Exciting News from Broadway! Alyssa Milano, known for her roles in “Who’s the Boss?” and “Charmed,” is set to dazzle audiences with her Broadway debut in the musical “Chicago” this fall. Stepping into the iconic role of Roxie Hart at the Ambassador Theatre, Milano’s eight-week engagement from September 16 to November 10 promises to be a must-see event.
Milano’s return to the stage is a homecoming of sorts, tracing back to her early days in a touring company of “Annie.” With a successful career in film and television, Milano’s children now settled and her husband supportive, the timing felt just right for this new chapter.
With “Chicago” set in the 1920s, Milano embraces the challenge of honoring the iconic role of Roxie Hart. Paying tribute to Ann Reinking’s choreography and portrayal of the character, Milano aims to add her unique flair while respecting the show’s rich history.
