Vanderpump Rules alum Ariana Madix‘s star quality continues to be celebrated … this time, for her Broadway debut in the musical, Chicago.
Ariana, who pivoted from VPR to hosting Love Island USA, achieved record-breaking ticket sales during her two stints as Broadway’s Roxie Hart.
The nomination:
“Cheers to Ariana Madix on her nomination for Favorite Broadway Debut as Roxie Hart in CHICAGO at this year’s iHeart Radio Music Awards!”
Ariana’s life after VPR:
The former SUR bartender remains booked and busy. While the majority of the Pump Rules cast seemed lost after the news they were recast for season 12, Ariana remained unbothered.
She performed the song ‘Lovefool‘ on Peacock’s float at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, landed a guest role on season 3 of Will Trent, and even hosted an unknown filming at her West Hollywood sandwich shop, Something About Her, earlier this month.
Speaking of Something About Her, Ariana also volunteered her and Katie Maloney’s boutique restaurant to film the next season of VPR with its new cast.
“If any of those kids next door at SUR want to pop into Something About Her and have a sandwich and have a little argument over some Cameron sandwiches and some Avaline wine, we’d love to have them,” she offered.
Here’s Taste of Reality’s full review of Something About Her, spoiler alert … it was worth the hype!
Ariana’s farewell to VPR:
“Vanderpump Rules, you will forever be that girl 💖. I was up til 4am looking for all the right pics and the right words, but there’s no post or caption that could ever encapsulate everything.”
“I am forever grateful to have been a part of such an incredible cultural phenomenon. Thank you Bravo TV, Lisa Vanderpump, [and] Evolution USA for every experience over the last 10+ years.”
“Thank you especially to the fans. You’ve been the constant over the last decade. Your love and support is what I’ll miss the most about it ending. You made this show what it is. To the fans who have shown up for us, old and new, it’s all because of you that we are here.”
“I’m feeling at peace with closing this chapter and I’m excited for everything that is to come. I don’t know that these were the best days of our lives, but they were definitely something special 💖.”
