24/08/2006 - 09:07:50Ashlee Simpson will play murderous Roxie Hart in the stage production of Chicago in October.
The 21-year-old has been offered the role and will join the cast of the show in either London or on the Broadway stage in New York City.
A source close to Simpson tells American publication Us Weekly: "She will probably choose London."
Earlier this year, Rita Wilson stepped into the role in New York.
Although Simpson has little experience in musical theatre, she has been a back-up dancer on her sister Jessica's tour and had a role on US family drama 7th Heaven.
The Pieces Of Me singer has said she wants to focus on her acting career.
