Roxie Hart must be the most popular character ever. Past Roxie's include Renee Zellweger in the movie and Brooke Shields, Rita Wilson, and Melanie Griffith on Broadway. We reported the rumors that Ashlee was going to be the latest Hollywood celeb to take the stage in the West End production of Chicago. Now it is official that Ash will kick off her 6 week stint on September 25th.

They need to fire whoever was in charge of casting
1There goes the West End.
2she has a great voice
3ha seriously? i wonder who's track theyre gonna have her lip sinc to
4hmmm... at first I was shocked and dismayed... now I am starting to accept it... and acceptance is the first step...
5How can she lip sync her way through this one? WOW Papa Simpson really dropped Jessica.. is that why he has Ashley looking like her? Something is off with that family
6but she can't sing!!!! how do you get hired to do a live musical if you can't sing?????????????????
and at first i thought those were pics of chestica......**shutters**.........
7What the....???? why ????
8plus, isnt she more the real age of Roxie, all those are biznitches are too old to play a young wannabee broadway gal... this casting is odd, but I can dig it
9If any of you go to see it please let me know how badly she sucks.
I agree babsee...the prerequisite for this role must have been that must be able to sing.
*confused*
10Wow, Ashlee Simpson, is that you?
11What a nice slap in the face to all the talented actresses out there who can actually hold a tune. This is really pathetic.
JK if I go see Chicago it sure as hell will NOT be when she is there
12she looks just like jessica!
13she always looks like somebody else!
14she must have some huge Jessica issues....I can imagine her dad saying "if you look more like Jessica your career will really take off" hence the nose job....next will the infamous "knee operation" aka the boob job.
15HAHA-- no boob job for her-- dont you remember she said she had better boobs then jessica? Probably Pimp Daddy has told her since she got her first bra-- aww honey your boobs are better then your sister! PERVERT! Why am i not surprised these two are as messed up as a Jackson!
16this all makes me wish Britney was the new roxie hart...
17she does not have a great voice. Far from it. She doesn't even have the raw talent Jessica has.
18What?? Room spinning...head hurts.... eyes must be reading wrong.
1)SHE CAN'T SING!
192) Live stage acting is so much harder that acting in front of a camera. It's very real and not everyone can do it and I don't beilieve Ashlee can.
this is a really bad idea. there is nothing more to say...
20I hope her acid reflux doesn't act up and she can't sing. I mean the cd doesn't skip and she messes up.
21This really sickens me! I can't believe the theatre community would cheapen their productions by adding Ashlee simply to get people (the rich little teeny boppers) to come see the show. What a bunch o sellouts! If I was the rest of the cast I'd quit.
22I have friends and family that are Broadway actors and they work hard to perfect their craft and in two seconds it's been crapped on by Joe Pimpson.
lol!
23Can I make my birthday wish early?
(closing eyes thinking hard)
Dear Birthday Wish Fairy,
Please make all the people that already have their tickets for this show storm the box office demanding tickets for nights when she isn't performing
*blow*
24Are her boobs real too...god she looks so different now!
25i think ashlee has a nice voice actually. and i think she will do a nice job playing roxie. you ppl are harsh
26atleast we know pimpdaddy's dream woman looks like jessica...
27surely thats not true...
28Haaa haaa!! I like Ashley. She is a cute young and vibrant girl who is thoughtful, kind and softhearted- it's too bad people think of her sister when they see her. Two different people COMPLETELY.
29Another opportunity for the British public to say: Americans suck. Oh well.
30the truth can be harsh sometimes...it's the way of the world
31Ugh. I didn't even know that was Ashlee!! That's so sad. She can't sing, don't we all know that already?
32Isn't there some aspring mid-Westerner out there with REAL talent that dreams should come true? Seriously, I'm over the whole Simpson family. I can't wait for Jamie Lynn to start...
If she was on Broadway, I'd definitely go see her. There is nothing wrong with her. She is beautiful, smart and talanted. Bashers are just bashing because they hate Jessica and the father .... Common, give her a break.
33It's the way of your world and a small ignorant mind. LOL !!!
34And you'll be bashing Jaime-Lyn also, because that's what your type does ... bash, bash bash ...
35I think she's better than her sister, but being Roxie Hart is too much for her.
36woah easy! speaking only for myself i only "bashed" her bc she lacks talent. it doesnt make sense that i would bash her bc i don't like jessica, bc I do like jessica. she is my girl crush! haha
37I'm having too good for a day for that kind of mess, ImCurly.
38It is ironic that my type of people bash, yet it's written under a comment calling someone else ignorant with a small mind.
39LOL !!! Whatever they are and however we all feel, they are rolling in the cash .... They see GREEN everywhere !
40It is ironic that my type of people bash, yet it's written under a comment calling someone else ignorant with a small mind.
41ImCurly.. I think that in actuallity people don't like her because she is a hypocrite poser and on top of that just happens to have Jess as a sister and a pimp as a father. She lost a lot of fans with the whole "I'm different.. I love my looks.. I love being me" message to then go and get plastic surgery. And the SNL thing and the football performance thing and the kiss my feet and don't you know who I am thing. But other than that.. she's a peach!!
42LOL peep
ARRRGGHH!
43LOL ima! i second that!
44and a lot of people see green.. even people who are not admirable.. William Hung made some green but I wouldn't call him talented. Milli Vanilli made some green.. whats your point?
The point is you are a fan of hers and thas cool, but don't expect everyone to she her through your rose colored glasses.
45She looks like Jessica in the first and Brittany Murphy in the second.
46REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD CURLY! Leave it at the bus stop chica...
I could careless about her father. She has no talent. I call it like I see it. She is pathetic wannabe. I don't need to repeat what Imabeliever said but let it be known that I feel the same way.
And BTW, I like Jaime-Lynn. I watch her Nickelodeon show.
47omg, i would never go see something with her in it. who is their audience, seriously. and look at the others that played this part, rita wilson?? not to be mean, but this part calls for a little somethin-somethin and i don't see that in rita. maybe this is why i'm not a casting agent, lol.
48TESTING TESTING TESTING!
49In honesty, I could give a rat's dirty a$$ about any of these people, they are great entertainment- like Soap Operas with their up and down pathetic lives and all the money they make while others suffer- it's criminal. But again, they are purely entertainment and nothing more. Like the circus.
