Jackie Hoffman is long on comic talent and vocal power; short on patience with many things. She is one of the stage and screen’s favorite scene-stealers and an Emmy nominee. Bay Street Theater’s audiences will remember Jackie Hoffman from her starring role in the 2013 Mainstage Production of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.
After shining in supporting roles in Hairspray, Xanadu, The Addams Family, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Hoffman made the transition to leading lady in the critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress. She is also a fan favorite at Joe’s Pub, where she has performed a string of bawdy, vaudevillian solo shows, including The Kvetching Continues, the venue’s longest-running show. She received rave reviews for her recent role on Broadway as the comical Mrs. Teavee in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
