Nicole Richie to Star in 'Chicago' on Broadway

BROADWAY BOUND

Nicole Richie may be ready to reveal her singing and acting chops in the lead role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical, Chicago.

“She’s definitely interested and weighing it out with the timing of the baby,” a Richie pal tells Us Weekly. “It is in the super early stages of discussions and no decision has been made yet. It would give her a reason to really show her talent and to stay in the new place in NY [boyfriend Joel Madden] just got. It also shows people are really excited about Nicole right now.”

Richie, 26, welcomed daughter Harlow on Jan. 12.
