Madix will make her Broadway debut on January 29, 2024, playing eight weeks at the Ambassador Theater through March 24.
“It's just the biggest dream come true,” Ariana said during the performance Wednesday morning Live with Kelly and Mark.

The role is a longtime dream of the Bravo reality star.
She attended Flagler College in Florida, where she studied musical theater.
