All that jazz: Rumer Willis has been cast as Roxie Hart for her Broadway debut
The Dancing With The Stars reigning champion will play the 1920's wannabe vaudevillian who is sent to jail after murdering her lover.
She takes over from Moesha star and singer Brandy Norwood.
The role of Roxie has been played by an array of famous faces on stage including Liza Minnelli, Christie Brinkley, Melanie Griffith, Brooke Shields, Ashlee Simpson and Michelle Williams, with the latter three doing so both on Broadway and the West End.
Razzle dazzle: Renee Zellweger played her in the 2002 big screen version, alongside Catherine Zeta Jones and Richard Gere.
Class: That film went on to win the 2003 Best Picture Oscar, the first musical to do so since 1969's Oliver!

The production, which is the longest ever American musical running on Broadway, is based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, who was the Chicago Tribune reporter assigned to cover the real life 1924 trials of accused murderers Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner.
Champions: Rumer, who won the latest season of Dancing With The Stars with partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy, will begin her run on August 18
Go glam in Rumer's curve-clinging khaki dress
Rumer Willis is making a name for herself as quite the socialite.
The actress attended yet another party in the sunshine state, showing off her trim physique in a gathered khaki dress by British label House of CB.
House of CB is loved by the likes of the TOWIE and Geordie Shore cast in the U.K. as well as earning some serious style credentials of late in the U.S.
Fashion heavyweights including Amber Rose, Chrissy Teigen, Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lopez have been lapping up House of CB's signature body hugging shapes, sexy plunge details and figure-enhancing fabrics.
And the best news is that the while these celebs might look a million dollars in their House of CB pieces, the price points are far more down to earth.
Rumer's dress comes in at a reasonable $167, and is yours to buy just by clicking to the right. And the label ships for free worldwide!
Before you make a decision, however, check out our khaki finds below.
It features the famous numbers All That Jazz, Cell Block Tango and Razzle Dazzle, while Rumer herself will be responsible for Funny Honey, Nowadays and Roxie.
This will not be Rumner's first play; she appeared off-Broadway in Love, Loss And What I Wore.
She also starred in a number of For The Record productions - which creates stage productions around the soundtracks of famous filmmakers - including Baz Lurhman, Quentin Tarantino and John Hughes.

Brandy meanwhile has been showing off some of the moves that landed her the role in the first place.
