Ketanji Brown Jackson is set to fulfill a long-held dream this Saturday, stepping on to Broadway in a one-night performance of the musical & Juliet.
The 54-year-old liberal supreme court justice will take on an ensemble role in the show, realising a goal she first articulated in her Harvard University application essay. Jackson will appear in the 8pm ET performance and participate in a post-show talkback with audience members.
In an Instagram post, the show’s producers referenced Jackson’s memoir Lovely One, celebrating her teenage fantasy of becoming the first Black female supreme court justice to appear on a Broadway stage. The production noted they would help “make that teenage dream come true”.
& Juliet offers a modern reimagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, featuring pop hits from artists like Britney Spears and Katy Perry. The musical rewrites the tragic original ending, exploring an alternative narrative for Juliet.
