Alyssa Milano hopes to charm audiences when she makes her Broadway debut this fall in the musical “Chicago,” adding her celebrity to a show that skewers celebrity culture.

“The beauty of theater is that you get to try new things every night,” she says. “That’s what I used to love about doing theater. And that’s what I hope that I can find again in doing ‘Chicago.’ ”

Milano, former star of “Who’s the Boss?” and “Charmed,” steps into the role of Roxie Hart at the Ambassador Theatre beginning Sept. 16 for an eight-week engagement through Nov. 10.

For Milano, hitting the stage is a return to her roots. She was in a national touring company of “Annie” at age 8, and she went on to star in Wendy Wasserstein’s “Tender Offer” at the off-Broadway Ensemble Studio Theater and “All Night Long” at Second Stage. She was in the first American musical adaptation of “Jane Eyre” and produced and starred in a Los Angeles production of “Butterflies Are Free.”

Milano says doing a stint on Broadway never felt right until now. Her children — ages 9 and 12 — are settled in school and extracurricular activities, and her husband is in a good place in his career.

“It just felt like when this offer came up that everything fell into place,” she says. “My 9-year-old daughter looked at me and said ‘Mom, you would be an idiot not to do this.’ ”

Milano hopes fans will come and see her more than once. “I guarantee you I’m going to keep finding things — keep finding little moments that will, hopefully, add on to the legacy of all the women who came before me.”
