I think that of musicals - especially the big, splashy ones - require an actor that's also part cheerleader, too, and that's really tough to do if it's not something that really grabs you and your heart's not in it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Listen - I like musicals. Even when they're bad, there's a couple of dancers I can watch.
But I think musicals are going to have to deal with important subjects.
The musicals that I love on stage are generally meant for the stage.
Acting on stage is still my favorite thing to do. And everyone who's been in musicals knows that there is nothing more fun.
Cheerleading was my way in. It was one of the most rigorous audition processes ever. It definitely groomed me for Hollywood.
What's great about musicals is their energy and go-for-brokeness - stopping the story to sing and dance. How can you not love that?
I know nothing about producing TV drama and any involvement on my part is liable to prove an obstacle to the producers, so I prefer to be a cheerleader and let them get on with it.
I've auditioned for musicals a lot, but I think my voice didn't really match what they were looking for. I went to school for musical theater for a year and dropped out. Legit musicals are not quite my forte.
I like musicals that look more like plays.
If you know what you want to do, as I always loved musicals, and then to have been lucky enough to be successful with them, I think that's all you can ask isn't it? I think I don't really think too much about it. I am a bit shy socially, yeah, I admit that.
