The show is inspired by the mythic &quot;27 Club,&quot; which consists of iconic musicians like Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Janice Joplin and others who all died when they were 27. Jeremy talks about where he got the idea from, the themes of addiction and recovery and how they resonate in his own life and the reactions he's gotten from people so far. He also talks about how Jaxx is able to mount such big, splashy musicals in such a modest space, why he likes to really challenge his cast dance-wise, casting a wide variety of types of performers in his shows and the alphabetized wall of Broadway Playbills that greet visitors when then arrive at Jaxx. Other topics include: falling in love with theater by playing Shepherd #3 in a Christmas pageant, dealing with imposter syndrome, why he loves getting notes, living his Theater Kid adult dream through Jaxx, how he makes Jaxx work as a business and that time he took one look at the costumes in Bette Midler's &quot;Hello Dolly&quot; and burst into tears. https://jaxxtheatricals.org/ DENNIS ANYONE? with Dennis Hensley http://dennishensley.libsyn.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/43339904/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/207757569
