Ariana Madix Calls Out of 'Chicago' Performance After Having a 'Coughing Fit' During Show

Madix, 38, is currently playing Roxie Hart in the long-running Broadway show.

@ArianaMadix on InstagramMadix, who also recently made it to the finals on Dancing With the Stars and won the People's Choice Award for Best Competition Contestant, continued in her story that while she wished she could go on, she was advised against performing. During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark in December, the actress -- who moved to New York City after graduating from Flagler College with a degree in theater -- announced she would be taking on the role and said she could not be more excited to chase a dream she's had since childhood. Madix's performance in the iconic role of Roxie Hart adds her name to the list of Bravo stars who have graced the Chicago stage, following in the footsteps of Erika Girardi, Lisa Rinna, Kandi Burrus, and NeNe Leakes.
