Tech Rehearsal Selfie Sparks Buzz
Midori Francis recently shared a moody, blue-tinted selfie at a tech rehearsal, captioning it, “During tech @michaelhsurosen always said I looked like I was one scene away from the ending of Blue Jasmine. Now I know what he means. This is how I’ll look if you don’t come see bus stop!! LINK IN BIO.” The image shows Francis seated center-frame, her hand brushing back sleek, ash-toned hair as she stares directly into the lens—evoking high drama without a word spoken.
Channeling Blue Jasmine
Francis’s reference nods to Woody Allen’s 2013 film Blue Jasmine, in which Cate Blanchett portrays a socialite unraveling under the weight of personal and financial collapse. On stage, Francis says she’s leaning into that same electric tension—a playful warning that her Bus Stop character is just as unmoored if the audience slinks out early.
Bus Stop Revival At Classic Stage Company
The actress is gearing up for the William Inge play Bus Stop, running May 8 through June 8 at Classic Stage Company in Manhattan. In a follow-up Instagram post, she joked, “Bus Stop or Bath Tub??? @classicstage …. link in bio for tix ;) May 8 – June 8 come say hi.” Tickets are available via the CSC website, where last month’s post even teased a discount code hidden in the final slide.
Francis portrays Cherie, a lounge singer stranded by a snowstorm at an Idaho bus station. Directed by Michael Hsu Rosen, the production promises to mix romantic comedy and existential tension, with Francis’s Blue Jasmine-inspired gaze hinting at a darker undercurrent.
From Screen To Stage: Francis’s Journey
Born in Los Angeles in 1994 and raised in New York, Francis studied drama at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She broke out on screen with roles in Netflix’s Dash & Lily (2020) and the DC Universe series Titans (2021). This season, she’s also earned acclaim for her recurring Grey’s Anatomy role as Dr. Mika Yasuda, even earning a TVLine “Performer of the Week” nod for a storyline directed by Jesse Williams.
On her Instagram Story last month, Francis invited fans behind the curtain: “If you’d like to see these dark brown roots under bottle blonde—LINK IN BIO! (Last slide has a discount code.) COME SAY HI! I’ll see ya after the show. @classicstage.” Her playful hair-reveal underlines her social media savvy, giving followers a glimpse at the person behind the performance.
With Bus Stop marking her Off-Broadway debut, Francis has balanced screen and stage like a rising torch singer. Whether she’s wrestling with Grey Sloan Memorial’s medical dramas or channeling Cate Blanchett’s socialite breakdown, she’s built a reputation for bringing raw energy to every role.
Fans eager to see Francis unleash her inner Blue Jasmine can catch Bus Stop through June 8 at CSC’s West 30th Street theater. Just don’t be surprised if that same charged stare follows you offstage.
Francis’s tech selfie reminds us that even seasoned screen actors can find fresh excitement in live theater—especially when a little cinematic flair is thrown into the mix. With her ticket link front and center, this is one stage run you won’t want to miss.
