I did a theatrical musical, Annie Warbucks, when I was 11. We did a tour and we stopped by Los Angeles.

I was heavily involved in musical theater.

I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'

The Majestic Theater in 1990. That was one of my first real shows where I had 300 to 400 people there.

I went to a lot of theatre. My parents were very involved with the performing arts. I went to nightclub shows when I was a little girl. We went to Florida and we would go to the Cocoanut Grove down there. We'd go see Lena Horne, Jimmy Durante, Sophie Tucker and Judy Garland.

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.

My two brothers and I grew up in the theater, going everywhere with my parents when they performed.

My grandmother took me to a lot of theater. I was exposed to performance quite a bit - everything from Broadway to off-Broadway and dance and music as well. I was very lucky that way. It was a very rich childhood.

I have done a lot of theater.

I don't come from an artistic family, so I didn't know what theater was. I was working on Wall Street in the '90s, and I went to see 'Appointment With a High-Wire Lady' at Ensemble Studio Theatre, and it affected me so deeply. It changed everything I thought about the arts. I quit banking and became an actor.
