Former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Reece Weaver Makes Broadway Debut in Chicago
Reece Weaver, who once cheered for the Dallas Cowboys, has moved from the football sidelines to the Broadway stage, according to the BBC.
Reece Weaver, a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, has made her Broadway debut in the musical Chicago, the BBC reported.
According to the BBC, Weaver's casting drew criticism from some who characterized it as "stunt casting," a practice in which producers cast celebrities or public figures from outside traditional theater backgrounds to draw attention or ticket sales.
The BBC report states that Weaver has overcome this criticism in her transition from performing as an NFL cheerleader to appearing in the long-running Broadway production.
Further details about Weaver's specific role in the production, the timing of her debut, or additional context about the casting controversy were not specified in the available report.
