First Show

I saw Wicked on Broadway as a 7th grader in 2019. Believe it or not, I saw Jessica Vosk as Elphaba and Ryan McCartan as Fiyero. I didn't realize how big of an honor this was at the time and now I love to brag about it. At the time, I only knew Ryan from Disney Channel and I was so star-struck.

Favorite Show

My favorite show of all time is Newsies. My best friend introduced me to the show in middle school and I fell in love. I convinced my mom to let me see a local high school production of Newsies and the show felt like it could've been on Broadway in my eyes. I was beyond thrilled. I even had a Newsies fan account on Instagram that I ran for years. Flash forward to my senior year of high school, my spring musical was announced to be Newsies. I worked extremely hard for months and months and eventually was cast as Katherine Plumber, and my little sister was cast as Crutchie. It was by far the best show I've ever been in and it meant the world to me.
