Ariana Madix recently shared her excitement on social media about reaching the 100th performance as Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of "Chicago: The Musical."

Taking it to Instagram, the accomplished performer expressed gratitude after achieving this in New York City.

"Tonight i hit 100 shows at @chicagomusical and i'm counting my blessings because i can't believe i get to do this 8 times a week."

"Thank you everyone im lucky enough to share the ambassador theater with and thank you to every one of you who has come to see the show love you, rox. it sure is heaven, nowadays."

Reflecting on her time in Chicago, the "Vanderpump Rules" star shared nostalgic memories in her recent social media update.

"100 ladder climbs, 100 joe friscos, 100 baby woo's, 100 court rooms, 100 stage doors, 100 son of a b----- 's, 100 times on and backstage with the best ppl."

Maddix's stint is scheduled to conclude on September 1 as Alyssa Milano will be taking the stage at the Ambassador Theater from September 16 until November 10.

Maddix even said in an Instagram posted by the production over the weekend, "And after that, who knows. So, it's your last chance."

With Milano's debut on the Broadway stage, she aims to charm viewers by adding her star power into a production known for satirizing the world of celebrities.

She told the Associated Press, "The beauty of theater is that you get to try new things every night."

"That's what I used to love about doing theater. And that's what I hope that I can find again in doing 'Chicago.'"

In the "Chicago," Roxie, a homemaker and performer, takes her lover's life, who she sees on the side when he declares he's leaving her. To avoid punishment, Roxie hires Chicago's best lawyers to help her manipulate the public, the press, and her fellow inmate Velma Kelly with sensational news stories.

This production sharply critiques the entertainment industry's obsession with glorifying criminals, all set against the backdrop of the roaring 1920s.
