The singer, 21, has been offered the role of murderous Roxie Hart in the Broadway and London casts of the musical Chicago, a Simpson source confirms. “She will probably choose London,” says the source, who adds that she would start in October. (Earlier this year, Rita Wilson played the role in New York.) Though Simpson has little experience in musical theater, she has been a backup dancer on her sis Jessica’s tour, and showed off her acting chops for two years with a role on 7th Heaven. A Chicago rep tells Us, “There is no confirmation at this time.”
