Full Version: Jenna Lee James
For any fans of hers, she is going to star in Joseph starting on the 14th Jan 08. :-)
Ooo Sounds brilliant, is there an article about it somewhere?
As who? The Narrator? And in the West End or on tour?
She should be the next Elphaba, really.

As Narrator on Westend apparently

She should have been the FIRST Elphaba.
(no, I'm not over it yet)
This is now confirmed. From Jenna's blog - http://web.mac.com/jennaleejames/Jennas_Journal/Home.html
It appears that Lee Mead is off the week she starts, aswell.

So, to all of you who keep asking what is next......................I will be returning to the west end stage in the New Year!!
I will be taking over the role of 'Narrator' in Joseph at the Adelphi theatre, London on Monday 14th January 2008. Performing alongside Lee Mead who continues in the title role until October 2008 and who I have to say is fantastic!!
I'm really excited to get my teeth into something new and something very different to what I've been doing previously. It's a fun show with an amazing score and I can't believe I only saw it recently for the first time ever!!! For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a show for all the family. No matter what age you are. You will definately come out of the theatre singing at least one song from the show or even dancing like the man infront of me was, who was in his 30's!!
I start rehearsals on Monday 17th December so my christmas is going to be a busy one learning lots of new songs and the colours of the coat.....how many????!!!!
To book tickets go to www.adelphi-theatre.com
You'd better be quick because the Joseph tickets seem to be some of the hottest in London and not easy to get hold of. Hope to see some of you there in the new year!!
Go go go Joseph............

I have tickets for this in April. I'm really looking forward to seeing her and (hopefully) Lee Mead.
Im going to the April 5th matinee so i really hope i see her, saw her in WWRY and loved her!

This, I disagree with. I don't think she has the range of Kerry Ellis.
what have you heard her sing?

Jenna? Well I saw her in WWRY a few times during her run as Meat and Scaramouche. I just find that Kerry always did have a stronger voice.
Jenna is fantastic but as I said, I prefer Kerry
Out of curiousity - has anyone seen Jenna in the Narrators role yet?
I have a couple of times. She is totally awesome. Makes the role exciting and adds bits to the songs that other narrators haven't done in the past. Definitely worth going to see for her alone!

I saw her in February and thought she was excellent and really seemed to enjoy herself.
Saw her on the 28th: AMAZING! Hit all the notes, very very powerful voice!
What is Lucy Sinclair like as Meat??
I also saw Jenna as Narrator on Feb 28th and thought she was amazing! 
Loved her voice!
Loved her voice!
I saw Jenna as the Narrator and thought that she was AWESOME - she stole the show from Lee there's no doubt about it. She would have made an amazing Elphaba - I'll be interested to see t she does next...

On another thread, it was posted that she is now staying with Joseph though its unknown for how long.
i went and saw Joseph on monday evening with my mum,it was my going to the theatre since i was like 8 or 9 years old(am now nearly 24) and thought jenna was amazing, she totally blew me away, between her and lee they just made the night for me,i wanna go back and see it again, i hope she atleast stays untill lee is suppost to leave in october, coz i wouldnt wanna see anyone else as narrator untill he leaves coz together they are just fab
Jenna is one of the best female west end performers at the moment! Her vocals and acting are out of this world! Ive seen her 6 times in WWRY and she took me backstage and no have seen her 3 times in Joseph! Shes my idol! really someone 2 look up 2! Commin in2 the west end wioth no acting school trainin! She awesome!
Only a matter of time before jenna moves to wicked - maybe not this year but it will happen.
I love jenna so much! I've not seen her in Joseph yet due to living in manchester but does anyone know by any chance what she's going to be doing after joseph as her contract runs out in june if i remember right....
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!
She isn't leaving in June anymore.
Went to see Joseph on Saturday 12th April and have to say I was well impressed with Jenna as narrator, first time seeing Lee who was great too! I've been to see WWRY several times and loved Jenna in that but think i actually prefer her in Joseph
I Love Jenna and think she would be fab in Wicked as well!
Yeah I would have to agree with you there, I also think she would be great in Wicked. Fingers crossed that happens sometime in the future!!
I saw her last week in Joseph and thought she sang the socks off everyone else on that stage - just terrific!
joseph site had finally got images up of jenna, albeit only two
Can anyone confirm that Jenna has now extended?
Yes, she's definitely staying after June, however, according to the notes on See, Fiona Reyes will be the narrator at 2 performance per week (Mondays and Thursdays) as opposed to just one from June 9th. I'm guessing the arrangement encouraged both of them to extend, they're both fabulously talented!
Will she stay til January as Lee?
Just found a recent interview given by Jenna on the fresh faces section on broadwayworld, for anyone thats interested. 
would you mind sending the link..??
thanks

I missed the interview, was gutted. Is there anywhere to listen online?
I'm dying to see Jenna in Joseph, I saw her in Rock You and I think she's awesome.
