Show People with Paul Wontorek Interview: Jessie Mueller of "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever"

Jessie Mueller knocked Broadway's socks off in her Main Stem debut as Melinda Wells, a 1940s jazz singer who defies time and space to woo a lovesick psychiatrist, in the recent revival of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Mueller recently stopped by the Broadway.com studio to chat with Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek about her recent Tony nomination, meeting her idol Audra McDonald at the Tony nominee press reception and her plans to bring her boyfriend, Chicago-based actor Andy Truschinski as her Tony date. Mueller also discussed her upcoming role as Cinderella in the "cool and gritty" new production of Into the Woods in Central Park this summer and reminisced about acting with her sister Abby in Chicago.

"Her hair will be did"

[@robertgold3868]

I saw her in ON A CLEAR DAY (which I loved), and I knew she would be a big star. She was fantastic.

[@shawnag84]

I just saw her in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical here in San Francisco. She is AMAZING! I can't wait until Broadway can see her in this role. I think the show is going to do very well.

I love this interview.

[@catwalkcanada]

What a lovely woman and a great talent! There definitely needs to be an OBC recording.

[@blancheduboisapologist]

You should interview her again!

[@jaspar38]

It may just be the hair, but holy Alice Ripley!

[@barbaragurskey8885]

In awe of Audra (who isn't), and she beat her out for a Tony! Holy mixed emotions!!!

[@Itisthatdeepdives]

no she didn't, her and audra have never even been in the same category.

[@lyannenescro1203]

She didn’t beat her out out. Audra was nominated for best actress and Jessie was nominated for best actress in a musical. They both won in their categories.

[@ihollandful]

Does she have a sister named Jillian?? If so, I saw her in Flashdance and she was AMAZING!! I'm going to meet her in a week.

[@tessaokeefe9866]

She does have a sister but her name is Abby not Jillian

[@yeetfetus5269]

I believe her mom is named jill

[@cierra6940]

FETUSSSSS
