Jackson described appearing on Broadway as his personal fantasy in his recently released memoir “Lovely One.”
“I, a Miami girl from a humble background with an unrequited love of theater, dreamed of one day going up to the highest court in the land — and I said so in one of my application stories,” Jackson wrote. “I expressed my desire to attend Harvard as I believed it would help me ‘fulfill my dream of becoming the first black, female Supreme Court justice to appear on the Broadway stage.’
No details about Jackson’s role have been released yet.
“&Juliet” is a Broadway jukebox musical that reimagines the title character from the Shakespearean classic “Romeo & Juliet” if he had survived a tragic ending. Featuring songs by Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and more.
