"Broadway has changed tremendously from the early days when the shows were referred to as musical comedies. Musical Theater is now a more expanded art form. Back then, singer/actors were not the norm. From the 60's to now, it is necessary to do it all to be a consummate Broadway performer."
"There's a lot of maintenance that goes into being a professional singer."
"The word, and the concept of feminism, was a gift because it gave me a sense of identity and a way of defining how I wished to live my life."
"I was hugely relieved to discover there was a purpose for girls with loud voices."
"I love Mary Chapin Carpenter songs. I love her songs 'Come On, Come On' and 'I Am A Town', they're two of my favorite songs."
