How was opening?

It was a night I’ll never forget. To get to celebrate all of our hard work together as a cast was such a joyous experience.

The show is filled with such joy, what was your reaction the first time you read the script?

The first time I read the script I felt so seen and knew I had to be a part of it in some capacity. It’s rare you get to play yourself onstage and the storytelling felt so authentic.

What does it mean that your Broadway debut is with this show?

All I ever wanted was to be able to be a voice or face for little girls like me who didn’t see themselves or their community represented onstage. To get to debut with a story like this, that means so much to me and our people, is a blessing.

When you reflect back in twenty years, what do you want to remember most about the show and this experience right now?

I want to remember all my moments with the cast. We have truly become a family during this process and have formed bonds that are forever. All of our laughs and memories are what I’ll always hold on to.
