Meet the Stars of Stage Door: Find Out Which One of Jenn Colella's Signature Songs Makes Her Nervous!  ImageWhat's been the craziest shoutout that a fan has requested of you so far?

I had a beautiful request from a fan to send love to a sibling who'd just learned of her sister's queerness. I got to thank this woman for celebrating her gay little sister. It was awesome.

Who are you a super fan of?

I am a super fan of Barbra Streisand, Brandi Carlile and Stacey Abrams.

What's something that even your biggest fans might not know about you?

Singing "Me and the Sky" from COME FROM AWAY makes me very nervous. :)

When it's officially announced that Broadway is coming back, what's the first thing you'll do?

The first thing I'm gonna do when Broadway is back is see my buddy Rob McClure in MRS. DOUBTFIRE and bawl my eyes out.

Which show would you like to be in the audience for on re-opening night?

I would like to be there for the opening moment wherein Andre De Shields slides across the stage at HADESTOWN and says, "Alright."
