Meet the Stars of Stage Door: Jonalyn Saxer Shares Her Love of Sutton Foster and Taylor Swift! What's been the craziest shout out that a fan has requested of you so far?

A fan had seen me in a show from way before Mean Girls, and made the connection when I was back in the same city on tour! It was cool to be able to give a shout out and even chat a little about both shows to someone who had seen them both!

Who are you a super fan of?

Sutton Foster is my idol and she is truly everything

And obviously, TSwift

What's something that even your biggest fans might not know about you?

My WHOLE family is a musical theater family. It wasn't that doing theater was a suggestion, it was a requirement in my household. When we're able to gather in person, we all gather around the piano and sing songs for hours.

When it's officially announced that Broadway is coming back, what's the first thing you'll do?

Probably cry. And then call my voice teacher and get BACK into those lessons

Which show would you like to be in the audience for on re-opening night?

I'm dying to see Six, and would love to be there for that. Especially since the shutdown happened ON their opening night.
