Ashlee Simpson-Wentz back in Chicago

 

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is to star in the Broadway production of 'Chicago'.

Ashlee starts her run on November 30 and admits she can't wait to tread the boards once again.

She said: "I'm honoured to be reprising my role as Roxie Hart, returning to the stage and joining this amazing cast. Being on Broadway is a childhood dream come true."

Big sister Jessica, 29, is thrilled Ashlee has landed the part after her disappointment of being axed from US TV series 'Melrose Place' last month.

Jessica wrote on her Twitter page: "I can't wait to watch Ash' on Broadway in all of her glory!!! I get chillbumps from toes to noggin thinking about it!!! YAY!!!! (sic)"
