Angelica Ross to Star as Roxie Hart on Broadway in ‘Chicago’

Actress and artist Angelica Ross will star as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, making her the first trans-actress to do so.

The official Chicago social handles made the announcement.

Chicago made its debut on Broadway more than 25 years ago and is now the second-longest running show in Broadway history.

Ross has been in entertainment for years, but her success rose while starring as Candy on the Emmy-nominated FX’s “Pose” series.

She’ll grace the Chicago Broadway stage starting Sept. 12.
