It’s Pamela Anderson, the former “Baywatch” star who is making her Broadway debut in “Chicago” as Roxie Hart.“I never see Broadway shows,” said one particularly well-dressed theatergoer, who nonetheless stood in a long line to scan his ticket on a rainy Monday night. He’d make an exception for Anderson.Anderson, who rose to fame as a Playboy model before donning that famous red swimsuit on “Baywatch,” isn’t known for singing or dancing (aside from a stint on “Dancing With the Stars”).

Pamela Anderson, 54, kicked off her Broadway role as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Tuesday night (April 12). The multi-talented star looked absolutely gorgeous on the stage at the Ambassador Theatre, where she nailed her first show as the iconic seductress. Pamela wore one of Roxie’s signature black costumes that included a sexy black bodysuit that showcased her slim figure.

joining the cast of “Chicago” on Broadway.I can now attest that the actress and “Baywatch” babe moves confidently, carries a tune and, you know, all that jazz.Anderson, 54, started her eight-week run as foxy Roxie Hart in the musical Tuesday night, and she was greeted with the kind of crowd euphoria that few shows have received during this tricky season — let alone a production that just turned 25 years old. Her sons, Dylan Jagger Lee and Brandon Thomas Lee, were sitting in the Ambassador Theatre, decked out in their midweek finery, supporting their famous mom. For Tuesday’s other, non-blood-related ticket-buyers, Pam might as well have been Ethel Merman considering the roars. She was swell, she was great.It helps that Roxie — a 1920s adulteress who murders her lover and becomes a tabloid darling as she argues self-defense — is the perfect part for the entertainment icon. Producers Fran and Barry Weissler — whose whole show is in terrific shape — have printed money for decades by cycling out an array of stars in the lead roles. However, hardly any (save for Melanie Griffith, maybe) know first-hand what it’s like to be front-page news the way Anderson does. When her Roxie is bombarded by reporters and flashbulbs at the courthouse with her smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn (Ryan Silverman), there’s a world-weary wisdom and a learned darkness to the actress that, intentional or not, separates her from the many Roxies who so often go overboard with squeals and emoting. Anderson is also very funny.

Pamela Anderson is all ready to make a splash on Broadway.

EXCLUSIVE: After helping tell the crazy behind-the-scenes story of the leaked Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, director Craig Gillespie looks to have found another wild true story to adapt for the big screen. Sources tell Deadline Gillespie has signed on to direct MGM’s feature adaptation of New York Times best-selling author Ben Mezrich The Antisocial Network. The book tells one of the biggest news stories of 2021, about a ragtag group of amateur investors, gamers and Internet trolls who brought Wall Street to its knees. MGM landed the rights to Mezrich’s book proposal back in January, only a week after the true-life story began taking shape on Wall Street and quickly made it a priority at the studio by tapping Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo to adapt.

Just 12 days before she’ll start her run as Roxie Hart in Chicago, Pamela Anderson was photographed out and about in her temporary home, New York City, on March 31. Paparazzi caught the new Broadway star leaving the theater after a long day of rehearsals. She kept her attire simple and casual, rocking a black turtleneck sweater and matching black leggings. Her hair was pulled back into a messy bun, and the look was complete with sunglasses and sneakers as she seemingly tried to avoid the photographers.
