I think it's good to have an old fashioned musical as well as new musicals. There's a lot of room for different shows.

Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.

I feel like people used to leave their homes and go to their local theatre, and they used to watch ballet dancers and musical theatre performers and tap dancers and orchestras and dog acts. You had to leave your home, be in the presence of other people, know how to behave, and enjoy the human being whose beating heart was in front of you.

I think we've become a TV culture where we forget the live performer in front of us can see us. I think there is a self-centeredness that happens. There's nothing more important than what you are doing in that moment. So, unless it's an emergency, put your phone away.

I don't think theater is dying, and musicals are a great American art form. We've got apple pie, jazz and musical theater.

I did a lot of lying. I went through a big lying phase when I was in like third and fourth grade. I told all my friends I was in Les Misérables, and I was not. I also told them I was an Indian princess. Also not an Indian princess.

Well, I'm grateful for all the experiences that I've had.
