Chicago on Broadway is going country by welcoming former chart topper Billy Ray Cyrus into the role of Billy Flynn

Now Chicago is going a little bit country by welcoming former chart topper Billy Ray Cyrus into the role.
Better known to younger generations as Miley Cyrus's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus created a sensation in the '90s with his breakout hit "Achy Breaky Heart," going on to find further success with "Some Gave All".
Cyrus is not new to acting, having played the lead on the PAX TV series Doc and playing a version of himself on the Disney hit show Hannah Montana.
Seeing John O'Hurley (known to TV audiences as J. Peterman on Seinfeld) play Billy Flynn inspired Billy Ray Cyrus to try his hand at the part. Making his Broadway debut, the country singer is scheduled to play Billy Flynn from November 5 to December 23.
