Sister Jessica Simpson is thrilled and Ashlee Simpson Wentz has confirmed reports she will appear in the Broadway show Chicago. The 25-year-old previously appeared on London's West End as Roxie Hart and following the end of her stint on revived show Melrose Place, she will be heading to Broadway to play Roxie once again.

Ashlee will start her run as Roxie at New York's theatre district on November 30. She said: "I'm honored to be reprising my role as Chicago's Roxie Hart, returning to the stage and joining this amazing cast. "Being on Broadway is a childhood dream come true."

Jessica Simpson said she's getting 'chillbumps' thinking about her little sister Ashlee performing on Broadway. The 29-year-old actress recently supported her little sister Ashlee, 25, when she was fired from show Melrose Place and wrote on Twitter that the show was 'cr*p'.
Ashlee has since landed the role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway play Chicago after first playing the role on London's West End in 2006. Ashlee recently wrote on Twitter: "Just finished second CHICAGO rehearsal. Man I love the theater and putting my dancing shoes back on!"
Her sister Jessica later put on Twitter: "I can't wait to watch @ashsimpsonwentz on broadway in all of her glory!!! I get chillbumps from toes to noggin thinking about it!!! YAY!!!!"
