I’ll be rejoining the creators of Monte Cristo for a reading of their newest musical, Starry based on the incredible, intersected lives of the Van Gogh brothers.

Evita is a Hit!
Posted in Theater, Watch me :) on February 17, 2017|
Besides the stars being amazing, “30 (!) golden-throated ensemble members…give us the best sung Evita since the astounding National Tour.” I’m not lying when I say you should really come hear this show. Tickets available here.
Evita Opens Tonight
Posted in Theater, Watch me :) on February 10, 2017|
I’ve never been so proud to be part of a production. It’s gorgeously staged, sung, directed, and acted. Check out the sizzle reel below, and be sure to get your tickets at Musical Theatre West.
“Easton & Zelonky are especially engaging as the guileless star-crossed lovers.” – Stage Raw
“Jillian Easton as Kate, the leader of the mechanical bull riding group, seized her opportunity to showcase her strong vocals in ‘Ride ‘Em.'” – Broadway World
“Fresh-faced and affable with a smooth, bluesy vocal quality, she proves it with fantastic flair, particularly by leading ‘Ride ‘Em’.” – Bucking Trends
“As for Easton, we saw her last in The Count of Monte Cristo – The Musical at HFF15, when I wrote: ‘She combined her strong voice with a very interesting look and performance, and was a delight to watch.’ The same was true here: a strong vocal performance, strong dance, and strong performance. Just watch her during ‘Ride ‘Em’.” – Ryan M Luevano, CA Highways
Only a few more weekends to catch me in Zanna Don’t! before I move on to Evita! You’re guaranteed to love this little show, so don’t miss it!
Zanna Don’t Opens this Weekend!
Posted in Theater, Watch me :) on January 12, 2017|
After five weeks of rehearsal, Zanna Don’t opens at Chromolume Theatre TOMORROW NIGHT and runs through February 5! This is such a heart-felt musical; it’s funny, sweet, and will make you laugh and cry. I play Kate, the girl who lives in an inverted world where everyone is gay, and realizes she’s in love with the unpopular (male) quarterback. Tickets available here!
I’m beyond excited to announce I have been offered a role in Musical Theater West‘s upcoming production of Evita this coming spring ’17. More details soon!
“Welcome to Heartsville High, set in a world where everyone is gay–well, almost everyone! The big-man-on-campus is the chess champion, and the captain of the football team is made cool by being cast as the lead in the school musical. The students write a controversial show called ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ about straight people in the military, which becomes the catalyst for a young man and woman to fall in love. Enter Zanna, a magical, musical fairy who, with a wave of his wand, brings true love to one and all!” I’ll be playing Kate, the popular girl who realizes she’s straight in a gay world. This is going to be fun. 😉
Five weeks left for this riotous Hip Hop Comic Book show! What the critics are saying:
“SPECTACULAR… WITTY… An enthusiastic cast…and efficient production.” – Stage Raw
“The show is a joy ride with cutting edge music and…stand out performances.” – Hollywood Revealed
“GO! EXUBERANT… ENGAGING… Staged with skillful imagination by director Kiff Scholl.” – LA Weekly
“Great fun! Music is Amazing. Guardians of the Galaxy meets the Black Eyed Peas” — Rolling Stone
Check out the Siamese Sex Show
Posted in Theater, Watch me :) on October 6, 2016|
In the dystopian future, Monocorp, a mysterious military/industrial/ entertainment complex, fabricates a global epidemic condemning the most innocent form of intimacy as deadly. As the world teeters on the brink of apocalypse, four fallen pop stars must overcome their difference and ban together to stop Monocorp’s evil agenda. The show humorously explores the importance of connecting and potential loss of intimacy in an increasingly technological world.
“Siamese Sex Show is a living comic book that satirizes pop music, technology, and of course sex,” says director Kiff Scholl. “Enter the underground world of the Siamese Sex Show — a sexy, shadowy, decadent futuristic cabaret that will keep you coming back for more.”
I play Vivian, the right-hand woman to the CEO of Monocorp, but I may be up to more than I seem. Tickets available here.
That’s a mouthful. Siamese Sex Show is the world premiere hip hop musical that blends Lady Gaga-esque popstar theatricality with Blade Runner’s dark comic vision. It’s going to be super weird, but a lot of fun. Opens in October at The Lounge Theatre.
