. His career on Broadway started with the role of Audrey 2, the voice of the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. How Jimmy made it to the stages of Broadway is when he was hired as an understudy in Big River. "My first day on contract as an understudy, I had to perform. It was my first time in the building, and I didn't even know my way around it. This was before the time of cell phones, so when the director tried to call me, I had been out all day. I literally walked in the stage door, and I was greeted with, 'Hi, you must be Jimmy. Did you know you had to go on tonight?' That was my introduction to Broadway," he explains. Fortunately, Jimmy had performed on the national tour, so he knew the show. However, the part was one he hadn't performed, but as a professional, Jimmy shined.
