A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "Sadie's in great shape and few people actually realize she has a great voice. She'd love the opportunity to do the 'Chicago' role for a limited run, and obviously her famous pals would all come out to support her, which would be great publicity for the show!"

The role of Roxie has previously been played by Ashlee Simpson, Denise Van Outen, Suzanne Shaw and Jill Halfpenny.

Sadie, 43, gave up acting over 10 years ago following the birth of her three children with then-husband Jude Law.

In 1997, she set up a production company, Natural Nylon, with fellow British actors - Jude, Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller and Sean Pertwee and businessman friend Damon Bryant.

Ewan and Damon left the company in 2002 and Jude resigned from his position as director in 2003 following his divorce from Sadie. The company folded a year later.

Sadie and friend Jemima French set up their fashion label FrostFrench in 1999.
