In a profile for USA TodayJinkx Monsoon revealed she dreams of starring in Sweet Charity and Gypsy when she's older.

"The box-office success is lovely because that means more producers will take chances on other drag artists and marginalized performers. It proved that audiences are hungry to see these roles interpreted by different perspectives..." said Monsoon.

Jinkx made her Broadway debut in the role of Matron 'Mama' Morton on Monday, January 16, 2023, making history by becoming the first drag queen to play the role on Broadway. Jinkx broke box office records and played to standing room only crowds at the Ambassador Theatre during her first run in the show as “Mama” in 2023. She was most recently seen on stage off-Broadway in Little Shop of Horrors.
