The show tune I can never get out of my head is 'Oh, What A Beautiful Morning' from 'Oklahoma!' I don't know why.
I secretly love the song 'No More Tears.' It's my go-to karaoke song that I do with all my friends.
People think that theater actors are too big for the camera. It's like, 'No, we're actors and we adjust for our audience.'
Breakups are hard for anybody, and no matter how it happens or ends up, they're just hard.
The thing about making a musical is that you can and will be replaceable really quickly.
I've never been so star struck in my life as when I met President Obama and Bill Clinton... and at the same time, no less! I'm not one to be at a loss for words, and that was a moment when I really was speechless. It was a big, big night.
I wanted to be Whitney Houston at first, and when I started taking voice lessons, my voice teacher kind of geared me more towards opera.
Don't get me wrong - I like to rest a little bit. But I don't do well with downtime.
You always hear about how women working together will catfight.

Theater was a big part of my life from the beginning.
I could sit around and cry about losing jobs because I'm not a TV star, or I could go and take something into my own hands and try to make it in this world, too.
I am constantly on the move, and if I experience foot discomfort, it makes my job really hard to do.
I always wanted to make an album, but I knew that I didn't want it to be a musical theater album. It's not that I don't love them - I own every musical theater album ever made - but it just didn't seem right for me.
