Before moving to the Broadway production, Jasmine played Jane Seymour in the first American national tour of Six, also known as the "Aragon tour."[6] Her rendition of "Heart of Stone" is well-known for her usage of unique riffs and "opt-up" choices throughout the ballad.[7][8] In April 2023, Forsberg and her fellow tour members performed on The Late Late Show with James Corden.[9]
