Good Luck To Ya, Brandy! Grammy Winner Brandy Norwood Will Rake in the Chips in Broadway's Chicago

The boy is Roxie's! Grammy Award winner Brandy Norwood (or, Brandy, mononymously) will step into the Broadway revival of Chicago as Roxie Hart. The pop/R&B star will begin performances at the Ambassador Theatre on April 28, playing an eight-week engagement through June 21.

Another Grammy winner—Jennifer Nettles—plays her final performance as Roxie on March 29. Norwood will join a cast that includes Amra-Faye Wright (who takes over for Carly Hughes on March 30) as Velma, John Dossett as Billy Flynn, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron “Mama” Morton and R.
