Kelly Osbourne sure is determined to play Roxie Hart in Broadway's Chicago. And, she is letting everyone know it. During a live broadcast of Dancing With The Stars on Monday, on which Osborne is currently competing, the reality star openly expressed her interest in the role several times.
Said Osbourne, "I auditioned for the lead role in Chicago on Broadway and got it...but because I couldn't dance, they gave me a different role. It's kind of been a big regret of mine that I never got to play that role because I couldn't dance." After an impressive showing in her dance routine with partner Louis van Amstel she exclaimed once again, "Losing the lead in Chicago was one of my biggest regrets, but I'm poised to prove I can do it."
Osbourne did have a run in the West End's production of Chicago in September 2007 as Matron "Mama" Morton.
Perhaps her DWTS stint is, in part, self-imposed dancing boot camp for a future Chicago audition. Still, the star has a ways to go, telling MTV.com, "I thought with each week it would get easier, but it doesn't.'
