The musical based on my life would most likely be called 'Something Fabulous.' 'Something Fabulous' - that's a great title!
I always thought Broadway's the goal, and then I moved out to L.A. with 'Wicked' and started doing guest-star spots and little recurring things, and I was like, 'Well, this is pretty great; I'm kind of digging this.'
The great thing about doing a series about the Broadway community is that the possibilities are endless.
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.
Well, as an actor, at least from my standpoint, I can't not like who I'm playing.
Theater was a big part of my life from the beginning.
