My first big role was when I was 17 and I got the part playing Maria in 'West Side Story' in my school production.

West Side Story.

We're going to call it the 'west side story' because there is a lot to tell.

I sing seriously to my mom on the phone. To put her to sleep, I have to sing 'Maria' from West Side Story. When I hear her snoring, I hang up.

We love 'Fiddler.' We love 'West Side Story.' I want to be in that club. I want to be in the club that writes the musical that every high school does.

I was perfectly satisfied with the West Side of Chicago when I was in knickerbockers. I hope it was with me.
