Katie Maloney and Lindsay Hubbard Offer *Honest* Reviews of Ariana Madix in Chicago

The Vanderpump Rules cast member is getting some reviews during her time on Broadway from some of her closest friends.

By Casey Suglia

Ariana Madix has officially taken over Broadway this year.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

The Vanderpump Rules cast member fulfilled her dreams and made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Jan. 29. Shortly after she hit the stage for the first time playing the role of the murdering songstress, it was announced that Ariana's Broadway run — which was only supposed to last until March 24 — was extended to April 7.

Luckily, her friends like BFF and sandwich shop co-owner Katie Maloney, and fellow Bravolebrities like Summer House's Lindsay Hubbard have just recently watched her perform, and they gave her some rave reviews. So it's not too late to get your tickets.

Katie Maloney's Review of Ariana Madix in Chicago

A split of Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney from her Instagram Story.

Katie made a pitstop on Broadway to watch her BFF perform her heart out while she was in New York before she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this past week. She took to her Instagram Story shortly after the performance, where she shared a photo of them taken backstage, and wrote the sweetest tribute to Ariana.

"I was verklempt tonight," she wrote over a photo of Ariana on the cover of the Chicago Playbill. "It was surreal at times, but you also own the f—k out of that stage so it also appeared completely natural. You were born for this. I was completely in awe and so proud of you the entire time. Congratulations on this massive accomplishment. You not only deserve it but have earned it. I love you."

Ariana simply responded to Katie's review, which she reposted to her own story. "I love you so much," she wrote over the Instagram Story.

Katie had been unable to see Ariana's Broadway debut in January because she was on her couch, sick for a week. But the wait was definitely worth it, given her glowing message for her friend. 

Lindsay Hubbard's Review of Ariana Madix on Broadway

A split of Ariana Madix and Lindsay Hubbard at Chicago.

The New York City-based Lindsay finally saw Ariana in Chicago earlier this week. Lindsay took to her Instagram story where she snapped a photo of the stage and tagged Katie, Ariana's boyfriend, Daniel, and Ariana's close friend, Logan Cochran. 

"So proud of you Ariana Madix," Lindsay wrote over the photo. "Seriously she crushed it!!!"

Lindsay also posted a photo of her and Ariana backstage to her Instagram story where she continued to rave about the performance. "So proud of our girl, Ariana Madix," she wrote over the photo.

Judging from Ariana's re-post, it's clear she is feeling the love in return.

They aren't the friends who have stopped by the Great White Way when she opened in the show. When Ariana made her big debut in January, VPR cast members, Scheana Shay and Lala Kent, and Ariana's boyfriend, Daniel Wai, were there to support her.

But there are only a few short weeks left for fans and musical lovers to see Ariana on stage as Roxie.

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Tuesday at 8/7c on Bravo. Stream the next day on Peacock. Watch Summer House on Thursday at 9/8c on Bravo. Stream the next day on Peacock.
