Hold onto your hats, folks—Christie Brinkley is making her triumphant return to Broadway! In just a couple of weeks, the legendary model will step back into the spotlight as Roxy Hart in the iconic revival of Chicago. This isn't just any comeback; it's a role she first tackled nearly a decade ago. But if you think getting ready for Broadway is a breeze, think again. Christie recently opened up about the whirlwind schedule she's already diving into, and let me tell you, it’s nothing short of intense.
At 65 years young, Christie is showing no signs of slowing down. Speaking exclusively to Closer Weekly during the live finale of Lifetime’s American Beauty Star in New York City on March 27, she shared just how demanding her preparation has been. “Let me tell you something—I’m going to need every trick in the book because I’m hitting the ground running like never before!” Christie exclaimed. She went on to describe her jam-packed itinerary: “Tomorrow morning, I’m hopping on an early flight to Phoenix. The very next day, I’m jumping straight into a full dress rehearsal. That’s where I’ll meet my cast for the first time! And guess what? After that, we’re rolling right into an evening performance. So basically, two shows in less than 48 hours.”
Christie’s Schedule: A Rollercoaster of Performances
Christie continued to break down her jam-packed schedule: “Saturday rolls around, and it’s a matinee and evening show. Then comes Sunday, with another matinee and evening show. Can you believe it? My first three days back after seven years away from the stage are absolutely packed. Oh, and here’s the kicker—it’s West Coast time! So when the evening show kicks off, it’s already 11 PM New York time, and by 1 AM, I’ll still be out there on stage, dancing my heart out.”

But despite the chaos, Christie wouldn’t trade this experience for anything. “It’s exhilarating! I can’t wait to get back out there. Rehearsing has been such a blast, and I’m just so grateful for this incredible opportunity,” she gushed. “I’m pinching myself every day, thinking, ‘Is this really happening again?’ It’s just mind-blowing.”
So, Where Does All That Energy Come From?
Now, you might be wondering how Christie manages to keep up with such a grueling schedule. She revealed a few secrets: “Back when I first played this role in London, I faced a similar situation. I got off the plane, had a couple of hours to rest, then jumped straight into morning talk shows, followed by two shows in one day. There’s something magical about the energy in a theater and the connection with a live audience. Plus, the material is just so fantastic.”
She elaborated further: “I’m always the first one at the theater, and I love hearing the place fill up. There’s this buzz in the air, people poking their heads in my dressing room asking, ‘Hey, how’s it going?’ It’s pure magic, and I’m part of it. I can’t believe I’m living this moment, and I think all that excitement fuels my energy.”
