The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member made her grand return to Broadway's Chicago on January 20, and she shared a look at what it was like for her to take the stage once again on her Instagram Story.

Erika posted a series of photos on opening night and the days before, including one of her sitting down in athletic socks and her dancing shoes during a rehearsal. In another photo, Erika can be seen holding a bouquet of red flowers after the final curtain. 

After her first 2025 performance was officially in the books, the diamond holder took to her Instagram Story to share her gratitude to those who attended. 

"Thank you to everyone that [sic] came to the show tonight!" she wrote on a black screen before signing her name and adding a red heart emoji.

Her 2025 run marks the second time that Erika has taken on the role of Roxie Hart in the musical. The mom of one made her Broadway debut in Chicago back in January 2020, but her run was cut short thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly five full years later, Erika is back on the stage. 

She confirmed the exciting news on Instagram in December 2024.

"Beginning 2025 by stepping back onto Broadway as Roxie Hart feels like coming home," she wrote in the announcement. "This role holds a special place in my heart, and I'm truly grateful for the opportunity to bring her story to life once again."

Erika isn't the first Bravolebrity who has taken on the iconic role. RHOBH alum Lisa Rinna starred in the musical alongside husband Harry Hamlin in 2007 (before she held a diamond), while Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix also had two separate stints as Roxie in 2024

RHOA alum Kandi Burruss appeared in the musical as Matron "Mama" Morton in 2018.

Erika Jayne opens up about her Broadway preparation

In early January, Erika spoke exclusively with The Daily Dish about how she was getting reacquainted with the musical.

"I've been prepping with Greg Butler, who preps all the Roxies in Los Angeles and I worked with him five years ago when I originally did the role," she told us. "And I'm super excited for it."
