Michelle Williams is now confirmed as Roxie Hart through to Saturday 12 September 2009. She began her CHICAGO run 13 July. 

Michelle Williams, the Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, record producer and actress, rose to fame as one third of Destiny's Child. Destiny's Child, comprising Michelle Williams, Beyoncé Knowles and Kelly Rowland, is the top selling female group of all time.

Following the release of her own chart topping debut album in 2002 Michelle Williams then went on to make her stage debut in the title role of "Aida," the hit Broadway musical with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice. She subsequently then went on to star in the award-winning musical "The Color Purple" in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

It was also announced that Tiffany Graves will continue her role as Velma until 12 September and Ian Kelsey will play his role as Billy Flynn from 24 August to 25 October.
