Here's are my questions:
I want to be a stage performer what advice do you have for me?
It is a tough road, so be prepared for that. Know your stuff, know your shows, know what shows you'd be right for, see theatre, take dance lessons, piano lessons, voice lessons. Understand that you will hear the word "no" an awful lot, and if you can't get used to it, pick another career. Criticism is a good thing, don't be afraid to hear it from your teachers, it is what will help you work harder and get better. You will always be working at your craft, until the day you die, you will never be perfect, so don't beat yourself up about it, no one is perfect. Have hobbies that don't include theatre, they are the things in your life that will keep you sane.
What was your first shows and elphaba and nessarose like?
My first show as Elphaba was a bit terrifying. I found out I was going on at 5pm before the 730 show. I didn't have time to review my notes, I just had to trust that I knew it. It is all a blur, and I'm kind of grateful for that. First time for Nessa was cake, anything in my life will be cake after Elphaba.
When your were in the ensemble what were your lines?
"No one cries they won't return" and "I hear that she can shed her skin as easily as a snake."
If you got the chance to play Glinda would you?
Definitely, Glinda is awesome. And I want to ride in that bubble!
What your first reaction when you got cast in wicked?
Whoa, I have to leave in a week and I need to pack my life up...
What other roles do you want to play?
Cinderella in Into the Woods, Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family, Eponine in Les Miz.. this list could go on, but I'll stop there.
Whats the craziest thing someone told you at the stage door?
honestly, I can't think of anything.
What's your favorite gift a fan has given you?
um... I don't get too many gifts, but I did once get a really cool digital drawing of Elphaba.
Do you want to be lead elphaba?
Sure, why not, but that's not really up to me, so I try to not to think about it.
Whats are some of the biggest on stage bloopers you've had?
Andy Kelso and I were singing As Long As Your Mine, and we went up on the words and then fumbled our way through the rest of the song because neither of us could figure out how to get back on track.
There ya go, hope you enjoy!
