The question of whether Jackie possesses the stamina for the rigours of Broadway is fair. I wonder if her engagement at the Carlyle Restaurant where she did two shows a night for 5 nights in a row for a week or two might serve as some indication that she has at least some stamina.

Couldn't agree more, Gordie. If Jackie is willing to start at the bottom with small parts, as everyone else does, and work her way up, there's every chance she might become a Broadway star. But she better start as soon as she leaves school. There are plenty of recent stage school grads, already trained in dancing and acting, crowding into auditions for new productions and spending their summers working as apprentices in summer theaters, hoping for walkons or even small speaking parts. That's the way the theater has always worked. Much like opera, which is only a more vocally demanding form of musical theater. Would Jackie be up for that? I am wondering why would she really want to? Right now she puts out a new album every few years and has concerts all over the country and that has to be bringing in enough bucks for her and her family to live well. She could do that for the rest of her life. Indeed, she could, and may well not have ambitions beyond that. Although, a couple of caveats: Do you really think the rest of her family intends to live off her earnings for the rest of her life? That the other kids have no ambitions of their own? Plus, is she going to self-fund albums every two years? Or do you think Masterworks will continue to put them out when they sell poorly? The fact is it's an increasingly evolving music business and album sales for female C/C singers in the US are abysmal. It's all in Jackie's hands (or soon will be) and I hope she will feel free to act in what will be her own best interests, career-wise and personally. How much her career has been a result of her mother's drive and financial necessity and how much that of her own fire and ambition, we will soon find out.

Like others, I have been wondering about the purpose of Jackie's acquisition of a NYC residence. In trying to pick apart the mystery, I first concluded that she made the purchase for her own reasons, she made the purchase to support Juliet who feels she has a modelling career in NYC, she purchased it to accommodate both her personal reasons and those of Juliet. Not a difficult conclusion to reach so far.
Jackie is 17 rapidly approaching 18 and a huge T-junction in her future is immediately in front of her. Disregarding the daunting task of assuming legal and financial responsibility for all her decisions and actions, there is the decision about education vs career. I would be willing to bet that she realizes that continuing with her education will require committing more time to studies than she has in the past and in order to do that she will need to reduce the amount of time she can spend maintaining or further developing her career. One or the other will suffer. So the big question is which direction will she turn when she fully arrives at the T-junction?
Perhaps we might more accurately speculate if we knew where in NYC her property is and what if any institution of learning are located nearby and what programs they offer. I assume if she is in NYC for the purpose of continuing education then she would have purchased her accommodation relatively close as possible to that institution. If it can be determined that there is no educational institution near her accommodation then perhaps it is closer to places that lean toward career opportunities.
Of course none of the preceding is fool proof but it might have some logical basis for speculation. Just food for thought.

It was reportedly a sub-let, probably in a recently developed (or redeveloped) area of Manhattan. Public transportation is pretty good there, I hear; so we don't need to know her address to suppose that her access to institutions and facilities in the area would be pretty good...if that's what she's there for. As speculation goes, isn't DF spending more time in Manhattan with his ambition of turning Betty Boop into a musical? And if what I heard is reasonable, didn't DF's pet manager (also her manager) have something to do with finding the sub-let? Are there dots to connect, in terms of being more available for possible future opportunities? We'll just have to wait and see...

rihamil it was posted earlier during the "find waldo" easter egg hunt to identify where jackie was residing that her apartment search was aided by her manager mark johnson, who it has been said, has an apartment in the same building..now if one is prone to speculation, one could infer, since mr johnson also represents "the foz" that this is not a mere coincidence...time will tell..

Small correction Marc Johnston is a partner with David Foster in a management company which mainly reps the young performers that Foster toured with for years. How many clients they have now (other than Jackie) I don't know but I'm pretty sure he may now be repping Laura Bretan, because she has been showing up recently at Foster's charity dos. Agree that Jackie might well have been persuaded that a NY base would be a good thing for her to have and Johnston knew of a sublet in his building. Meanwhile, Juliet could use it while trying to get signed by a main stream modeling agency, without which she will never succeed in the very competitive world of high fashion modeling.

One big possibility that may have came into play is Jackie may have wanted to get away from home. I know some many think they are the 1960's perfect family but I think that one reality show showed that is not so. But I remember when Lisa took down the pro-boards site she also took down Juliet's site and at that time Jackie tweeted she wanted to move in with some one in the UK (Yeve or something like that) it was strange because Jackie hardly ever mentioned her, of course nothing ever came of it. So far I haven't seen anything career wise that would have caused her to move to NY. Personally I think the move was more for Juliet and Jackie more or less followed Juliet.

Jackie sure gets folks going in circles by doing nothing. And, they say she's "ineffective". I am pleased that this discussion of multiple sides is somewhat civilized. I swear I can hear brain cogwheels being engaged in more serious debate or alternate views......PLS EVERYONE KEEP IT UP.

This thread was started because Jackie news was SO slow, and concerts were few and far between. Remember, we're in Jackie's traditional concert season. Recently a new concert has been announced. But most exciting are the pictures from a NYC recording studio. These two news items seem to answer the initial question. Thankfully the answer appears to be NO, Jackie isn't quitting. I don't know if this news item has been posted elsewhere. There are some intriguing answers from Jackie. Of course, since it's Jackie answering, the answers are quite short without elaboration. www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2017/11/17/jackie-evancho-14-questions-with-the-30-under-30-opera-prodigy/#74415499bf2f

I am the only one that finds it creepy that Richard has this level of knowledge about Marc, Jackie and Juliet's living accommodations? Naw, it's just me....
