'DWTS' Champ Rumer Willis Beats Dad Bruce In Making Broadway Debut

Rumer Willis, 26, recently conquered Season 20 of "Dancing With The Stars" much to the delight of her followers. Being the daughter of equally famous and talented parents, she has found her own niche in the business. 

A report from The Denver Post detailed that producers of the hit musical "Chicag,o" which has been running in Broadway for a long length of time, announced on Thursday that Rumer Willis, after her stint with "DWTS," will make her debut as Roxie Hart in August.

"Chicago" is a scorching satire set in the 1920s that depicts how the media and show business transform criminals into celebrities. Its choreography was inspired by Bob Fosse, and shows a lot of skin-baring outfits and killer tracks such as the very popular "All That Jazz," "Mr. Cellophane" and "Cell Block Tango."

"DWTS" winner Rumer Willis will take over the reigns from singer Brandy, who currently stars in a musical at New York's Ambassador Theatre. The musical, which was also adapted into the big screen won an Oscar after starring the beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones and talented Renee Zellweger, who both wowed the viewers with their singing skills. Willis will be seen in the show from August 18 until October 11 this year, as per Contactmusic.com.

The daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, Rumer Willis delivered stunning performances in "Dancing With The Stars," which showed the immense talent she inherited from her parents. She has also appeared onstage in "Love, Loss and What I Wore" opposite comedy actress Anne Meara, and has starred with mom Demi in "Striptease" and "Now and Then," and dad Bruce in "Hostage." She has played her parents' daughter in the said films.

Coincidentally, according to Fox News, Bruce Willis will also star in a stage adaptation of a novel by horror master Stephen King called "Misery", which will begin its run at the Broadhurst Theatre on Oct. 22. The "Die Hard" actor will star opposite Laurie Metcalf.

This time around, the tables have turned as Rumer Willis, the "DWTS" victor, triumphs over dad Bruce after beating the latter in the race of debuting in Broadway.
