Taylor Iman Jones is headed to Emojiland. The talented actress will take on the role of Princess in the new off-Broadway musical for a limited run from February 18-23. She will fill in for Lesli Margherita, who will be away fulfilling a prior obligation.
An upcoming star of the Devil Wears Prada musical, Jones was most recently seen off-Broadway in the new musical Scotland, PA. Her Broadway credits include Head Over Heels and Groundhog Day.
Emojiland follows a diverse community of archetypes who take one another at face value: a smiling face dealing with depression, a princess who doesn't want a prince, a skull dying for deletion, a nerd face too smart for his own good, a face with sunglasses who can't see past his own reflection and a police officer and construction worker who just want to work together. When a software update threatens to destroy life as they know it, Emojiland faces the most fundamental questions a society can face.
Emojiland began its run at The Duke on 42nd Street on January 9; it recently received an extension through March 19.
