| Audition song: | "My Body" from The Life |
| Special skills: | Pickling |

| If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? | Just one? Off the top of my head, I was really bummed I missed Fiona Shaw in Medea. |
| Current show you have been recommending to friends: | Toxic Avenger and Superior Donuts |
| Favorite showtune: | I couldn't possibly pick just one. It changes daily. It was "Memory" for a long time. Maybe it hasn't changed. I'm not very committal. Can you tell? |
| Most played song on your iPod: | "A Beautiful Mess" or "Life is Wonderful" by Jason Mraz |

| Last good movie you saw: | "Fanny and Alexander." Ingmar Bergman film in Swedish. Wonderful movie. |

| Performer you would drop everything to go see: | Jason Mraz. I would have said Cate Blanchett but, with a heavy heart, I am missing her performance in Streetcar at BAM this season. |
| Pop culture guilty pleasure: | Mariah Carey |

| How you got your Equity card: | Playing Emma in Jekyll & Hyde for Surflight Theater at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City |
| Worst onstage mishap: | I was on The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber tour; I sang The Phantom of the Opera with a pre-recorded ending. At the end of the song as I was taking my bow, the sound guy accidentally turned the sound back up and I ended up bowing to my own pre recorded high E. |
| Worst costume ever: | One year for Halloween I went as a TV. I made it myself. It was also my best costume ever. |
| Favorite junk food: | Haagen-Dazs |
| Who would play you in the movie? | Samantha Morton |
| Worst job you ever had: | Handing out fliers in front of Grand Central for an event that day for the new Venus razor for women. The catch phrase was, "Supermodels here today!" |
| Leading lady role you've been dying to play | There really is not one in particular. There are so many. I like to see what comes to me. I like how life surprises with unexpected roles. |
