Former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Reece Weaver has extended her run as Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical Chicago. Weaver will now continue in the lead role at the Ambassador Theatre through Sunday, November 1.
Weaver joined the cast following her appearance in the Netflix docuseries America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. A graduate with a degree in dance from the University of Alabama, the Florida native spent three seasons with the cheerleading squad before making her Broadway debut.
The production, which holds the record as the longest-running American musical in Broadway history, features music by John Kander and a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse. Directed by Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Ann Reinking, the show originally won six Tony Awards in 1997, including Best Musical Revival.
The current cast stars Weaver alongside Lissa deGuzman as Velma Kelly, Max von Essen as Billy Flynn, Natasha Yvette Williams as Matron “Mama” Morton, Red Concepción as Amos Hart, and J. Workman as Mary Sunshine. The story follows Roxie Hart, a 1920s nightclub dancer who hires a defense lawyer to manipulate media coverage after killing her lover.
Performances are scheduled weekly on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 7 p.m., Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets remain available at the Ambassador Theatre box office and online.
