Jessica Sherman is shocked to find herself in the director's chair, having been undermining better directors than herself for years now. Most recently, she upstaged and pulled focus in Crazy for You with Drayton Entertainment and tried to reinvent Donna's emotional backstory in Mamma Mia at the Thousand Islands Playhouse. Perhaps most notably, she was inconsistent at best as Heidi in Dear Evan Hansen in Toronto and all over North America. But her real love has always been in developing new works, some of which even survived her daily criticisms to have successful runs, such as Kelly v Kelly (Musical Stage Company), Pollyanna (Yonge Street Theatricals/Theatre Aquarius) and The Stationmaster (Tristan Bates Theatre, UK). She thinks this whole adventure is Karma, and accepts the shoe is now on the other foot and is thrilled to have this cast undermine her authority right back.
