Ketanji Brown Jackson Makes Broadway Debut in ‘& Juliet’

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fulfilled a lifelong dream on December 14, 2024, by making her Broadway debut in the hit musical & Juliet. The 54-year-old Justice performed in a one-night-only show of the modern reimagining of Romeo and Juliet, stepping away from her Supreme Court duties for the unique opportunity.

In an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, Justice Jackson shared her excitement and reflection on the moment, saying, “I think that it means that anything is possible.” She noted how extraordinary it felt to achieve both her career and personal dreams within a short span of time. Behind-the-scenes footage from the & Juliet team captured her preparation and sheer joy in embracing the experience.

Justice Jackson, appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022, made history as the first Black woman to serve on the Court. Her Broadway debut offered audiences a rare glimpse of the trailblazing jurist outside the solemnity of her role, celebrating her passion for the arts and her inspiring journey.
