... yeah, how'd you get in musical theater?

Totally randomly.

I started out a pianist.

I went to University of Rochester in Eastman Sc- School of Music as a piano major, and then I switched to the opera department, and then I said, "What am I doing?" And then I found theater extracurricularly, and that was it.

And after I graduated college, I moved to New York with my friends and started auditioning.

Yeah, talk a little bit about that, uh, Susan, the whole, the whole two girls, kind of the little blonde, airheady, um, mean but compassionate, and the, and the, and the witch.

So when I got this job, believe it or not, I was one of the few people on the planet who had never seen Wicked.

So, uh, when I got the offer, I said, "Hm, I guess I should go see the show." So I did, and I was so thrilled, 'cause I'm a very picky theatergoer.

How was that accepted, first off? And tell us a little bit about some of the steps that it took.

Okay, well, I'll try to make this as short as possible.

I had no idea I wanted to do this.

I played the piano from second grade on.

So when I was applying to college, I...

I applied as a music major.

So I ended up going to University of Rochester and Eastman School of Music because I got the biggest scholarship.

What's that like being in the company with such a legend?
