USHER TO WOW BROADWAY WITH FANCY FOOTWORK

R+B sensation USHER is struggling to cope with the strict rehearsing schedule for his role in Broadway musical CHICAGO, but vows his hard work will pay off on the night.

The 27-year-old star will be the youngest man ever to play BILLY FLYNN when he steps in to do eight shows a week on the New York City stage.

He explains, "You know, when you're on tour with a concert, you kind of call the shots yourself.

"You can show up late sometimes and you can kind of do your own thing up. Now, with this, that's not exactly the case!"

The show's musical director decided to add a new solo dance sequence during the song RAZZLE DAZZLE to give Usher a chance to show off his new-found moves.

He adds, "I learned to tap dance. I taught myself. In some ways, I don't know exactly what to expect.

"But I'm here for all of it, that's the challenge. If you don't challenge yourself, no one will."
