K-Pop Star Ivy Making Broadway Debut in Chicago This Summer

South Korean star Ivy is bringing her talents to Broadway this summer. The singer and actress will make her Broadway debut joining the cast of the iconic musical Chicago, taking on the role of Roxie Hart.

The part is familiar territory for Ivy, who has performed as Roxie Hart in South Korean productions of the long-running musical. Her work in the role earned her recognition, including a 2012 Korean Musical Award for Best New Actress. She has revisited the character multiple times since then, with her most recent performance coming just last year.

Ivy's theatrical resume extends well beyond Chicago. She has starred in productions of Wicked, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, Aida, Jekyll & Hyde, Dracula, Rent, and Kiss Me Kate.

Her Broadway run in Chicago begins August 17th and runs through September 6th for a limited three-week engagement. She will follow Krysta Rodriguez, who takes the role starting June 15th.

Following her time on Broadway, Ivy will head to Seoul, where she will perform at the LG Arts Center Theatre beginning Saturday, December 5th.
