Actress Rumer Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, met the press on September 19 in anticipation of her upcoming Broadway debut in Chicago. Willis' six-week engagement begins September 21 and continues through November 1 at the Ambassador Theatre.
Featuring classic tunes by John Kander and Fred Ebb, Chicago tells the story of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media, and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her crime into a barrage of sensational headlines.
The company currently includes Dylis Croman as Roxie Hart, Amra-Faye Wright as Velma Kelly, Ryan Silverman as Billy Flynn, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, NaTasha Yvette Williams as Matron "Mama" Morton, and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
