Wilson, Harris To Participate in “Talkback” Series

Fans of Grey’s Anatomy or Dancing with the Stars may have been surprised to find that one of their favorite characters or spokespersons are conquering Broadway, but with the upcoming launch of Chicago both Chandra Wilson (Dr. Bailey from Grey’s Anatomy) and Samantha Harris (Dancing with the Stars) have been plucked from their respective primetime television shows, now preparing for a run on the big stage. Wilson will play mama Morton in Chicago from June 8 - July 5 and Harris will play Roxie Hart from July 7 - August 16, and in the meantime both fan favorites will partake in a discussion and question-answer session concerning the upcoming Chicago revival at the Ambassador Theatre in Manhattan.

Both actresses will take part in Chicago’s “Talkback Tuesdays” series, a post-show discussion about the musical, in the next couple months. Chandra Wilson will participate in the “Talkback” program following the June 23 performance of Chicago, while Samantha Harris will be the featured guest for “Talkback” on July 14 and August 11. All discussions will be moderated by Duncan Stewart, the casting director for the Tony-winning revival of Kander and Ebb’s Chicago, and the “Talkback Tuesdays” segment will “provide theatergoers with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of Chicago.”
