Meet-and-greet with cast of Chicago at the Forum Theatre
BINGHAMTON, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – The longest running show on Broadway is returning to the Forum Theater, and there's a special offer for opening night only.
Broadway in Binghamton is bringing Chicago to the Broome County Forum Theatre, opening on Monday, May 5th.
Chicago is a six time Tony Award winning, Grammy winning musical about fame, fortune, and scandal during the roaring 20's.
There's a gala fundraiser on opening night, through the Friends of the Forum Theatre, including a pre-show cocktail party at SUNY Broome's Culinary and Event Center, choice seating for the show, and a post-show dessert reception and meet and greet with the cast of the show.
Board member Ron Sall says the fundraiser supports fixes and upgrades to the Forum.
'We offer quality. It's American Food and Vending doing the food. The service is tremendous, their menu is off the charts. We have a lot of fun. We'll have some music during the gala. And then after, the eyes popping out of the young kids that come to see the stars of the show. It's wonderful interaction,' says Sall.
The 'All That Jazz Gala' cocktail party runs from 5 to 7 p.m. and Chicago starts at 7:30.
Followed by the reception and meet and greet.
Tickets to the gala are $150 per person.

Metallica's Smash Brings The Band To A Milestone For The First Time
Metallica's catalog is filled with the kind of rock smashes any band would be lucky to claim. The Grammy-winning group has produced more hits than most acts could ever dream of – especially in the hard rock space – but when it comes to pure purchases by American listeners, one title stands out above the rest. 'Enter Sandman' is a bestseller yet again in the United States. The track currently appears on a trio of Billboard rankings dedicated purely to sales, and this frame is especially notable for the tune. Metallica's timeless cut lifts one spot on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, earning its one-hundredth stay on the list of the bestselling rock-only tracks in the country. The track is so massively popular that it has spent more time on the tally than Metallica's other 13 charting successes combined. The group's second-longest running entry is 'Master of Puppets,' which so far has managed just seven appearances on the list. While 'Enter Sandman' is easily Metallica's longest-charting release on the Rock Digital Song Sales roster, it doesn't stand as the band's highest-peaking. Both 'Master of Puppets' and 'Lux Æterna' peaked at No. 2 in 2022. 'Enter Sandman,' meanwhile, stalled at No. 3 in 2021 and has yet to surge any higher. Metallica is one of just three acts on the 15-spot Rock Digital Song Sales chart at the moment that claims a more-than-100-week winner. 'Enter Sandman' joins 'The Sound of Silence' by Disturbed (329 weeks) and 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC, which this frame reaches 520 turns — exactly a decade — on the list. 'Enter Sandman' may be rising slightly on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, but that's actually the American tally where it performs the worst. It appears at No. 3 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs roster, and the tune also dips slightly to No. 5 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales list.
