What is your top favorite musical song to listen to and sing?

My favorite musical theatre song to listen to is probably “Words Fail” from Dear Evan Hansen. Pasek and Paul’s music and lyrics are so catchy and emotive! And my top fav musical theatre song to perform is “With Him” by my incredibly talented friend, Joey Contreras.

What are you looking forward to during your time here in Minneapolis?

I haven’t been back to Minneapolis in so long, and I’m so glad to be back, even for a short while. I’m excited to be catching up with an old best friend who I’ve missed so much, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to guest teach at the amazing schools here in the area. I love getting to meet all the incredible young talent we have in the country, and every state I get to work in I am more and more in awe of it!

Thank you Natalie for your time! We hope to have you back in Minneapolis again!
