“I’ve Been Doing What Sarah Snook Does for Years!” Claims Furious Woman Who Sings Every Part When She Listens to "One Day More"

FOREST HILLS, Queens. — Local self-proclaimed Theatre Artist Jerilyn Jacobs is threatening to take legal action against the Tony-winning revival of The Picture of Dorian Gray, starring Succession’s Sarah Snook. Jerilyn plans to sue for theft of intellectual property, claiming “I've been performing every single character in 'One Day More' since before her HBO days, sweetie.” 

“I was an inspiring Valjean while also being a radiant Cosette. My work was unlike any other in the field at the time,” said Jacobs, claiming that she originated the “one woman, many roles” performance model in many apartments with even more roommates. “And now this Sarah woman gets to reheat my nachos and win a Tony?”

In The Picture of Dorian Gray on Broadway, Sarah Snook plays all 26 characters by herself, but Miss Jacobs claims she can play up to 50 characters at once, somehow.

 “And don’t think for a second that this is the first time a notable performer has copied my format,” Jacobs continued without us asking for more information. “Cher’s West Side Story would never have gone up if it weren’t for the foundational work I laid.” 

Since her first "One Day More" endeavor, Jacobs has put up hundreds of shows where she goes on for every track, only pausing slightly to do brief costume and makeup changes. She’s tackled everything from The Crucible to Bye Bye Birdie to a very confusing rendition of Spring Awakening.

Jerilyn’s longtime roommate, Irving Moskowitz, says he knows firsthand how much work Jerilyn has put into her one woman works.

“I used to wake up in a cold sweat because I thought I heard dozens of voices coming from down the hall,” explains Moskowitz, who won't go see any solo shows on the off chance it's "A Jerilyn." “Turns out it was just Jerilyn taking the same scarf on and off while doing a bunch of different voices. The voices were pretty good, to be honest.”

Neither Sarah Snook or the team at The Music Box has responded to any of Jacobs’ requests for comment because they don’t want to.
