Michelle Williams is Chicago’s new Roxy
New Chicago star Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams (ex-Destiny’s Child) is to make her West End stage debut starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago.
The US singer will appear at London’s Cambridge Theatre from July 13 until August 22.
Michelle first made her name with Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland in Destiny’s Child.
She released a solo album in 2002. She made her stage debut in the title role in the musical Aida on Broadway .
She has also played Shug Avery in the musical of The Color Purple, in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Michelle got very good reviews for her performance in the tour and I think it bodes very well for her time in Chicago.
Here she is at the 2006 Tony’s with the rest of the cast. (BTW doesn’t this sound like a great musical. I’d love to see it come here!)
