I order the guiltless grilled chicken sandwich on a wheat bun. And chips and salsa and queso. And a coke.

I’d love to take my entire family to Paris. The museums, the history , and of course The Paris Opera!

At what age did you decide to branch out from ballet and pursue jazz, tap, etc.?
I didn’t branch out from ballet till college. I was a total bunhead till then.

If you are a mezzo soprano it is better to use soprano in auditions or mezzo that is easier to cast?
Always the best thing is to sing in the key-ish or “spirit” of the role you WANT!

What was the best thing about being in wicked?
During Wicked I knew we were creating something indelible, untouchable, and it was gonna be huge. But the people I worked with, especially the ensemble, that’s who I really am thankful for. And I miss them!!

What insights did you gain from singing poetry instead of simply reading it silently on the page in written form?
In singing poetry, it feels like it’s already music so why NOT sing it. We sing because we MUST. We can’t speak anymore, so we sing!

Who wrote “boy” and does anyone else sing it?
A woman named Jodi Marr wrote that song and my friend and former Sony Classical exec gave it to me to give a listen. I knew right then, especially given the relationship I was just in that had ended, this song was for ME.

What is the celebrity secret to not getting deoderant on your clothes and getting those white marks?
