Aren’t they grand? Aren’t they great?! Grammy-winning Sugarland star Jennifer Nettles and Broadway alum Carly Hughes join the cast of Chicago on the Great White Way as Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly beginning February 2. They take over for Charlotte d’Amboise and Amra-Faye Wright at the Ambassador Theatre.

Nettles, along with Kristian Bush and Kristen Hall, formed the band Sugarland in 2003 and were nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy Award in 2006. She and Bush two took home two Grammys in 2009 for their single, “Stay.” Nettles also received a Grammy for her collaboration with Bon Jovi. Earlier this year, she released her first solo album, That Girl. Chicago marks her Broadway debut, but she's already an expert Broadway.com vlogger.

Hughes’ Broadway credits include Pippin, Beautiful, Ghost, The Book of Mormon, Ragtime, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Nettles and Hughes will appear in Chicago through March 29. The current cast of Broadway's second longest-running show also includes Alexander Gemignani as Billy Flynn, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron “Mama” Morton and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
