Reece Weaver, a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders member and star of the Netflix series America’s Sweethearts, is set for a Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the Chicago revival. Her limited six-week engagement runs from September 7 to October 18 at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City. Weaver has spoken about her excitement to perform on Broadway and the team-like experience of creating on stage, joining a production that is one of Broadway’s longest-running revivals. The Chicago revival opened in 1996 and marked its 30th anniversary this year, with a history of high-profile performers layered into its legacy. Weaver’s transition to Broadway follows her retirement from the DCC in 2025, a move she described as a natural next chapter in her dance career. The role of Roxie Hart has been portrayed by a long list of iconic actresses, underscoring the significance of this milestone for Weaver.
