Favorite Stories:

  • Tony Nominee Reactions - I have had the pleasure of covering every Tony Awards season since 2011 and one of my favorite parts is hearing from the nominees just moments after they find out that they ARE nominees.
  • Theatre Queens - When I'm not at a Broadway show, you'll find me at home, catching up on the latest episodes of RuPaul's Drag Race. I've had a blast chatting with many of the queens who call theatre their first love.
  • Broadway Jukebox - I love a good playlist and I find myself making them OFTEN. I've curated over 100 musical theatre playlists for BroadwayWorld (my personal favorite is "Female Anthems of Broadway"). Give them a listen and follow BroadwayWorld on Spotify to find out what I come up with next!
  • Broadway By Design - I created this series after realizing how little information is shared about the theatrical design process and it has become one of my favorite ongoing features.
  • Next On Stage - Working on this project and having the opportunity to spotlight so many talented young people from around the country has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

THE VOICE Over:  And the Winner Is…
THE VOICE Over: And the Winner Is…
June 29, 2011

Remember earlier this year when there was tons of media hype surrounding ‘American Idol,' and how the country had lost all love for female competitors? There was lots of: 'A girl will never win the Idol crown again!' and 'Voters just don't root for female contestants like they do men!' It was all very dramatic, and clearly also very irrational, as ‘The Voice' has quickly proven that America has some girl power yet.
