I warm up at home. I hit the stage, I'm ready, whether it's rehearsal or anything.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I prepare myself for rehearsals like I would for marriage.
I like to do everything you can possibly do before you go into rehearsal, because once we are in rehearsal or on the stage there will be a problem I didn't anticipate. It's really good to think we got it all nailed - of course you've never got it all nailed.
I've got to be comfortable when I'm on stage.
I am absolutely not a roll-on-stage kind of girl! I would be totally freaked out if I didn't warm up, and I don't know how other singers do it.
I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.
The excitement of being in a rehearsal room is good for me.
I love opening night, and I love doing plays. But one of my favorite parts about doing a play or working on a new play is rehearsal.
Backstage, I get sleepy, and want to curl up and snooze. I never get nervous, whatever the event. I feel quite detached until I walk on stage, and then some gear inside me clicks and off I go like a wind up doll.
I think that sometimes in theater, I don't prepare much beyond going to the rehearsals.
I'm most at home on the stage.
