I was really into dancing, taking six classes a week, and my real dream was to be in a Broadway show.

The first Broadway show I saw was when I was 11. I saw 'Hair.'

When you're doing a Broadway show, you have no free time.

It's been a secret dream of mine to be part of Broadway, ... I hope to be able to do for this production some of what I've been able to do for books - that is, to open the door to the possibilities for a world of people who have never been or even thought of going to a Broadway show.

My first Broadway show was with Elizabeth Taylor and Maureen Stapleton. Maureen Stapleton, a legend in the theatre; Elizabeth Taylor, a legend, period.

The first Broadway show I ever heard was the recording of Carousel, and it was a very vivid experience.
