The Tony nominee and Broadway leading star on heading to UK shores to star in Songs For A New World: The 30th Anniversary Concert - conducted by none other than Jason Robert Brown.  We also talk all things Gypsy on Broadway, her history-making, Tony-celebrated time as Louise in that production (including a special guest question from actual Laura Benanti!) and the “honour” of having a front row seat to Audra McDonald’s performance as Rose.  We also dive into the hard reality of fierce expectation thanks to her global virtual moments and how crippling that can really be, why the phenomenon of “the hardest song I’ve ever sung” with My Days in The Notebook wasn’t as easy ride as you’d first expect - and why she wants to move past the need for “pretty” vocals and focus on both heart and story, together.  Plus, why showing up and doing your best counts for everything!
