London
(ANI):
Ashlee
Simpson-Wentz
is
all
set
to
make
her
Broadway
debut
as
she
reprises
the
role
of
Roxie
Hart
in
'Chicago",
it
has
emerged.
According
to
GossipCop.com,
the
25-year-old
singer-turned-actress,
who
played
the
character
in
London's
West
End
in
2006,
will
begin
her
six-week
Broadway
stint
next
month,
reports
the
Daily
Star.
The
news
comes
after
Ashlee
was
axed
from
the
American
TV
show
Melrose
Place
last
month.
An
insider
had
recently
revealed
that
Ashlee
had
made
up
her
mind
to
hang
up
her
mic
and
focus
on
her
acting
career
for
the
sake
of
her
11-month-old
son,
Bronx.
"She's
reading
scripts.
Acting
is
her
focus
now.
If
she
had
an
album,
she'd
have
to
tour
and
be
away
from
Bronx.
She
wants
consistency," Contactmusic
had
quoted
the
source,
as
saying.
