First Show:

Wicked

Favorite Show:

My favorite show is The Sound of Music. Maria is absolutely a dream role. Her warmth, spirit, and joy make her such an inspiring character. I was introduced to golden age musicals from a young age, and that is really where my love for musical theater began. There is something so timeless and beautiful about those classic shows. The sweeping melodies and heartfelt stories will always hold a special place in my heart.
