You have done it all: movies, television, and Broadway. What makes musical theater your first passion?
I love singing and the art form of cabaret; it’s pairing storytelling and song. It’s a fun way to weave personal stories into songs that can connect.
What do you consider your greatest professional achievement?
Winning a Tony Award for my dual roles of Big and Little Edie in Grey Gardens. I loved the characters, the scope of the story, and the other actors I was working with; it was a very special time in my career.
What advice would you give to aspiring entertainers?
You have to be committed, passionate, and love what you do; otherwise, you won’t succeed.
When you’re not touring and performing, where can we find you?
At home in my pajamas.
