NEW YORK -- Thursday was Teachers' Night on Broadway.
Five hundred New York City Public School teachers were treated to a free performance of "Chicago."

"What's so particularly special about tonight is that these teachers introduce arts, theater and the magic of Broadway to these students," Broadway League President Charlotte St. Martin said.
