Cheryl Burke Starring In Chicago?!
Filed under: Broadway Babies
Guess the Great White Way is no longer discriminating!
Dancing with the Stars' Cheryl Burke is in negotiations to star as Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago.
And supposedly she can sing!
"People don't see her as a singer," said a source, "but she trained for her audition with one of the top vocal coaches in L.A."
She could probably do it once, but eight shows a week?!
But, it's not about that anyway!
"She's excited about the prospect of spending the holidays in New York," continued the source. "That's where her boyfriend [model Maxwell Zagorski] is based."
Cue reached for the gun!

WHO?
Ok…
Oh come on Perez! If Renee Zellweger's no talent-ass can play Roxie, than I'm sure Cheryl could do a pretty good job at it. Oh, and Samantha Harris did it too. Chicago is known for bringing in "celebrities" and are not necessarily concerned with the best talent.
her face doesn't match her body….. two different colours.
she's a fat drunk!!! I feel sorry for chicago…
she should be careful showing up in public so often. that cow is gonna want it's face back now that cheryl is…"famous"?
Cheryl is my favorite dancer. She is so graceful and such a joy to watch dance. Also she never acted like a damn fool once she became famous.
Re: WinonaJohnson – you = crazy.
She needs to lose some weight.

Are they gonna include a number where Roxie services, say, Nick Lachey's brother in this revival?
