Pamela Anderson is ready for her Broadway debut!


Over a decade ago, Anderson was first approached with the proposal to star in a Broadway show. With her sons still at home, she declined, opting to be close to them instead. Now, Anderson is set to debut in "Chicago," and couldn't be more ready. She shares,

"I'm excited and scared out of my mind. My kids are grown. [Producer] Barry Weissler called and said, 'It's time,' and it is. I needed something like this in my life at this moment. I really wanted to sink my teeth into something and I just really needed it. It's a crazy experience, just throwing yourself into something with the singing, the dancing, and the acting, the theater people around you. There is so much talent. It's a little intimidating, but I like doing scary things."

Anderson says she's been getting "really restless" in her day to day life, especially with the ongoing pandemic. Keeping busy with rehearsals is the perfect way to keep her satiated. She continues,

"I'm just eating it up. I never would have thought I would even have the opportunity to do something like this, so I'm not gonna let myself down, number one, but I'm not gonna let anybody down. I'm not gonna let Barry down, my family down. My kids are my cheerleaders. Brandon’s here with me today and he's like, 'It's time, Mom. You deserve it.' As soon as you realize you deserve something, it comes."

When it comes to what fans can expect, Anderson teases that she's "got a few things up my sleeve."

"It just feels kind of meant to be. I just feel like this is something I've been rehearsing for my whole life and I'm doing it! I didn’t know if I could sing, or if I could dance, or if I could do anything -- I’m not saying I can, you have to come see -- but I’m surprising myself. I’m really doing this for me."

Anderson is making her Broadway debut in "Chicago" beginning Tuesday, April 12 through Sunday, June 5.
