In What I Did for… a Job, J. Elaine humorously reveals her unique approach to auditioning and what it took to book 10 Broadway Shows. “I had to learn to break the “rules” in order to be noticed. Many of my audition pieces were practically cabaret acts so I put them in a show.” says Broadway veteran. J. Elaine was last seen playing ‘Alexi Darling” in RENT: LIVE . “I’ve also added some inside scoop about doing RENT: LIVE”.
Back in New York, J. Elaine broke the mold by playing the iconic role of ‘Val” in the New York City Center production of A Chorus Line after having played ‘Connie’ in the 2007 revival and in the highly praised Hollywood Bowl production. Having played ‘Lily St. Regis’ in the 2013 revival of Annie, J. Elaine is no stranger to non traditional casting.

On TV she appeared in Grace and Frankie, 2 Broke Girls, School of Rock, 30 Rock and Law & Order: SVU and is featured in the documentary Every Little Step.
