As fans waited to greet Ariana Madix earlier this week at New York City’s Ambassador Theatre, where the “Vanderpump Rules” star is currently starring as lead Roxie Hart in “Chicago,” a security guard politely asked them not to mention her cheating ex.

Fans cheered at the request, with some claiming they’d “never” do such a thing. The excited crowd was waiting at the theater’s stage door, where the show’s performers often greet their supporters and sign the Playbill programs.
Madix, 38, made her Broadway debut as Roxie on Jan. 29. She was scheduled to perform in “Chicago” through March 24, but she extended her time on stage until April 7, according to Playbill.
“Opening night was terrifying and really exciting. I shed many tears that day,” she recalled during a February interview with Broadway Direct. “My mom was there. It felt like a rock concert! It’s something I will never forget.”
