“When I was around 12 years old, I think the closest thing to Broadway I’d ever experienced was a Christmas play at church. There was a PBS ‘Great Performances’ showing of ‘Into the Woods’ that I happened to catch on TV. Everything about it made me happy – especially the music. But Bernadette Peters and Joanna Gleason absolutely blew me away with their performances. From then on, it was Broadway or bust.”
