On August 22, R&B star Usher will make his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning revival of Chicago. He'll play the role of Billy Flynn for six weeks, before wrapping up performances on October 1. Usher released a statement that said, "This is a very exciting time in my career. I have always admired Broadway actors for their showmanship, dedication and focus that goes into performing live on stage every night. Being on Broadway allows you to connect to audiences in a whole new way that's different from music and movies. When they asked me to play Billy Flynn in Chicago, I jumped at the chance to be a part of such an amazing production."
