Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is rapidly crossing things off her bucket list.
Become “the first Black, female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage?” Check — at least on Dec. 14 when she makes her Broadway debut in “& Juliet,” per Entertainment Weekly.
She will perform for one night in an undisclosed walk-on role.
Right after her 8 p.m. performance in the Tony-nominated musical, Jackson will take part in a discussion with the audience at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
Jackson wrote in her memoir “Lovely One” that wanted to “fulfill my fantasy of becoming the first Black, female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage.”
In 2016, the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg starred for one night as the Duchess of Krakenthorp in the Washington National Opera’s production of “The Daughter of the Regiment.”
The musical asks the question of what would’ve happened if Juliet didn’t to kill herself and left on her own adventure.
