About Jenn

I’m an NYC-based Director/Choreographer who thrives in collaborative settings. I love the work of making new musicals. I’ve created theatre all over the world, for all types of audiences and I find each new experience thrilling.

I am the current director for OTHER WORLD-A New Musical, which had an industry workshop in NYC, March 2023.

THE ILLUSIONISTS is a huge variety-style magic show that I have been the Associate Director/Choreographer of for the past seven years. I’ve been with it all 5 years on Broadway, playing the The Neil Simon, The Marquee, & The Palace. In 2023, I will be directing productions from the US to Mexico to the Middle East. Each new production has a new cast and a new version of the show. It is show where people fly, people are cut in half, people are hung upside-down & escape from a straight jacket while lit on fire! It is fast-paced in both performance & tech, a rock-n-roll style show in the truest sense with rotating casts and changing run orders. It has taken me to Broadway, London’s West End, the Sydney Opera House, multiple US Tours, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Mexico, Hong Kong & others.

In 2022, I was an Associate Creative Producer for AMERICA’S GOT TALENT Season 17 and AMERICA’S GOT TALENT ALL-STARS working with Brian Burke Creative. I am also an ongoing Associate Creative Producer for AGT SUPERSTARS LIVE! at The Luxor.

I’ve choreographed casts of over 100 in two Community Works productions at Williamstown Theatre Festival, where inclusivity was the driving force & inspiration. My steps have been performed by Dora The Explorer, SpongeBob Squarepants & Scooby-Doo, and seen on the stages of Theatre Calgary and The Old Globe in original productions.

Since their creation, I have been the Choreographer & current Creative Director for Disney Recording Group’s a cappella group, D CAPPELLA. We toured the US & Japan and have done everything from music videos to ABC Specials to the Hollywood Bowl.

Traveling the world with original children’s musicals, I’ve introduced national and international young audiences to the joys of musical theatre. I got to work with local casts & crews in their language, working for companies such as Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, Disney Creative Entertainment, and Warner Brothers Entertainment. I have worked with casts in English, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, German, Korean, Cantonese, Mandarin, Hebrew, and French. Inspiring the next generation of theatre goers & artists has always been important work for me.

Onboard the Norwegian Jewel you can experience my ongoing original production, LE CIRQUE BIJOU—a mix of aerial circus choreography, music & dance. It mixes the magic of circus while highlighting the best of the amazing International singers, dancers and gymnasts that I get to collaborate with. We create an immersive world that puts the audience right in the center of the action.

You can also see my direction in HEADLINERS onboard the newest ship in the OCEANIA fleet, OCEANIA VISTA 2023. It’s a video-heavy, hits-driven show where the cast are the stars!
