Well it looks like Jess' next project is going to be with Jerry Mitchell.  I'm guessing it's going to be Becoming Nancy.  In the Backstage listing, a few of the roles that require a strong alto belt was listed as being offered.  Seems like Jerry is trying to get Jess her first Tony nom.

I have no clue, to be honest, but I wish people would stop saying Waitress. Jerry Mitchell has absolutely no connection to Waitress. People need to stop linking the two. Maybe she's collaborating with Jerry Mitchell first and then going into Waitress or something, but not right now. Also--Becoming Nancy? What's that? A segue from Playing Nancy from Groundhog Day?

Becoming Nancy is a stage adaptation of a YA novel about a high school boy who is cast as Nancy in a production of Oliver.  Its premiering in Sept at the Alliance Theater in Georgia with eyes on a Broadway run after.

...Ah. Thank you for the clarification! **I didn't really think it had anything to do with GHD.

I mean Jerry's post says "so thrilled I get to create a new musical with @jessicavosk" so I doubt that means she's touring with a previously opened show.

Isn’t Jerry directing Once Upon a One More Time premiering in Chicago this fall? I’ve heard worse ideas than Jessica Vosk singing Brittany Spears songs...

I’ve lost faith in Jerry after Pretty Woman. Just an awful show from top to bottom. And I can’t imagine him as the right director for such a heavy handed sounding show.

No. The director is the same director of Rock of Ages. Don’t know her name, though.

Haven’t seen it yet, but this song they released is better than most musical theatre songs that debuted on broadway last season. Cannot wait for this one.
