There’s a new Roxie Hart in town.
“Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix made her Broadway debut in “Chicago” on Monday, Jan. 29 at the Ambassador Theatre.
Madix “gave a killer performance with the polish and skill of a Broadway veteran,” People reported. “She received standing ovations by curtain’s close and smiled brightly for the crowd as she took her bows.”
And while the Roxie role is often considered Broadway’s go-to for stunt casting — past Roxies have been played by Pamela Anderson, Ashlee Simpson, Liza Minnelli, Renée Zellweger and Erika Jayne of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” among others — Madix is a natural fit for the show.
Having graduated with a musical theater degree, this is a full circle moment for the reality TV icon and “Dancing With The Stars” alum.
“To say this is a fulfillment of a lifelong dream would be an understatement,” she told People. “This is quite literally everything to me. It’s all I’ve ever wanted.”
And if you want to see her perform in the Tony-winning musical about women committing homicides in the 1920s, it isn’t too late to snag seats.
As of now, tickets are available for all of Broadway’s longest current running musical up until Madix’s final performance on March 24.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $73 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows have seats starting anywhere from $80 to $130 before fees.
