Ms. Broadway April 2012
Jessica Phillips
WHY SHE'S MS. BROADWAY: Well, these days it is pretty rare for a "Broadway" name to replace a "star" name in the leading role of a Broadway musical. But that is exactly what has happened to Ms. April 2012! When her current show, Leap of Faith, was out of town, the female lead was a waitress and was played by Brooke Shields. Now, the female lead is the town sheriff and played by Broadway favorite, Jessica Phillips! Back when Jesus Christ Superstar was celebrating 25 years, she appeared in the Broadway cast, and also was in the casts of all three versions of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Most recently, in between gigs with her country music duo, 10th and Carlisle, she has made quite a splash in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and made a critically acclaimed turn as Alice Ripley's understudy in next to normal. But right now, she's previewing and looking forward to a huge Broadway opening with her name right up there with one Raul Esparza! Can you think of a better reason to name Jessica Phillips Ms. April 2012?
