Supermodel, author, and entrepreneur Ashley Graham, a champion of body positivity, will make her Broadway debut in the record-breaking revival of Chicago next month.

Graham, one of the first curve models to appear on a Vogue cover, will step into the role of merry murderess Roxie Hart beginning April 15 at the Ambassador Theatre for a limited engagement through May 25.

“I’m honored to make my Broadway debut as the iconic Roxie Hart. I’m deeply grateful to be able to embrace this new challenge and excited to share the stage with this incredible company,” stated Graham, who was the first curve model featured on Sports Illustrated Swim and among the first group of curve models to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Runway Show.

Graham has also inspired audiences with her TEDx talk, which has been viewed over 4.3 million times. She has hosted Roku’s Side Hustlers and HGTV’s Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge. Graham's memoir is titled A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like.

The current cast of Chicago features Sophie Carmen-Jones as Velma Kelly, Dylis Croman as Roxie Hart, Rema Webb as Matron "Mama" Morton, Max von Essen as Billy Flynn, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.

The revival of Chicago began life as one of the three annual Encores! presentations offered by City Center. The musical opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in November 14, 1996, where it remained through February 1997. The musical transferred to the Shubert Theatre, and played that house through January 26, 2003. The revival reopened at the Ambassador Theatre January 29 that year.

Currently celebrating its 28th year on Broadway, Chicago has also recently hit many other milestones, including 35,000 performances worldwide. Chicago has played in 38 countries including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, Brazil, Sweden, Argentina, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Italy, Denmark, Holland, Spain, France, South Korea, and more, in over 525 cities, and seen by more than 34 million people worldwide.
