Anderson will appear in "Chicago" from April 12
to June 5 playing Roxie Hart, which she calls "a dream role."
Roxie is a song-and-dance woman who shoots her lover dead as
easily as most people would swat a fly.
"I think fame for Roxie is freedom," she said in an interview on
Wednesday. "It's not just about being famous, it's about having
freedom and having attention in a loving way, so I can relate to
a lot of the stuff in the show.
"There is a darkness to it," Anderson said. "There's also a
darkness to the media and real life. It's a very interesting
play and it's iconic. It lasts forever because it's a great
story. And there's always something underneath all the glamour
that makes it even more glamorous.
Anderson, 54, discussed how tough it's been to get ready to play
the role.
"It's a lot of hours of dance, hours of voice, hours of scene
work and being on the stage, being in rehearsal halls," Anderson
said. "There's a lot that goes into this. And once you're on
that train, it just keeps on going. There's no way to get off.
"I'm just curious to see what I'm made of," the actress said.
