Writing
that
you
want
to
be
the
“first
Black,
female
Supreme
Court
justice
to
appear
on
a
Broadway
stage”
on
your
college
application
seems
like
the
kind
of
cutesy
statement
that
gets
admissions
officers
to
remember
you
and
your
varied
interest.
Because,
I
mean…
those
goals
aren’t
two
great
tastes
that
taste
great
together
—
those
are
pretty
disparate
career
goals.
But
Ketanji
Brown
Jackson
is
not
a
mere
mortal.
KBJ
wrote
those
words
in
her
Harvard
University
application.
And
now
they’re
coming
true.
The
Supreme
Court
justice
is
making
a
one-night-only
appearance
on
the
Broadway
stage
this
month
in
&
Juliet.
The
jukebox
musical
posits
what
might
have
happened
to
Juliet
if
she
didn’t
kill
herself
after
the
events
of
Romeo
&
Juliet,
set
to
a
rocking
pop
score.
Brown
Jackson’s
ensemble
role
was
created
specifically
for
the
justice,
and
audience
members
will
also
be
able
to
attend
a
Q&A:
The
producers
have
announced
that
Jackson’s
special
appearance
will
occur
during
the
production’s
8
p.m.
show
on
Saturday,
December
14.
Following
the
show,
audience
members
will
be
able
to
stay
for
a
talkback
with
the
Justice.
If
you’re
lucky
enough
to
score
tickets
for
this
very
special
performance,
maybe
you
should
ask
Brown
Jackson
about
her
powers
of
visualization
—
she’s
got
that
on
lockdown.
