Jessica Biel has landed her first Broadway role, according to reports.

The A-Team actress has signed to star in a stage musical version of the Spanish film Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

Pedro Almodovar directed the original 1988 comedy, which featured Antonio Banderas.

Biel reportedly took secret singing lessons to prepare for her role in a one-off production of Guys & Dolls last summer in Los Angeles.
