She was also the Eva cover on the European tour of Evita and performed the role of Sally Bowles in the European Tour of Cabaret. Jenny also had the incredible honor of working with Sir Elton John and Sir Tim Rice in the original company of Disney’s Aida with Heather Headley. She has also been seen at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego and The Roundabout Theater in Burt Bacharach’s What The World Needs Now, directed and choreographed by the late, beautiful Gillian Lynne.
