Ana Villafañe, Bianca Marroquín and Lillias White have extended their runs in “Chicago,” producers Barry and Fran Weissler announced Monday.

Villafañe and Marroquín will continue to play Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, respectively, through Jan. 9. White will play her final performance as Matron “Mama” Morton on Dec. 26.

Tom Hewitt, who last month completed a run as Hades in “Hadestown,” has returned to “Chicago” to play Billy Flynn, a role he has played on Broadway several times since 2008. Hewitt takes over the role from Paulo Szot, who played his final performance Nov. 21.

The revival production of “Chicago,” which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, reopened on Sept. 14 at the Ambassador Theatre.
