A career in musical theatre is hard, no matter how wonderful your training is or how developed your skills are, because of the vulnerability it requires, the rejection you have to continually face, plus all the fierce competition at every audition, and the head-games and negative self-talk we get into with ourselves.

Part 1 - This week I talk with Jacqueline B Arnold, a versatile triple threat, who is one of the iconic original (and current) stars of Moulin Rouge, about her unconventional path to Broadway… about her personal journey and personal struggle(s)… about the catch 22 of rejection (”you can’t really be that mad about it… but you kinda are…”) and about balance and authenticity.
Be sure to listen to find out what groundbreaking show Jackie booked after showing up at a cattle call with a blurry headshot in which she sported a Leopard Print Jacket, and bleach blonde hair with grown out roots…. And did she really get a callback from singing 8 words….…In a bathroom?
Jackie’s warmth and wisdom permeates right to the heart as she reminds us “You need to remember where you came from,” and does her best to “live Jackie Arnold’s life as much as [she] possibly can.”
