Ariana Madix’s fall 2026 schedule includes a Broadway engagement that asks audiences to see her in a different role: Connie Francis in the musical Just in Time.
Broadway Direct announced the casting on August 17, with Madix scheduled to begin on September 12 and conclude the limited engagement on November 22, 2026. As of October 22, the run is still underway.
A part of Broadway’s music-history storytelling
Just in Time is staged at Circle in the Square Theatre in New York City. Its story draws on the songs and career of Bobby Darin, with a live-band approach designed to evoke a nightclub rather than a conventional proscenium production.
Connie Francis was an important pop singer in the era explored by the show. Casting a performer known for reality television and hosting places Madix’s stage work in conversation with a different kind of celebrity history.
Not her first step onto the stage
Madix is known to many viewers from Vanderpump Rules and Love Island USA, but she has already worked on Broadway. This engagement is another stage role, not evidence that she has abandoned her television career.
The official casting announcement calls it a limited run and identifies the theater and dates. It does not make claims about final box-office receipts or audience response, so those figures are not being assumed here.
With November 22 approaching, theatergoers considering the production have a specific window in which to see this cast member. Performance schedules can shift, and audiences should confirm a given date with the ticketing provider.
