The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne shared some sad news with her fans on Thursday. Her run as Roxie in the Broadway play Chicago is wrapping up earlier than expected. According to Hollywood Reporter, all Broadway plays are going dark for a month amid coronavirus fears.

RHOBH Star Erika Jayne’s Broadway Run Began January 6

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne took on the iconic role of Roxie Hart starting January 6, 2020. The role was previously played by the likes of model Christie Brinkley, actress Rumer Willis and Erika’s RHOBH co-star Lisa Rinna.

Several of Erika’s co-stars came to the show in New York City. Denise Richards, who is reportedly on the outs with the other women, was absent. Erika has been temporarily living in NYC during her Broadway run, meaning she likely won’t appear a lot in the upcoming Season 10 of RHOBH.

Erika’s Chicago run originally extended to March 29. However, the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, banned gatherings of more than 500 people. The ban effectively shuttered Broadway shows for a month. All Broadway shows, including Chicago, are dark through April 12.
