Just because you're a belter doesn't make you funny; it just means that's how your pipes are set up.
Laura BenantiI do think that there is an almost more old fashioned mentality to the way musical theatre people and actresses especially are treated.
Laura BenantiI wanted other women to know there's no shame in talking about it. People don't say they're pregnant until the second trimester. I intellectually understand that you don't want the whole world to know your business, but at the same time what does that mean? You don't tell your employers you're pregnant, but then when you miscarry no one knows you miscarried. Miscarrying is a horrible painful event.
