Ugly Betty Goes Foxy Roxie

America Ferrera, who plays the downrodden, fashion-afflicted role takes to the London stage early next month playing "foxy" Roxie Hart in the Lawrence Olivier Award winning musical Chicago when it reopens at the Garrick Theatre on 7 November 2011

The 27 year old actress makes her West End debut in Chicago and will star opposite Amra-Faye Wright as tough nut Velma Kelly, a role she is currently playing on Broadway (and previously at the Cambridge Theatre. I've seen her - she''s very very good!).

The two stars will help celebrate the start of Chicago's 15th year in London on its anniversary on 18 November and Ferrera will be in the show for 8 weeks from 7 November.

Kander and Ebb's 1975 musical is based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins and has a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb.

Even after all these years the show has still got IT!
