Pamela Anderson Will Play Roxie Hart in CHICAGO
Film and TV star Pamela Anderson, best known for her roles in Baywatch and Home Improvement, will make her Broadway debut this spring as Roxie Hart in Chicago. The leading lady will step into the role April 12 for an eight-week limited engagement at the Ambassador Theatre.
“I have always been a huge fan of Bob Fosse’s and Gwen Verdon’s work. Ann Reinking, too,” said Anderson. “Performing Fosse, you don’t have time to get in your head. You can’t dance, sing and think at the same time. There is a freedom, a unique joy in knowing it’s all about the work. Playing Roxie Hart is a sweet escape for me.”
In addition to her work on stage, Anderson is an activist for several causes, including PETA and The National Domestic Violence Hotline. She founded The Pamela Anderson Foundation in 2014 to support organizations and individuals that stand on the front lines, risking their lives to protect and preserve human, animal, and environmental rights.
