‘Vanderpump Rules’ star Ariana Madix is set to make her Broadway debut in the iconic musical ‘Chicago’ next year. Madix, a main cast member of the reality TV show, shared the news during an appearance on a talk show. The 38-year-old actress expressed her excitement and called it a dream come true. She will take on the role of Roxie Hart, previously played by famous actresses like Gwen Verdon and Ann Reinking.
‘Chicago’ is the longest-running musical on Broadway and centers around the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, two murderesses who await trial in jail. The Broadway revival of the show has often featured celebrities in leading roles and Madix will continue that tradition.
This casting announcement comes after Madix’s recent success as a finalist on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Despite personal challenges, including a highly publicized scandal involving her former boyfriend and co-star Tom Sandoval, Madix has persevered and is now achieving her childhood dream of performing on Broadway.
