On Nov. 23, 2014 at 7PM, the long-running, Tony-winning revival of Chicago played its 7,486th performance, surpassing Cats to become the second longest-running show in Broadway history.

At that celebratory performance, the production welcomed back its four original stars: Tony Award winners Ann Reinking, Bebe Neuwirth, James Naughton and Joel Grey. Each made a cameo appearance during different points of the performance. All were greeted with a tremendous amount of applause.
