DioGuardi to replace Brinkley on Broadway
Songwriter KARA DIOGUARDI is set to replace CHRISTIE BRINKLEY on Broadway when the model's run in musical CHICAGO comes to a close.
The former American Idol judge will make her theatrical debut as murderess Roxie Hart in the Award-winning musical. She will begin her eight-week run on 5 September (11).
DioGuardi is the latest celebrity to join the Big Apple cast - singer Ashlee Simpson and actresses Brooke Shields and Melanie Griffith have all taken the stage as Hart.
Meanwhile, Brinkley is in talks to head overseas with the role - and take the lead in the West End production of Chicago.
