Gossip Cop can confirm that Ashlee Simpson will be reprising the role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of “Chicago.”

Simpson, whose character recently wrapped on the TV show “Melrose Place,” starred in “Chicago” in 2006 in London’s West End, where she received good notices.

According to an inside source, Simpson will begin her Broadway run in December and perform for six weeks.

That same insider tells Gossip Cop that Fran and Barry Weissler, the show’s producers, were really pleased with Simpson’s performance in London, and had wanted her for some time to reprise the role.

This will mark Simpson’s Broadway debut.

    Im not a fan of hers, but I heard that she had pretty decent reviews while she did it in London. As long as her sister stays away and doesn’t jinx her, she should be fine.
