When I first got to New York, all I did was musicals. After a few years I had to make a conscious choice to close the door on musicals, because I was getting pigeon-holed as a musical theater performer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I started out doing musicals.
I wasn't planning on doing musicals, but that's how I started.
I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'
I did musicals in high school, certainly. And then I just kept wanting to do them. I felt at home in the theater, in that way that, you know, you're supposed to if that's the kind of person you are.
It's almost scary how amateur I am when it comes to musicals - I'm a musical goer, but I am not as obsessed with musicals as perhaps some of my theatrical friends are.
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.
I started out doing theater in New York. I used to go to Shakespeare in the Park a lot.
I did musicals from about age 10 to 18.
I used to watch a lot of musicals as a kid. Musical movies, not so much musical theater.
