NEW YORK, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Recording star Deborah Cox will make her Broadway debut in the title role of Elton John and Tim Rice's musical, "Aida," later this month.
Discovered by famed music producer Clive Davis, Cox earned her place in music history when her single "Nobody's Supposed to be Here" went double platinum. With eight No. 1 Billboard Club records during the course of her career, Cox most recently held the top spot on the charts for her remake of Phil Collins' "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven."
Starting Feb. 17, Cox will co-star in "Aida" with Micky Dolenz, Will Chase and Lisa Brescia.
Cox is taking over for Destiny's Child star Michelle T. Williams and is the fourth R&B recording star to play the love-struck Nubian princess, following Williams, Heather Headley and Toni Braxton.
