Crystal Kung Minkoff may be done with her career on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but she’s not done with the limelight. She appeared on the show from 2021 to 2024 before announcing her departure with a heartfelt Instagram video.
But the Chinese-American television personality, podcaster, and entrepreneur has already moved on with other projects. Not only that, but Crystal is toying with the idea of a role on Broadway.
“You never know,” Crystal said of the opportunity
Crystal and her husband, director Rob Minkoff, exclusively told People that the RHOBH alum might have a role in a project Rob is currently working on.
The couple revealed that Rob is creating a musical based on the book, Farewell My Concubine. The book is a treasured story in Chinese literature. It was adapted for the big screen in 1994 and starred the late Leslie Chung, Gong Li, and Zhang Fengyi.
“Rob’s been working on a musical based on an old Chinese book and film, Farewell My Concubine,” Crystal revealed.
The film presented the material in the form of a Chinese opera with a classic love triangle storyline. It was awarded Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography Oscar nominations in 1994.
Robert was asked whether he would cast Crystal in the musical. The Hollywood heavyweight said, “I hope so. I might have to twist her arm.”
Crystal added, “You know what if you told me five years ago that I would’ve been a housewife, I would’ve bet everything on it that I wouldn’t. So you never know!”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum would be in good company on Broadway. Her former costar Erika Jayne will star as Roxie Hart in Chicago for a three-week run in January 2025. Erika’s previous show was cut short by Covid.
Currently, Crystal has a coconut water line and co-hosts the Humble Brag podcast with Cynthia Bailey.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will return on January 7, 2025, at 8/7c on Bravo.
