Brinkley to star in London’s Chicago?

The former wife of Billy Joel has received warm reviews as Roxie Hart in Chicago and now she’s set to spend the summer (11) in London playing the singing-and-dancing murderess.

According to Showbiz411.com, Brinkley and co-star Amra-Faye Wright will star in the West End’s Chicago for a limited engagement from next month (Jul11).

She’s not the only big U.S. name to have graced the London stage as Hart – singer Ashlee Simpson played the part in 2006 and 2007.

And on Broadway, the killer with dreams of fame has been played by Brooke Shields, Marilu Henner and Melanie Griffith.
