The heavens are looking out for all the Brandy Norwood, aka B-Rocka, fans, or “Starz” as she likes to call them. We’ve heard it over and over again, “I wish she was going to be in the show longer so I can see her!” Now, your wish has been granted. The Grammy Award winning star has extended her run in Chicago as Roxie Hart. She will now appear in the Broadway musical until August 2nd.
The R&B/Pop star was previously set to end her run at Ambassador Theatre on June 21. However, she’s sticking around for a little while longer because she’s just that good and the people want to see her! Just be mindful not to schedule your tickets for certain dates if you want to see her. Norwood will not be performing in the musical on June 22, June 23, June 27 or June 28.
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicagos slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.
