When asked about her time spent on Broadway in AIDA, Williams responded: 'I consider myself a little girl up there on that stage thrown to the wolves. I pretty much was. My very first Broadway role was a lead character. That's absolutely insane.

I'm very proud that I can look at my resume and see all I've done, and I can't wait to do more. I hope to originate a role on Broadway one day. I'm very excited about my growth.'
