Hello, Everyone! It’s been quite a long time! My mother is practically writhing in her seat these days to read another one of my, er, artful blogs. I am writing to let you all know that October 14th will, sadly, be my last day with the Jersey Boys touring company. After much consideration, and with the blessing of the entire creative staff, I have decided to give my notice. I will next be taking up residence in Los Angeles. The thought of leaving my friends, apartment, and former life in New York is daunting, but the prospect of the future keeps me optimistic and excited. Who doesn’t love decorating a new apartment???
I want to thank you for all your support. This past year has been a crazy fantastic ride, and I am going to miss the cast, the crew, the show, the fans, everything. But when you know, you know. Right? There is no real rhyme or reason to my decisions sometimes other than the fact that I feel it’s time to start something new. Complacency is my biggest fear, and I will not succumb! Rest assured I will be updating much more often about my new endeavors. I will report all the juicy gossip and, as always, have something to say about it. Look out Perez! (Seriously, I am starting to get a little addicted to his site. It’s friggin’ hilarious!)
Speaking of which, have you guys caught the new Britney video!? YIKES. As Bergen says, she can’t catch a break. It’s HORRIBLE! I guess we are all going to watch the poor girl until she hits rock bottom and finally gets some help. Hopefully, she won’t kill herself on the way. We watched a clip of her performing with Michael Jackson at his birthday concert or whatever in NYC from five years back. She looked FIERCE. So sad. And while I’m on the topic of Britney, I have to say, I’m not mad at Avril for her new image. Who cares? I mad at her for her song sucking. Maybe it’ll grow on me…probably not. What I DO like, however, is Whoopy on The View, Ugly Betty, and the fact that I can start counting down the days until Bush’s ass is kicked out of the White House. Good times.
I have an insane amount of pictures to share, but no time now to upload anything. Early curtain in Tempe! I’ll put them up soon! That’s all for now. You know how I hate long winded anything.
BYE BYE, BABY! BABY, BYE BYE!!!

Aww, it’s finally good to hear from you!
I’m sad that you’re leaving! You were the best Mary Delgado I’ve seen! But with your credit from Jersey Boys, you’re going to go places =)
Take care!

Hi Jackie,
I’m sad to hear you’re leaving. but glad to know you’re excited about moving to LA. I’m from OC. Would like to let you know that your portrayal of Mary Delgado is fabulous. I love your performance – from the dinner with Frankie to My Eyes Adored You. Really real.
I wish you the best in your endeavors. You are a very talented actress. I can see you in Ugly Betty – that would be so cool! Good luck!

No one commented yet? I think everyone is in shock! You have a ton of talent. You can sing, you can dance, and you can act. You are an excellent comedienne. We all hope you get some really good work to do. Go, gurl!

What’s up with you?! At last an update! You mum was not the only one waiting for an update! I quite liked your interpretation of Mary Delgado, you showed a sweet side to her when she first met Frankie.
I think you and Mr. Bergen were talking about Michael Jackson’s Anniversary Special (CBS) from so long ago. I remember seeing two versions of that special/performance (at that time, Ms. Spears had a special from Viva Las Vegas on HBO), one with a back-up dancer on the first run and when it was re-broadcast, with Ms. Spears herself.
I love Whoppi Goldberg on The View too, isn’t she great?!
Break a leg as you go on in your journey, I am quite sure an excellent opportunity(ies) await(s). One of my friends in the industry thinks you are a very excellent actress from Chi-town! I agree with June in the first post–you are going to go places!
Keep us posted! Ciao, Ciao, Ciao Baby!

Break a leg, and cheers to you sweet Jackie!!
Ciao!

Hi Jackie !
Just wanted to let you know you are the best Mary Delgado for me and my family. So sad that you decided to leave Jersey Boys. But you have to do what you have to do. You are loaded with talents. I hope to see you on television maybe ? ? ?
If ever you will be in a new production, would you let us know through your website ? We live in LA so at least you won’t be so far away. Maybe you’ll be in a new show.
Best regards and Good Luck for always.
