Erika Girardi/Erika Jayne: Let them eat cake

[hoodooznoodooz]

Do we think James Lewis Wilkes II paid the producer to let Erika play Roxie Hart again?
 

 

“Four years after the COVID-19 pandemic cut her run as Roxie Hart in Chicago short, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will return to the role next year for a limited three-week run. PEOPLE can exclusively announce Jayne's casting. Audiences can catch her in the musical from Jan. 20, 2025 through Feb 9, 2025.”

I'm not surprised (although I'm a little shocked). It seems other HWs, or Bravolebrities played the role of Roxy (Ariana Maddix, Lisa Renna), or participated on Broadway musicals (Nene Leakes, Kandi Burruss from the Atlanta HWs). It's a sign of the times. They are preferred because audiences are familiar with them.

Broadway tickets aren’t always cheap; especially for a decent seat. I’m sure these tv and movie personalities are brought in to sell more tix to their fans. Do they get paid handsomely for their guest spots? I’ve always heard that Broadway performers don’t make a ton of money compared to someone on a tv show or has a movie career. I hope she isn’t taking money away from another actress whose income is playing Roxy. 
My friend was just saying yesterday that she’s ready for us to go to NYC to see some shows plus I want to go to the Hayden Planetarium (I’ve been to all the art and history museums and galleries multiple times) Hmm..should I take one for the team? My friend has no idea who Erika is so it would be a honest perspective.

I too thought about going, the ticket prices are high but maybe the TKTS stand will have half price tickets. I haven't been to NYC in forever, should we plan a Prime timer field trip?

That could be fun. I’d be coming up with my friend who’s a hoot. We could all meet up. I’ll talk to her to see what her schedule is and get back to you. BTW, I doubt she even knows who Erika Jane is as she never watches Bravo. To her it would all be about the show Chicago.
