Mark Ballas will play Billy Flynn from July 20 to August 16, 2026, at the Ambassador Theatre.
- His July engagement follows a short run earlier this year in which he reunited onstage with his Dancing With the Stars partner Whitney Leavitt.
- The show continues with a stable resident company led by Rachel Schur as Roxie Hart and Sophie Carmen-Jones as Velma Kelly while limited runs rotate through Flynn’s role.
- Ballas is a three-time Dancing With the Stars champion with prior Broadway credits including Jersey Boys and Kinky Boots, a profile producers use to draw wider attention.
- The casting choice fits a sustained strategy for the long-running, Tony-winning revival — which has played in dozens of countries and is one of Broadway’s longest-running shows — of recruiting crossover guest performers to boost box office and media visibility.
