Get Jen Cody Out of The Chorus!

Does she prefer to play chorus roles? I think she is an amazing performer, and deserves to have more crucial roles. I saw her as Dainty June in Gypsy several years ago and she was phenomenal.

She IS great. In EVERYTHING.

I want to see her, Hunter, Sutton, and Christian Borle all starring in a show together.

[title of show] on Broadway. it's time. believe.

I doubt she prefers chorus roles...but she's probably taking whatever she can get!

yeah!!!! I was stage crew when she was Ado Annie in Oklahoma at Music Circus and she practically stole the show. She is so great!

"I want to see her, Hunter, Sutton, and Christian Borle all starring in a show together. "

I saw them at the SNOOPY benefit and they were MAGIC up on that stage together...One of the most fun shows I've seen.

I'd love to see her play Gladys!

I was at the SNOOPY concert as well! Jen was hysterical! I couldn't stop laughing. Not to mention that Hunter was soooooo cute as Linus (when he wrapped the blanket around his head -- classic!), Sutton was a fierce Peppermint Patty, and you couldn't ask for more from Christian in his ADORABLE portrayal of Snoopy! What a great show that was. I wonder if it was videotaped. I'd also love a CD of the music. (sigh). That was definitely one of my best theatre experiences since I moved here. Jen Cody is extremely talented, and I really hope she gets her big break some time soon! We love you, Jen!

She was the only one I know who made the character of Cha-Cha in Grease, memorable. She was a hoot!! She and Jon Secada are the only ones I remember from that production (Rosie was gone by then).

Jen played an adorable Chrissy in NSMT's production of Hair a few years back.

Cody, I believe, is 4'11".

She's a scene-stealer in her small role as Poopsie in THE PAJAMA GAME. She is also the Gladys understudy. I'd love to see her perform that role one night.

I'd love to see her as Gladys, too.

Do you think her height has anything to do with her lack of leading roles?

I've only seen her in TABOO, so I don't know her work really, other than that she is a huge ball of energy that made the best out of her otherwise character-less part.

Her little bits on the Taboo cast recording make me piss myself.

When I saw Urinetown she completely stole the show as Little Becky Two Shoes. "No one is innocent?! Who the hell does she think she is?!"

Which lines on the TABOO cast recording are Jen's?

I can't remember off the top of my head, but I know she has a part in Fame Game. I think she screams I love you, or something like that.

The really obnoxious Sharon-Osbourne-sounding "I LOVE YOU!" during Fame Game.

Priceless.

my life is brilliant. my love is pure.

I haven't seen PAJAMA GAME. Is Poopsie the kind of role that could possibly be awarded a Featured Actress Tony nomination?

Perhaps she is better suited for stealing the chorus?

Some actresses do great jobs stealing the show in minor roles - but couldn't carry a show.

Cody couldn't carry a show, but she could do featured roles with a few songs. Again, her Dainty June was great.

I went to the same college as her and she played Gladys in their strong production of Pajama Game and was outstanding!
