Ariana Madix has made her debut on Broadway
The 38-year-old TV star appeared in a production of 'Chicago' at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City on Monday night (29.01.24)
1 February 2024
Ariana starred as Roxie Hart in the show, and she received support from some of her 'Vanderpump Rules' co-stars, including Lala Kent and Scheana Shay.
Ariana's mom, Tanya, and Daniel Wai - the TV star's boyfriend - were also sat among the audience, according to PEOPLE.
Ariana studied musical theatre at Flagler College in Florida and she received a standing ovation from the audience after her Broadway debut.
The reality star previously admitted that she was fulfilling a life-long dream by treading the boards in the Big Apple.
Speaking ahead of her Broadway debut, she told PEOPLE: "To say this is a fulfilment of a life-long dream would be an understatement.
"This is quite literally everything to me. It's all I've ever wanted. And to be here now, having this full-circle moment ... I feel so beyond grateful."
Ariana acknowledged that some people will always question her credentials as a performer.
However, the actress is determined to prove her doubters wrong.
Ariana - who also appeared on 'Dancing with the Stars' last year - explained: "I'm keenly aware what brought me here, but I don't want that to be what people think about when they leave the theatre.
"As cool as it is, it's very 'Hamilton' for me: I cannot throw away my shot. When I go out there, I really want people to say, 'She belongs here.' I don't want people to say, 'Oh, she got cast because of whatever and nothing else'.
"I'm here to prove to people that I deserve my opportunity."
