The 32-year-old musician/actress enthusiastically shared the exciting news through her Twitter, "Truth. Beauty. Freedom. Love."

"So I can't believe I'm finally able to say this... I'm making my Broadway debut in 'Moulin Rouge'!

"When I first saw this musical I fell instantly head over heels in love. I watched from the edge of my seat, hanging onto every word of every song," she wrote and included a picture of the announcement.

It read: "Platinum-selling recording artist, Joanna "Jojo" Levesque is Satine. Beginning April 11."
