Bravo Needs To Introduce a 'Real Housewives of Broadway' Spin-Off

   

There's already been conversation swirling around about the idea between Broadway stars and executive producer Andy Cohen, and there's been several stars from various franchises who've participated in Broadway productions. I also think fans would love to see an inside look into the world of showbiz. And finally, we've already seen our fair share of Real Housewives stars on Broadway - so the history is there.

Broadway Stars Megan Hilty And Kristin Chenoweth Are Already Pitching to Andy Cohen

Andy's response to Megan's pitch is what really surprised me. He responded saying a Housewives cast of full Broadway divas had been talked about before with another Broadway star - Kristin Chenoweth, who is also a known Bravo-holic. Apparently, she had been talking to him about the possibility of that series for a long time. Andy responded to Megan on WWHL saying "We've discussed. Chenoweth has been talking to me about that for a long time." Not one, but two Broadway stars have now pitched the idea to Andy, which I think is really what the idea needed to gain real traction.

The attention has already been turned to the idea with Megan's pitch on WWHL, and, personally, I think fans would love an inside look into the world of showbiz. Think about it - the show would have a cast of literal drama queens. You can't tell me that Broadway divas don't know how to turn the entertainment and drama factor up to a whole new level. We will get a glimpse into the daily lives of Broadway stars from their practices, self-care routines, shows, and other appearances. We will also get to see how the stars interact with each other - and how the competitive nature of the business impacts their friendships. I think that's the perfect recipe for a great reality show.

We've Seen Plenty of 'Real Housewives' Cast Members On Broadway

Multiple Housewives have been featured on Broadway in the production Chicago, including The Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeNe Leakes and Kandi Burruss, and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Erika Jayne - who will be returning to the production later this month. Erika will be coming back to the role of “Roxie Hart” at the Ambassador Theatre, after her run was cut short in January 2020 by the COVID-19 shut down. Needless to say, The Real Housewives franchise has an extensive history with Broadway, which sets a strong foundation for a full series.
