LEARN MORE ABOUT Rebecca Kaplan

First Show:

My parents took me to see a production of CATS when I was 4 or 5 and I hated it. Discriminating taste, even at a tender age.

Favorite Show:

I've seen too many shows to pick just one favorite but the Encores revival of the Apple Tree was really, really special. Kristin Chenoweth in a Harnick & Bock musical?? Heaven.
