Jinkx Monsoon

wanted to play and the fact that I get to play them these days like I'm playing Judy Garland in a show about Judy Garland you know that's not something I foresaw for myself but I always thought it was possible the world convinced me it wouldn't be possible and then I had to reconvince myself that it absolutely is

No.

I have been considering Judy and I walking kind of hand in hand right now.

Like, I've just welcomed her into my life.

The problem is I don't have a lot of time to travel if it's not for work.

Like, six days out of the week is planned by my team these days.

I get my one day to have dinner.

Oh.

with accomplices.

But I'm teasing.

Again, I love my work.

But no, I have done some... Shall I distract your team and then you run out the back door and get on your broomstick?

No, I did some rituals welcoming Judy into my life because my own research with Judy made me realize we just have a lot in common, completely different people, and yet our lives parallel each other in a lot of ways.

And I have these moments on stage that feel like absolute synchronicity where...

excuse me, where Jinx the actress is singing the song, hoping that she's telling the story, hoping that it sounds good, hoping that the audience will overlook any like voice cracks if it's like one of those days.

And those moments where I'm just like, I know that I am just wringing out what I have for my audience because I think they deserve it.

Where I'm like, yeah, I'm just in sync with where Judy would have been in this moment, you know?

And so it kind of feels very cosmic.

And then it feels really special.

I have a hard time seeing ghosts.
