| RETURNING BY POPULAR DEMAND AFTER BREAKING BOX OFFICE RECORDS! TV PERSONALITY, ACTRESS & AUTHOR ARIANA MADIX RETURNS AS "ROXIE" BEGINNING THURSDAY, AUGUST 1 IN BROADWAY'S LONGEST RUNNING AMERICAN MUSICAL IN HISTORY Chicago is thrilled to announce that TV personality, actress and author Ariana Madix (Host of Peacock's "Love Island," Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" and a finalist on the most recent season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars) will return in the role as "Roxie Hart." Ariana broke box office records for Chicago during her first appearance as "Roxie" earlier this year. Ariana returns Thursday, August 1 through Tuesday, August 27 at the Ambassador Theatre (219 W. 49th St., NYC). Chicago is Broadway's longest running American musical in Broadway history. For more information and to buy tickets, visit www.ChicagoTheMusical.com. Ariana Madix has paved her own unique path in the world of entertainment and reality TV. Born and raised in Melbourne, FL, Ariana began performing as soon as she could walk. After a successful competitive equestrian career and winning two national dance championships, this talented newcomer received Bachelor's degrees in Theatre and Broadcast Communications from Flagler College. It wasn't long before Ariana set out to pursue her dream and moved to New York City where she became a part of the sketch comedy world. Working extensively with College Humor, MTV, and ESPN helped to solidify Ariana's quick dry wit and biting sarcasm. Madix is now based in Los Angeles, has a diverse resume in film & tv including Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules." Turning her "survival job" as a bartender into an enterprise, Ariana's path is truly unique. She was a finalist on season 32 of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." Variety named her one of the Most Powerful Women in Reality TV and her book Single AF Cocktails: Drinks for Bad B*tches was recently named a New York Times best-seller. About Chicago With a legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb , Chicago is now the #1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history. Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, Chicago is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording. Directed by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ann Reinking, Chicago features set design by Tony Award winner John Lee Beatty, costume design by Tony Award winner William Ivey Long, lighting design by Tony Award winner Ken Billington, sound design by Tony Award winner Scott Lehrer, casting by ARC / Duncan Stewart, CSA and Executive Producer Alecia Parker. Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids. Performance Schedule Mondays at 7pm, Tuesdays at 7pm, Thursdays at 7pm, Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2:30pm & 8pm, Sundays at 2pm & 7pm Ticket Information Tickets are available in person at the Ambassador Theatre (219 W 49th St). Box office hours are Monday through Saturday 10am-8:30pm, Sunday 12pm-7:30pm. Tickets are also available at ChicagoTheMusical.com. Ariana is repped by Venture Entertainment Partners, Gersh Agency, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller et al. |
