I'm a little bit sillier than past Cinderellas... at least, I am so far. But it's only the second day into rehearsal!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.
I truly love the rehearsal process, those eight hours a day! I really love actors.
I'm not one to dwell on rehearsal or preparation.
Frankly, seeing my plays with an audience is something I do with gritted teeth; I find the experience very difficult. I love the moment when you have just the dress rehearsal, when no one's there; that's kind of the peak to me. When people start filing in, I like to file out.
I've been onstage once for one performance with four days' rehearsal.
For me the rehearsal period is the part I most enjoy. It's the creating of the story.
Cinderella is making her Broadway debut. It's an honor to step into that position and, in that way, I am creating a role because it's never been done on Broadway. I feel so honored.
I pride myself in the fact that in the six months tour of Cinderella, I didn't take one show off.
I warm up at home. I hit the stage, I'm ready, whether it's rehearsal or anything.
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.
