Ep305 - Ariana Madix: Roxiepump Rules

The Theatre Podcast with Alan Seales

From growing up a self-proclaimed overachiever to her recent success in “Dancing with the Stars”, Ariana Madix remains unstoppable as she makes her Broadway debut in an eight-week run as Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of “Chicago”. She reflects on her childhood, what got her into performing and theatre, and the shows she drew inspiration from. She also looks back into her early career, including moving to New York as a theater major after college, and the realities of the industry that led her to move to Los Angeles. As she returns to New York for her Broadway debut in “Chicago”, she talks about her role and the preparations she’s doing for the show and imparts an important piece of advice for aspiring actors: “Get in line. Never get out of line because one day your number will be called.”

Ariana Madix is a TV personality, actress, model, and author who’s known for being a cast member on the Bravo reality TV series, “Vanderpump Rules”, and was one of Variety's 40 Most Powerful Women on Reality TV. She just finished in the top three in the latest season of “Dancing with the Stars”, and has a book out called “Single AF Cocktails”. Starting January 29th, 2024, she's making her Broadway debut in an eight-week run of “Chicago” as Roxie Hart.
