Ashlee Simpson-Wentz will reportedly reprise her role as Roxie Hart in the Broadway show of Chicago, following the cancellation of her role in Melrose Place.
The 25-year-old actress played the role of Violet Foster in the remake of 90s series Melrose Place, but she was let go from the show and her last scenes will be shown in January next year.
Simpson previously starred as Roxie on the West End in London in 2006 and received rave reviews.
It has now been claimed that she will begin a Broadway run in December where she will perform for six weeks.
An insider said that the show’s producers, Fran and Barry Weissler, were pleased with her London performances and wanted her to reprise the role.
