Broadway’s “Chicago” will host a post-show talkback with star Reece Weaver and New York City Ballet (NYCB) principal dancer Tiler Peck on Oct. 13. All audience members attending that performance are invited to stay for the conversation after the evening curtain call.
Weaver is a former member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC), having joined the squad in 2023. She remained with the team for three seasons, coming to national prominence through her appearance in the Netflix docuseries “America’s Sweethearts.” Weaver made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” on Sept. 7. She has since extended her run and is set to remain in the show through Nov. 1.
Peck is best known as a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, having joined the company in 2005 and been promoted to principal dancer in 2009. She made her Broadway debut at the age of 11 as a replacement for Gracie in the 2000 revival of “The Music Man.” Years later, Peck appeared as Ivy in the 2015 Tony Award-nominated revival of “On the Town.” In addition to her role as principal dancer, Peck serves as a choreographic associate for NYCB. She is also set to lead the West End premiere of the new musical “Little Dancer,” which will open at London’s Theatre Royal Haymarket on Feb. 15, 2027.
The Tony-winning revival of “Chicago” will celebrate its 30th anniversary this November, continuing its run as the second-longest-running show in Broadway history. Alongside Weaver, the musical currently stars Lissa deGuzman as Velma Kelly, Max von Essen as Billy Flynn and NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron “Mama” Morton. “Chicago” is produced on Broadway by Barry and Fran Weissler.
