Van Outen takes to Broadway stage

Denise Van Outen is making her Broadway debut as the curtain goes up for the first time on her New York production of Chicago.

The former Big Breakfast host has taken her starring role as Roxie Hart in the musical from the West End’s Adelphi theatre to New York’s Schubert Theatre.

She will join an all-US cast and has already seen her face appear on a billboard in New York’s Times Square.
