This isn't grand—or great for that matter. Rumer Willis has once again delayed her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago. The Dancing with the Stars winner had initially been scheduled to start performances at the Ambassador Theatre on August 18, which was then pushed back to September 14. She posted on Twitter that she will now start her engagement "next week" and that "tonight I have another important place to be." Broadway.com has reached out to the production for comment.
Willis is the winner of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars season 20. She has previously appeared on stage in off-Broadway's Love, Loss and What I Wore, For the Record Live’s Dear John Hughes, Baz Luhrmann’s DBA and FTR: Tarantino. Her numerous screen credits include House Bunny, Sorority Row, Diary of Preston Plummer Workaholics, Pretty Little Liars, Hawaii 5-0 and Songbyrd.
The cast also includes Amra-Faye Wright as Velma Kelly, Ryan Silverman as Billy Flynn, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron "Mama" Morton and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
