In this week's edition, we caught up with Carrie St. Louis, who is starring as 'Sherrie' in Rock of Ages- currently playing at the Helen Hayes Theatre.
What is the first Broadway show you ever saw?
The first Broadway show I ever saw was HAIRSPRAY! My Girl Scout troop took a trip to New York, and we had tickets to the show! I remember I cried during the finale because I loved it so much. What is your most unique pre-show ritual? I can't show up to the theater without a medium iced hazelnut coffee from Dunkin' Donuts and a bottle of aloe juice. It's a little sad. Other than that, dance parties are a must! What is your most memorable "the show must go on" moment? I had a moment on around show 200 of ROCK OF AGES in Las Vegas. I walked onstage for the beginning of "Waiting For a Girl" and as I was getting into the car, I completely blanked on the words to the song. Immediately, I started panicking, and when we got to my verse, I sang a series of unintelligible words at full volume. My costar, Justin Mortelliti, turned and looked at me as if I was having a stroke. Naturally, once that verse was over, I picked right back up where I left off and continued the show. Although it was utterly terrifying, I will never forget it and my cast got a good laugh out of it. Strong and wrong, baby!Who is your Broadway crush? Kelli O' Hara. She is breathtaking on stage and I have such a girl crush on her! Who doesn't? Where can people 'stalk' you online?
