Ashlee Simpson-Wentz set for B’way’s ‘Chicago’
NEW YORK — Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is ready to show some razzle-dazzle on Broadway.
The pop singer who was recently booted from “Melrose Place,” is set to play Roxie Hart in the long-running musical revival of “Chicago.”
Producer Barry Weissler says Simpson-Wentz will join the production on Nov. 30 for a 10-week engagement ending in early February. The performer played Roxie in the London production of “Chicago” in 2006.
Among her best-selling singles are such songs as “Pieces of Me,” ”Boyfriend” and “L.O.V.E.” She is married to musician Pete Wentz.
