Jordon Hofman
Jordon Hofman is excited to be returning to the Palace to be a part of another amazing production! She has had roles in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Scrooge, It's a Wonderful Life Live Radio Show, and 9 to 5 the musical. Most recently, she acted as stage and prop manager for Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and props manager for Mamma Mia. She decided to take a break from the production side of things and audition for Hunchback. Jordon attended a tiny high school that lacked a music or theatre program, but in her heart she always wanted to perform. She got that chance as a part of a couple of musicals in college. After a few years hiatus, wherein she got married and had three beautiful daughters, she returned to her love of the stage. Her daughters and husband share this love, and this is only the second time since having kids that she'll be taking the stage without at least one of them accompanying her. She looks forward to being a part of this great production, and is very grateful to the Palace Theater for the opportunity.

Many of the pieces have been favorites since childhood and it has been a privilege to be part of the ensemble bringing this powerful score to life. She is grateful for: her father’s love of music which inspired her to be part of band and choir for decades; her mother’s support and chauffeur services in her youth; a husband who encourages her love of Broadway and campaigned for her to audition; and her five young children who sing along when rehearsing at home.

She’s always loved music, being in various choirs over the years, but Broadway music and Disney songs are what she sings in the car or when she’s alone. So when she heard about the Hunchback auditions she decided it was time to try something that both thrilled and terrified her, but also made her feel like something other than just a mom for once. She is humbled to be among such a talented cast and knows it will be a magical experience for all involved.
