Ariana Madix Details “Rollercoaster” From Scandoval to Broadway

“Roxy’s story is one that I totally identify with,” the reality star admitted, “and sometimes when we’re working on the script or working on the lines with her, I’m like, ‘That’s like me.’ I love that about her and she is cool. She’s bada–.”

Plus, Roxy turned tragedy into success.

“If you think about the emotional Olympics, she’s gold in everything,” Madix continued, “because she’ll butter you up, but the second that you might not be giving her what she needs, she’s coming for you.”

And, yes, her VPR costars will be in the audience to see her debut.

“They are so excited and all of them have talked about how they are going to come,” Madix revealed. “What’s great is our show is gonna be airing while I’m performing, so they’re all going to be coming out for Watch What Happens Live. It works out perfectly.”
