Reece Weaver Heads to Broadway | Durham News

Reece Weaver, the 24-year-old Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who skyrocketed to fame on Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts, is officially retiring from the squad after three seasons to chase her Broadway dream — playing Roxie Hart in Chicago, opening September 7 at the Ambassador Theatre. A lifelong dancer with a degree in the art, she’s long dreamed of stepping onto the Great White Way, calling her nerves “a good thing” as she prepares to join an illustrious legacy. Her departure was hinted at earlier this year and confirmed in June’s finale; she made the move in March, feeling “her cup was filled to the brim,” and treated her last game like a farewell performance. With over 1.3 million social media followers, Weaver’s journey from gridiron glam to stage spotlight is one for the books.
