According to Thomas Calabro of "Melrose Place" Twitter:

FYI - no bad blood AT ALL between AS and rest of cast! AS is heading to NY to star in Chicago on Broadway and we are all happy for her!

Personally,(If true) I am excited. Ive always been a fan of Ashlee Simpson, So it should be interesting.

She seemed to get a warm reception in London, so why not?

I've also always been a fan.

Cheryl Burke is rumored to be joining as Roxie too.

I read this in Us Weekly yesterday and couldn't believe there hadn't been anything on here about it yet.

At least she's a trained dancer.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

This seems like it would have brought in a lot more publicity if they'd done it like 4 years ago when people still cared about the whereabouts of Ashlee Simpson.

She has failed miserably with music and acting. Hopefully she doesn't fail with this as well.

I think she's cute. Kind of talentless, but I guess it could be worse.

I saw her in London and thought she was fine with the dancing but her singing was extremely weak. It's been a few years, so perhaps she's improved, but I definitely wouldn't shell out money to see her as Roxie again.
