Episode Summary
Aisha Jackson is in our “Performer Spotlight” and she talks to us about her time auditioning for regional theaters, off-Broadway and Broadway shows like Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. As the first African-American woman to portray the role of Anna on the Broadway stage in Disney’s Frozen, Aisha gives us insight into auditioning for roles that go against traditional casting models.
Intro to this Episode
In this episode of “In The Holding Room” Princess Month continues with the performer who was the first African-American woman to play the role of Princess Anna in the original Broadway cast of Disney’s Frozen, Aisha Jackson. She has performed in regional theaters in such shows as A Bronx Tale, Memphis, Once on this Island, and Legally Blonde. Off-Broadway she was seen in Invisible Thread (aka Witness Uganda). On Broadway, she was also in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, and in the original Broadway cast of Frozen. She gives amazing advice on how to handle rejection by turning it into a positive, as well as how to audition for roles that are historically cast in a more “traditional way.”
