Bianca Marroquín has played Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly on Broadway for 4,000 performances. Tonight, she plays Roxie.

Marroquín first performed the role of Roxie in a Spanish-language production in Mexico City in 2002.

Latin Grammy winner Sebastián Yatra plays Billy Flynn.

Yatra was just a couple of days away from performing "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Kimberly Marable, who plays Velma Kelly, goes by another name backstage...

She is the Pineapple Princess! (The moniker is inspired by a pineapple onesie she sometimes wears.)

Red Concepción and R. Lowe bonding behind the scenes

R. Lowe shows off some art of furry friends, gifted to the Broadway legend by fans.

Jeff Gorti is all smiles before playing the Judge and Doctor.

"And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times!" Celina Nightengale plays June.

Marroquín and Oei share a moment.

"You pop that gum one more time..." Mikayla Renfrow plays Liz.

Jermaine R. Rembert and Kimberly Marable, on opposite sides of the law on stage, get along like a house on fire behind the scenes.
