About one month before her turn as Roxie, she reflected on returning to the role five years later.
Sharing pH๏τos of her Chicago Playbill cover, she mused, ‘Beginning 2025 by stepping back onto Broadway as Roxie Hart feels like coming home.
‘This role holds a special place in my heart, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to bring her story to life once again. ✨’
The blonde beauty urged fans not to miss her at the Ambᴀssador Theatre as she added, ‘Get your tickets now!’
Weeks later the star tantalized fans as she released a polished promotional video featuring her singing a rendition of the show’s signature tune, Roxie.
It was excitedly captioned, ‘And that’s Showbiz, kid! I’m back on Broadway as Roxie Hart!! Tickets in Bio.’

In an interview with Playbill ahead of her opening night, Erika gushed about the opportunity, ‘Who says “no” to Broadway?!’
And she dished that in this run of the show she’s excited to dig into ‘the nuances, the things that I missed the first time run.’
She explained, ‘I know this is going to sound really silly, but almost like, the placement of the hands,’ before humorously adding, ‘I’ve been thinking about it for five years.’
In the musical, Roxie shoots her boyfriend ᴅᴇᴀᴅ for trying to leave her and lands in jail, where she encounters Velma — who is in prison for murdering her husband and sister after she caught them in an affair.
The two scorned women become rivals as they fight for their lawyer’s attention and over the celebrity status they’ve attained for their crimes.
Referencing her ex-husband, disbarred lawyer Tom Girardi, 85 — who was recently convicted of stealing $15 million from his clients — Jayne noted, ‘Look, I’ve gone through some really interesting personal things in the last five years.’
The reality television star cheekily noted that her personal matters ‘may or may not sort of mirror Roxie’s legal journey.’
