- Over a decade after the world first came to know and love her on TV, Jinkx Monsoon is back onstage tackling one of her bucketlist roles.
"I always dreamed of [having a career on Broadway]. There was a point in high school when I really convinced myself that it was possible. Then there was a point in college when I thought I had to give up on this dream," Jinkx explained to BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "Then I did Drag Race and I've had the privilege of getting to do so many things in the last decade. Now... it's crazy, but I'm exactly where I always dreamt of being. It just took 36 years."
Jinkx is currently starring as Audrey in the acclaimed off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors opposite Corbin Bleu and James James Carpinello.
The honor of taking on such a beloved character is not lost on Jinkx. "I've talked a lot about how I feel like drag queens are living time capsules. We keep moments of culture alive that are important to us, because we feel like other generations missed it- we keep these moments alive for the benefit of our community," she explained. "I think [that you should] come with an open mind, and open heart, and with your phone off!"
In this video, watch as Jinkx chats more about her take on Audrey, rejoining the cast of Chicago later this year, and so much more! - Розваги
Jinkx needs a BAFTA tv award for her Maestro role in Dr Who! Watch it if you haven’t yet-astounding performance and hope she does that role again.
Everything about Maestro screams to me that they will bring back Maestro at-least once if not more in the coming seasons.
It reminded me why I love Russell T Davis doctor who so much, and obviously just how absolutely amazing Jinkx is as a performer and actor.
Truly great and really something special
I love love love this human!! So amazing!! Making HERstory AGAIN!!
Me too!!!😊
She's the real deal and Little Shop of Horrors is right up her alley ❤👍
For those who say Jinkx is not sober here, i do not feel that . I feel Jinkx was very contemplative and thoughtful and gave insightful answers.
They’re not drunk or high, just tired, I think.
I love this little witch so much! She's pure magic!
I'm so proud of Jinkx! Happy for her!
I also can't wait to see her in this years season of *Dr Who* which starts 11th of May, 2024.
I get to see it on May 10th at 7 pm. I am so excited!!!
@@readytosign You lucky person you! Are you in the UK? I'm in Australia so we are about 10 hours ahead of the UK (it's a timey-whimey thing) and so we get shows a day later. Either way, can't wait!
Ahhhhhh yes ma'am so deserved
I saw her in little shop - twice. S he was incredible- heart breaking, vulnerable, hilarious, and, of course, edible. Jinkx is a true artist. She vibrates on a higher plane than the rest of us. She’s just a lovely, unique gift to the world, and her star is on the rise.
JINKX ! YOU'RE THE BEST❤
It's amazing how Jinkx brings her art from a real place. What a wonderful artist full of passion and understanding of every project. 💖💖✨✨💖💖
Ugh I love her so much ❤
I’m so proud of them. Their talent was obvious on season 5 of Drag Race. I was so happy they won. Drag Race winners seem to plateau after their season, especially prior to the 9th. Winning Queen of Queens launched their career to where it need to go. Just flipping brilliant. Congrats, Maestro. 💙
Knock 'em dead babe!
So happy & proud of you. ❤
Love , love love her. I love when people do what they love to do and are accepted when doing it! Hell Yeah!!!
Glad to see jinkx getting her flowers! So very talented
Squeeeeeee! Omfg. I am too excited for this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jinkx you are simply brilliant. I am so happy for you and our community is celebrating you! And "Somewhere That's Green".....damn. Brava!
You deserve it all. You are sooooo talented, a great comic, singer and a lovely person. Do more!
The queen of queens!!!!
When she attacked him after she used the word "craft" 😂😂😂
Jinkxy I literally feel the exact same about that word! 😂
To all these nasty people leaving comments about another person’s sobriety - you know your beeswax?? Why don’t you mind it!
Clearly you don’t know much about Jinkx, and neither do I, but what I do know because she’s shared it, is that she’s been sober from everything but weed for 3+ years. She takes her art very seriously and is a consummate professional.
If you take nothing else away from my words, remember this.
Kindness costs you nothing.
Have you watched her documentary? Where she talks about her mum, her upbringing and her family addiction issues?
I am very concerned about Jinkx after watching this interview. Something is not right! This concern comes from a place of kindness, not nastiness, because I care about her and wish her the best.❤
Well said . I am by no means an expert. But my mum was an alcoholic and I have my own addiction problems ( opiates). But I agree CameronMccraken_Art , the worst thing in the world to do is to question someone’s soberitey . It’s a very destructive thing and damaging if jinx happens to read those comments. Unless you know the person on a personal basis i.e family, close friends, then please keep your comments to how fantastic their performance is and will be .
❤
@@bethcushway458 She's always like this. Why are you concerned right now and not any other time she's been just like this?
What a special gift she is to the world. She is a true artist and bring so much depth to this character. Cheering you on from Montana! I so wish i could go see this production!
Richard !! Awesome to see you interviewing Jinx ❤❤
we like to see it. more unhinged jinkx interviews we like. happy to live vicariously through her, maybe we'll see a future where she gets to sing "somewhere thats wet"
My swamp witch mother diva!! ❤️
Still the very best of the drag icons.
Jinkx still has a bit of the lisp that the character Audrey has-- seems she was just either performing or in rehearsal cuz that happened to me when I had to play a character with an accent for a play. I sorta walked out of the play and I ordered at a waffle house in a british accent ;-;
I love this! this mans smile is very nice and I love Jinkx
I love Jinkx! I wish I could watch it. LSOH is one of my favourite movies and plays. Steve Martin as the dentist is iconic. Feed me, Seymour!
Jinkx is becoming the persona that gives Jinkx power and substance. I so appreciate seeing Jinkx emerge and be taken seriously with Jerrick and Hera standing in behind her saying “you got this, eat it, bitch!!”
-Stella Zafella in drag since 1976💋😎
We love you Jinkxy! ❤
Hello Audrey hello jinx I love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is my hope that somewhere, Howard is over the moon about this casting
Okay but why is the host (almost) literally a white RuPaul?
Came here to say this 🤣👏🏼
Gorgeous. Audrey as Fitzgerald's "beautiful fool" is a untapped interpretation.
How does Jinxx look the same age as her initial run while I've aged at least a quarter century 😢
The Doctor Who algorithm sent me. Love her!
We've forever been crazy for Jinkx Monsoon! That said, we would have enjoyed the interview more had she been sober. -oxO( ❤ )Oxo-
Wonder what old Roxxxy Andrews is up to these days?
for a second I thought this guy was the white Rupaul
Why is that white RuPaul?
Why are you whatever the fuck you are?
Jinkx is hammered here
Jinx is sober
@@JanelSantaCruz not here
@@fountainchain126 weed?
No she is not.
@@Alex-vd6ve she is
Is Jynx drunk?
Why isn't she blonde? Audrey is blonde
Sweetie in Broadway, we were wigs but anyway in this production, she’s not even blonde
She's not even a woman.
Jinkx is clearly obliterated in this interview. I love Jinkx and am excited to see them succeed. I hope they don't ruin it with substance abuse.
you try doing the press circuit dry!!!
@@NIGHTGUYRYAN I hope that's all it is. I really admire Jinkx. Definitely seemed like they were under the influence of something in this interview though
She is not under the influence here, she is just tired, you try doing eight shows a week. Jinkx has been sober from all things minus weed going on 3+ years now. She has talked about her struggles with substance abuse in the past numerous times. She takes her art seriously.
@@schripppy I hope you're right. I'm definitely rooting for Jinkx
@@jacobstoner208 Hi there. Just letting you know that this is her natural affect.
Is she drunk?
All the time
@@JesuslavesIs this sort of lie the best you can do?
I’ve noticed Jinkx’s laugh is getting more and more extreme, its starting to feel very uncomfortable listening.
No… NO! 🛑 THIS NOW!
Sorry darling, if you want to head back to the bigotry of the 1950s I suggest you get building your tardis. Now off you pop
