Joanna “JoJo” Levesque will take over Lea Michele’s role in Chess on Broadway.
Levesque will play Florence Vassy starting June 23 through Sept. 13, opposite Aaron Tveit and Nicholas Christopher. This marks Levesque’s return to Broadway after she starred in Moulin Rouge as Satine for several months in 2023 and again in 2024.
Levesque rose to fame with the hits “Leave (Get Out)” and “Too Little Too Late” and became the youngest solo artist to top the Billboard Mainstream Top 40. She won a 2020 Grammy for “Say So” with PJ Morton and has sold more than 8 million albums worldwide across her career. In addition to her previous Broadway runs, Levesque originated the role of Tess in Working Girl at La Jolla Playhouse.
