Jayne’s Appearance in the Musical Was Her Broadway Debut & Pamela Anderson Is Now in the Role of Roxie Hart
Roxie Hart is an iconic character and the central figure in Chicago, one of the most iconic Broadway musicals. Anderson was cast as Hart recently, Variety reported, and will be making her Broadway debut on April 12.
The “Baywatch” actress will appear in the musical for eight weeks at the renowned Ambassador Theatre until June 5, the publication wrote. The role of Roxie Hart has been filled by many famous faces in the past, including Gwen Verdon, Ashlee Simpson, Brooke Shields and Melanie Griffith.
Jayne’s appearance as Hart in 2020 marked her own Broadway debut and she told People when the news was announced that she was “beyond excited to join the cast of the legendary musical. Having been a fan of Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon’s work it is an honor and a dream to play Roxie Hart.”
Unfortunately for Jayne, her run on Broadway was cut short due to shutdowns when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. She debuted in January 2020 at the Ambassador Theatre and was supposed to perform until March 29. After the remainder of the shows were canceled, she stated, “Well this is not the way I wanted to say goodbye to Roxie and my Chicago family but I have no choice.” She added, “THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone that came to the shows . I leave NYC feeling like my mission is incomplete but I will treasure this time always.”
