BE THE FIRST TO KNOW WHEN A NEW EPISODE DROPS!
On this episode I talked with Jessie about when she knew she wanted to be a performer and be on Broadway, 36 Questions the Podcast Musical and what made her want to take on the role of Natalie/Judith in it, getting cast to be Dawn on the Waitress tour, how she managed to adjust to life on the road with Waitress, how she ended up getting involved in the off-Broadway production of Cruel Intentions Musical, her involvement with Hadestown since it’s New York Theatre Workshop Days, when she was told she’d be a part of the Original Broadway Cast of Hadestown and be not only a swing, but also an understudy for Eurydice and two of the fates, and much MORE!

Her love of music was apparent early on in her toddler composition of various “sandbox operas,” aptly named by a childhood neighbor. With two musician parents and an ear for language and the lyrical, it’s no wonder she found herself quickly diving into the arts. Ever a studious creature, her attention was first drawn to violin, then ballet, and as she approached high school ‘the theatre’ took hold. Here she found she was able to put all her passions into practice and here she has stayed.
The future is unknown to her, but the present is awfully exciting. Eight times a week she donned her Fate shoes in Broadway’s award-winning Hadestown and in the off hours she continues to create new work with the many magical humans she has encountered in New York City and beyond.
