We'll tell you what we want, what we really, really want! We told you "Scary Spice" is heading to the Great White Way; it has now been confirmed that Mel B is set to take on the role of the lady raking in the chips, Chicago's Roxie Hart. Fresh face Veronica Dunne is currently playing Roxie through November 27. The America’s Got Talent judge will begin performances on December 28 and remain at the Ambassador Theatre through February 19.

A chart-topping music artist, actress, author, TV host and entrepreneur, Mel B is currently starring on hit TV shows on three different continents (talk about a Spiceworld). In the U.S., she is a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent; she also hosts Lip Sync Battle U.K. and is a guest judge on Australia's The X Factor. She made her Broadway debut in Rent in 2004, when she played Mimi.
