'DWTS' Host Harris Set to 'Razzle Dazzle' as 'Roxie' in CHICAGO

Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris revealed on the final performance show tonight that she will be joining the Broadway production of the long running hit musical 'CHICAGO' this summer in the role of 'Roxie Hart'. Harris announced she'd be performing during July and August, there has been no official confirmation of her appearing at this time from the production.

Last week Harris explained to The New York Daily News that she grew up around live entertainment. Her father was a rock concert promoter, and her mother a dancer. Together they created one of the country's first Renaissance festivals. "I always had Broadway in my heart," she says. "I do have a dream of the Broadway stage." It looks like her dream will be coming true this summer!
