Nicole Richie has been offered the lead role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago, Us Weekly reports exclusively in its latest issue, on newsstands now.
Richie, 26, who welcomed daughter Harlow with Joel Madden on Jan. 12, is undecided.
"She's definitely interested and weighing it out with the timing of the baby," a Richie pal tells Us. "It is in the super early stages of discussions and no decision has been made yet."
"It would give her a reason to really show her talent and to stay in the new place in NY Joel just got," the source says. "It also shows people are really excited about Nicole right now."
Whatever Richie's decision, this year will be big for the new mom. "She is also weighing some other amazing offers but 2008 is going to be really exciting for her," the source says. "She just working it all out and keeping Harlow in mind with everything she does, of course!"
"You have to be able to act, dance and sing," Robert Viagas, founder of Playbill.com tells Us. "And if you're able to pull off all three, the entertainment world notices."
