Grammy Award-winning R&B star Brandy (Norwood) is set to return to the Broadway production of Kander & Ebb's musical Chicago for a special 17-performance engagement from August 17 to 31, 2017.

She previously made her Broadway debut in the musical for a limited 8-week engagement from April 28 to June 21, 2015.

Brandy has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. She has released 6 studio albums and her record "The Boy Is Mine" (with Monica) is the longest running number-one song and best-selling duet of all time, earning her a Grammy in 1999.

It has been playing on Broadway since November 14, 1996, and it moved to its current home, the Ambassador Theatre, on the January 29, 2003.

The show features the well known songs, "All That Jazz," "Razzle Dazzle" and "Mr. Cellophane".

The musical features a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, with a book by Bob Fosse & Fred Ebb. The revival production is directed by Walter Bobbie, with choreography by Ann Reinking, scene design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Ken Billington and sound design by Scott Lehrer.
