A new slate of shows are billed to make their way to Broadway in Chicago for the 2023 season.
Kicking off in January and cycling through September 2023, a run of productions — most of which are Tony Award winners — will be available for viewing at theaters throughout the city. The latest series of shows will join the previously-announced productions of "1776," "Tina — The Tina Turner Musical," "A Soldier’s Play," "Jagged Little Pill" and "MJ" for the upcoming season.
Here are the new additions to the Broadway in Chicago lineup:
