*R&B singer Mya will make her Broadway debut this spring in the long-running revival of "Chicago," producers announced.

      The artist will bring her vocal talents to the role of Velma Kelly, the cohort of Roxie Hart, played currently by stage veteran Bianca Marroquin.

       "It's something I always wanted to do; sing, dance, act and tell a story," Mya said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. "It's probably the ultimate complete dream for me."       

       The singer is currently doing lots of cardio, muscle strengthening, stretching and vitamin popping to make sure she'll be ready when rehearsals begin in April.      

       "I have gone through all the material with the show's musical director and everything is suited for my key," she said. "We don't have to do any transposing. It's perfect."      

       Mya, who also had a small role in the 2002 film adaptation of "Chicago," says she has seen the stage show more than a half-dozen times in the last couple of years.       

       Her nine week Broadway run at the Ambassador Theatre begins May 12 and ends July 13.
