A resident of New York City, Samantha Levine works with schools and educational administrators to improve learning outcomes for students. During her free time, Samantha Levine pursues a diverse range of hobbies, which include visiting art museums and attending Broadway shows. Among others, she lists Chicago as one of her favorite Broadway musicals.
Chicago debuted in 1975 and featured the songs of legendary musical duo John Kander and Fred Ebb. The musical's original run was moderately successful, eventually closing after nearly 1,000 performances.
In 1996, however, a revival of the show took Broadway by storm. Premiering at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in November of 1996, the Chicago revival won a staggering six awards at the 1997 Tony Awards. The production has since gone on to become the longest-running Broadway musical in history, with runs in New York, Chicago, Washington DC, London, and many other cities around the world.
In March of 2018, the Broadway world honored John Kander on his 90th birthday. Broadway stars gathered at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on March 21 to celebrate the legendary composer who, in addition to Chicago, provided the music for other classics, such as Cabaret and Kiss of the Spiderwoman. The celebrants included Tony-award winners Karen Ziemba and Lillias White, as well as other well-known Broadway figures, such as Lucia Spina and David Sabella.
