I've always been excited at the idea of performing a solo show.

My dad's paternal grandparents were musically inclined. And I remember as a little kid going to visit them in their senior building, and they were, like, the stars of the building, especially hosting and performing in their senior talent show.

I went to the opening of 'Sister Act,' and I had such a great time. I had no idea what it was about, and I had never seen the movies. But I heard the show went through some major last-minute craziness in previews, and man, opening night was really fun and really entertaining.

I want to carry a show, but there are not a lot of leading parts for people who are not celebrities.

My mom tells me the first show we saw was 'The Secret Garden,' but I don't remember that.

The idea of doing a production of 'Carousel' that doesn't feel like it's stuck in the 1950s really intrigues me.
