US EditionTrump attends Kennedy Center performance of 'Chicago' ahead of planned two-year closure
The audience mixed cheers and boos as the Trumps attended opening night amid a legal fight over the center’s renamed title and planned renovation.
- On Tuesday, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the opening night of "Chicago" at the Kennedy Center, their first joint appearance at the venue since the "Melania" documentary premiere in January.
- Since returning to office in January 2025, the Republican president has exerted significant influence over the venue by ousting previous leadership and installing a handpicked board of trustees that named him chairman.
- Both the name change and an approved two-year closure have triggered ongoing legal proceedings, following a wave of cancellations by performers upset that Trump assumed control of the storied institution.
- "Chicago" runs at the Kennedy Center Opera House through April 5, while the center will award the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor to Bill Maher on June 28.
