The night will be filled with some of Broadway's best musical numbers, and I couldn't be more excited to share my story with everyone, especially those girls who know what its like to use an eyebrow pencil for wrinkle lines, baby powder for hair coloring, and where to trade LaDuca's for sensible orthopedics."
