Ousted Dancing With the Stars Contestant Chaz Bono Hopes Broadway Comes Knocking

Broadway.com suggested it first: Chaz Bono in a Broadway musical. Though our list of possible roles was written with tongue (slightly) in cheek, the newly ousted Dancing With the Stars contestant is ready to take us up on it. During a backstage interview after being eliminated from the competition on October 25, Bono expressed enthusiasm when asked if he’d like to make his Main Stem debut. “In a hot second!” said the star, who counts Broadway diva Orfeh among his childhood friends. “Yes! If Broadway comes knocking, please. I’d be very happy to do anything. I’d love this experience.”

Ironically, it was Bono’s performance on Broadway Week that led to his departure from Dancing With the Stars.
