I had gone to the High School of the Performing Arts in New York City.

I did my New York debut at 21. It was 'On the Town' at the George Gershwin Theatre. New York is my artistic home.

I was into opera as a kid - I'd play 'Carmen' and sing and dance. My mom signed me up for a theater group before preschool, and I never looked back.

I moved to New York to do a play when I was 18.

I went to School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, and we had a bunch of singing classes. My first job in New York was an Off-Broadway musical.

One thing I really want to do is - I spent ten years in New York doing theater before I moved to L.A. to do TV and film. I'd really like to go to back New York and do some theater.

I'm a New Yorker. My background is in theater, so staying here, I have the opportunity to get back to that, which I would love to do.

I was going to go to college and graduate and move to New York and do the Broadway thing. That's where a lot of my influences vocally and writing come from. Then I did some covers, and towards the end of college, I saw it was a path I could take. I wrote more pop music.

When I was a young woman, before I moved to New York, working in small, non-Equity theatres in the Midwest, I did a lot of musicals in my early to mid-20s.

You went to your first Broadway play or musical at some point, right? Come to opera.
