Michelle Williams, Broadway’s current Roxie Hart, will be one of the judges who will determine the winner of Be Sensational and Win, a new talent contest being held in conjunction with the Broadway production of Chicago the Musical, running at the Ambassador Theatre. The promotion will provide the winner with a walk-on role in the show.

The contest will be open to individuals across the country, who will be able to enter on line at www.besensationalandwin.com by uploading a video of themselves performing a song from the Kander and Ebb musical, beginning March 15. Live auditions will also take place on Monday, March 22 at the Ambassador Theatre.

From the submissions and live auditions, Williams, along with the musical’s casting team and an executive from Maybelline, which is co-sponsoring the contest, will select six finalists. After this, the public will have the chance to determine which of the finalists will win, with online voting to run April 19 – May 7.

In addition to the walk-on role, the winner will receive a trip for two to New York, a professional makeup artist kit from Maybelline, and more.
