Now that\u2019s what we call an encore! After breaking box office records in Chicago<\/i><\/a> this past spring, Mark Ballas is officially returning to Broadway<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stepping back into the shoes of the devious and dashing Billy Flynn, the Dancing with the Stars<\/i> pro will make his grand re-entrance to the Ambassador Theatre<\/a> on July 20, 2026 for a limited four-week run through August 16.<\/p>\n

Fresh off fan favorite runs on DWTS<\/i> and The Traitors<\/i>, Ballas\u2019 first go-around in the lauded, murderous musical was certainly an unforgettable one: not only did his casting opposite pal Whitney Leavitt as Roxie<\/a> help the long-running production reach unprecedented heights in ticket sales, the duo also made Dancing with the Stars<\/i> history as the first pair to ever headline a Broadway show together after competing in ABC\u2019s famous ballroom dance competition.<\/p>\n

Now, Ballas\u2019 latest stint as Billy Flynn will help commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Tony-winning revival, which originally opened in 1996 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre before moving to the Shubert Theatre a few months later and eventually landing at its current, longtime home at the Ambassador in 2003.<\/p>\n
