BY JIM SILVESTRI From the clubs to Drag Race to soaps to the stage, Darius Rose aka Jackie Cox is booked, blessed and gorgeous
INTERVIEW >> Jackie, hello! So much has happened since last we spoke! First of all, how fun was it to return to “Days of Our Lives” as a version of yourself? It seems like you had a pretty big and surreal storyline this time around. Hello, Jim! Yes, a lot has happened! Going back to Days has been so surreal, each time it feels like a true “pinch-me” moment. The whole “Birdcage-esque” plot line was so fun to play, and I can’t say enough great things about working with Peter Porte, who was my scene partner this time around. I hope this fictional version of me gets to come back again and finally exact my revenge on Leo Stark! You also toured with Jan Sport for a holiday show last month, which was super cute. What’s life on the road with Jan like? Jan is truly my sister from another mister. We work so well together and know each other so well that it was honestly the most fun I think anyone could possibly have, considering our crazy schedule. We did 16 cities in just three weeks! And most of it was driving in an SUV! So, knowing when to relax, when to take breaks and when to get amped up and ready for the show was something we navigated together really well. This is really exciting: You’re taking over the role of Kenneth/Kate Marlowe in the one-person show “Make Me Gorgeous” February 1 - 25 at Playhouse 46 at St. Luke’s, care of Triangle Productions! How did you become familiar with this show and what made you want the role? It all kind of happened very quickly, but around New Year’s, they asked me to come check out the show because they were interested in extending, but needed a replacement, as the incredible Wade McCollum is off to do Water for Elephants on Broadway. I ended up having a very in-depth, two hour lunch with Donnie, the author and director of “Make Me Gorgeous”, where we discussed so many things, but key to our convo was how important this story is and how important it is, as queer artists, to keep sharing our own history.
