Ariana Madix is going to Broadway

Vanderpump Rules star and season 32 contestant on Dancing with the Stars Ariana Madix is making a big move starting in 2024: she’s going to be starring on Broadway! It’s going to be a busy year for Ariana Madix who will also be featured in the upcoming season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, filmed shortly after the fallout of the cheating scandal that Ariana was at the center of, dubbed by fans “Scandoval.”

Luckily for Ariana Madix, she’s going to be flexing her performing skills on Broadway from January to March of 2024, so it won’t just be all about re-living her then-long term boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, cheating on her with fellow Vanderpump Rules co-star Raquel Leviss (now Rachel Leviss).

On an episode of Live with Kelly and Mark on December 6, the day after the Dancing with the Stars finale in which Ariana Madix and her dancing partner came in third place, she mad the big announcement and revealed that her next move would be to Broadway where she’ll be taking on the role of Roxie Hart in Chicago.

“It’s just the biggest dream come true,” she said when she shared the news. From January 29 through March 24, 2024, Ariana Madix will be playing the lead role in the revival of Chicago at New York City’s Ambassador Theatre.

The Vanderpump Rules star isn’t the first Bravo TV celebrity to appear in Chicago, though. Two RHOA stars, Kandi Burruss and NeNe Leakes, have portrayed the role of “Mama” Morton in the musical and former RHOBH cast member Lisa Rinna played the same role that Ariana Madix will be taking over.

While Ariana is dancing and singing her heart out on Broadway, Bravo TV fans will be watching the events of the previous summer play out in season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. While Ariana Madix will be appearing on the season, one other piece of the Scandoval triangle, Rachel (Raquel) Leviss reportedly won’t be and even skipped out on the cast trip to Lake Tahoe.

It’s safe to say that Ariana Madix has really turned things around since the Scandoval news first broke. Although she didn’t win Dancing with the Stars, she did recently release a book and broke this news for her Broadway deal.
