Ashley Graham’s Broadway debut is just around the corner, and she’s getting some major support from a seasoned pro – Brooke Shields.
The Ashley Graham Broadway debut is making waves as the model gears up to take on the iconic role of Roxie Hart in Chicago. And who better to coach her than Brooke, who’s slayed that same role both in London and NYC?
In a recent CBS Mornings interview, Ashley Graham opened up about how Brooke Sheilds has been more than generous with advice. From long, heartfelt texts to backstage pep talks (literally – they met in the bathroom before Ashley’s audition), Brooke’s been her unofficial Broadway fairy godmother. Ashley recalled Brooke telling her to “just be yourself,” a tip that might sound simple, but ended up being game-changing for her audition confidence.
Ashley’s clearly not letting any of the doubters hold her back. She’s been told “no” more times than she can count, but now she’s using all that rejection as fuel. And honestly? That hunger totally lines up with the ambition Roxie Hart brings to the stage. Ashley said it best – Roxie is “in all of us.”
Her Chicago casting was announced in March, and she was over the moon, calling it a “new challenge” and “an honor.” She also dropped the news on Instagram with full excitement, shouting out that she’s “Broadway-bound” and locking in her performance dates from April 15 through May 25 at the Ambassador Theatre.
As rehearsals roll, fans are already hyped to see what Ashley brings to the table. And with Brooke Shields backing her? We’re betting it’s gonna be iconic.
