I majored in musical theatre performance at college, then went through years of waiting tables and temping while looking for acting work.

I was a musical theatre geek in high school and college.

Musical theatre is my first love.

Musical theatre is something I'm familiar with, I've been doing that.

There’s a kid in the middle of nowhere who’s sitting there living for Tony performances. Singing and flipping along with the Pippins, and Wickeds, and Kinkys, Matildas, and Mormons's. So we might reassure that kid, and do something to spur that kid, ‘cause I promise you, all of us up here tonight, we were that kid.

I grew up in musical theatre and love to perform on stage.
