Miami’s Sofia Vergara, one of the hottest stars in the Latino world, will star as Matron Mama Morton in the Miami engagement of CHICAGO. Now celebrating 12 years of girls, glitz and glamour across the country, six-time Tony® Award winner CHICAGO will play the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami from May 26 – 31, 2009 as the grand finale of the 2008-2009 Broadway Season.
Director Barry Sonnenfeld gave Sofia her big break in the U.S. when he cast her as Nina in Disney’s comedy film, “Big Trouble,” co-starring Tim Allen and René Russo. Sofia followed that up with a pivotal dramatic role opposite James Marsden in Anthony Piccirillo’s independent film “The 24th Day.” In 2005, Sofia starred opposite Mark Wahlberg and Terrence Howard in “Four Brothers.”
Sofia has graced the cover of more than 100 international magazines and hosted dozens of top Hispanic events. Sofia’s Hispanic television credits include, “Fuera de Serie” (“Out of this World”) on Univisión and her own top-rated weekly show, “A que no te atreves” (“I dare you”). She also hosted “La Bomba,” a syndicated music and interview TV show.
