I love Renee's performance in "Chicago" she really should have won the Oscar that year. She wasn't a singer or dancer yet she pulled it off and even though she cheated on her husband, murdered her lover and lied about being pregnant - you couldn't help root her.

But can I see her in a musical on Broadway - No

I never rooted for Renee in the film. It was obvious she couldn't really sing or dance. I think she would be good in a comedy on stage.

She was terrific in the film of "Chicago" but the musical part were filmed in bits and pieces at least as far as the dancing; when it came time to sing the Oscar-nominated song live at the Academy Awards, she declined. Queen Latifah did it live with Catherine Zeta-Jones instead. Perhaps Zellweger might try a non-musical or a musical in a regional theater first if she doesn't think she has the seasoning yet to pull off a musical role on Broadway.
