"Getting to Broadway was something I had imagined, but it seemed impossible, and now that it is coming true in Chicago, which is such an iconic show, is something that fills me with great excitement," said Yatra in an earlier statement. "I remember many years ago when I went to see Evita on Broadway, and Ricky Martin was starring in it. It blew my mind to see a Latino on Broadway, also performing in English. This is a commitment that requires a lot of discipline, and I can't wait to learn a lot from the cast and crew."

The musical transferred to the Shubert Theatre, and played that house through January 26, 2003. The revival reopened at the Ambassador Theatre January 29 that year.

Currently celebrating its 28th year on Broadway, Chicago has also hit many milestones this past year, including 35,000 performances worldwide. Chicago has played in 38 countries including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, Brazil, Sweden, Argentina, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Italy, Denmark, Holland, Spain, France, South Korea, and more, in over 525 cities, and seen by more than 34 million people worldwide.
