Jesmille Darbouze

Coming off of 6 Tony nominations including "Best Play Revival," we would love to arrange an interview with you and accomplished actor, singer, dancer and professor Jesmille Darbouze to discuss her hit play A Doll's House, currently showing at the illustrious Hudson Theatre in NYC.  Jesmille is available to discuss the undeniable success of her revival play, representation in the Broadway/theatre world as a proud Afro-Latina woman, the imposter syndrome she sometimes feels as a minority in the industry as well as her career overall.

Jesmille stars alongside Academy Award® winner Jessica Chastain in the thrilling reinvention of Ibsen's A Doll's House. Directed by Tony® nominee Jamie Lloyd, one of contemporary theater's most revolutionary auteurs, and adapted by acclaimed playwright Amy Herzog, this new production makes freshly relevant a story that shocked audiences and brought forth a new era of theater. Written in 1879 by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, "A Doll's House" is a three-act play about a housewife who becomes disillusioned and dissatisfied with her condescending husband. In the 2023 revival, Nora Helmer, a childlike wife and mother accustomed to an existence built around her husband Torvald, comes to confront the truth of her marriage. A Doll's House has so far received mostly positive reviews and described as a "Compelling, surgically precise revival" by the NYT, Bloomberg used the word "transcendent" to describe their experience, while Variety  praised the production as "a Broadway staging that brings sparkling clarity to a classic."

When the Pandemic hit in 2020, Jesmille had her second child and went back to school for nursing. She booked a Hallmark Channel film in 2021 and later began teaching at Marymount Manhattan College. In 2022, Jesmille had dinner with the A Doll's House associate director about the Broadway show and expressed her desire to understudy. She submitted a self-tape audition and three weeks later received a call back that she got the main role as 'Kristine Linde.'

Jesmille is also an acting coach for professional actors and a proud member of AEA and SAG/AFTRA. She is married with two children, her daughter Grace (5) and her son Elliot (2). In her free time, Jesmille enjoys watching ballet, concerts, TV, and film, listening to classical music, reading, and traveling. She is passionate about fitness, incorporating HIIT, kettlebell workouts, and weight training into her exercise routine.
