America Ferrera to headline 'Chicago' in London
LONDON - October 31, 2011
The American actress embarks on an eight-week stint at the
Garrick Theatre beginning Nov. 7.
At a press conference Monday, the former TV star says performing
on the London stage is something she's "dreamed" about since
childhood. And the glamorous Roxie is a far cry from TV's Betty,
which required Ferrera to wear dental braces and fake thick
eyebrows.
The 27-year-old Ferrera joins a long list of U.S. celebrities -
including model Christie Brinkley - who have played Roxie in
London.
Starring opposite Ferrera will be actress and dancer Amra-Faye
Wright, who plays fellow femme fatale Velma Kelly.
