  • S9 Ep49: Jordan Frazier, star of Hamilton, I'm Every Woman & You Are Here
    Oct 17 2024

    Jordan Frazier is In The Frame!

    Jordan recently completed her run as Angelica in the West End production of Hamilton.

    After growing up in the US, Jordan spent several years performing on multiple highly acclaimed cruise ships. After moving to London, Jordan was cast as Zahara in the international tour of Bat Out Of Hell. Despite completing rehearsals, sadly the production didn't open due to the Covid-19 theatre shutdown.

    Jordan starred alongside Wendi Peters as Ruby in You Are Here at the Southwark Playhouse before joining Hamilton as the understudy for all three Schuyler Sisters. She later became the Schuyler Sisters standby and then took over as Angelica full-time. Most recently Jordan has been workshopping the Chaka Khan musical I'm Every Woman, starring as Chaka.

    Jordan's theatre credits also include: River in In Pieces, Sweet Thang in Nina Simone: Four Women, Lola in Damn Yankees and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

    Jordan is fluent in Spanish - her Spanish theatre credits include Tiffany in Confessions of Women from East L.A. Jordan has also completed several cruise contracts as a Principal singer.

    Her screen credits include Ava in Sun Rosè & Romance, Jenny in Love At First Sight (Netflix), Jacquie in Feuds (Disney+), Woman in Power XL (advert) and Toyota Commercial (USA advert).

    Having premiered on Broadway in 2018, Mean Girls opened in London earlier this year. Tina Fey adapted the show from her 2004 film, collaborating with Jeff Richmond who composed the music and Nell Benjamin who wrote the lyrics. The show is directed and choreographed by Casey Nicholaw.

    Elena made her professional debut as Lauren in the West End production of Kinky Boots (Adelphi Theatre) and went on to play Éponine in the West End production of Les Misérables (Queen’s Theatre).

    Elena starred as Scaramouche in We Will Rock You, initially on tour before transferring with the show into the West End for a run at the London Coliseum. Last year Elena originated the role of Twiggy in Close Up: The Twiggy Musical at the Menier Chocolate Factory.

    In this episode, Elena discusses all things Mean Girls, including auditioning for the show, why she wanted to play Janis and how she got to grips with her song "I'd Rather Be Me". Elena also discusses her path into theatre, the hardest role she has played and what she's learnt along the way.
