Pamela Anderson to Star as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway

Pamela Anderson will make her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in the Tony-winning revival of Chicago on Broadway. She will begin performances on April 12 at the Ambassador Theatre and perform through June 5.

"I have always been a huge fan of Bob Fosse's and Gwen Verdon’s work. Ann Reinking, too,” Anderson said. “Playing Roxie Hart is a dream fulfilled."

Anderson appeared on Playboy’s international covers over 100 times. Her first television role was playing Lisa, the Tool Time Girl on ABC’s hit sitcom Home Improvement. She then went on to star as CJ in Baywatch and produced her own television series, V.I.P., starring as Val. Her only starring movie role was Barb in Barb Wire. She is a board member and honorary director of PETA, and she founded the Pamela Anderson Foundation in 2014 to protect and preserve human, animal and environmental rights.
