John O’Hurley is Back as Broadway's Prince of the Courtroom, Will Start Performances in Chicago Next Week

John O'Hurley will return to razzle-dazzle Broadway in Chicago on December 8. He will play a limited six-week holiday engagement as Billy Flynn at the Ambassador Theatre through January 18, 2015, after which he'll re-join the National Touring company of the Kander & Ebb tuner, beginning January 20. O'Hurley takes over from Pasquale Aleardi, who concludes his Great White Way debut engagement on December 7.

O'Hurley first appeared on Broadway as Billy Flynn in 2006 and has reprised that role with both the Great White Way and National Touring companies of Chicago several times since then. His other stage credits include Pirates of Penzance, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Brigadoon and Spamalot. O’Hurley is probably best known as J. Peterman on Seinfeld; other TV credits include Dancing with the Stars, Family Feud, Sponge Bob Squarepants and Father of the Pride.

Chicago also currently stars Amy Spanger as Roxie Hart, Amra-Faye Wright as Velma Kelly, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron "Mama" Morton and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
