[on beginning her acting career] I had been coming to New York, pretty much once a month, to dance on Broadway. I was offered a huge Broadway show, but couldn't do it because my brother was having his huge Bar Mitzvah. My brother felt really bad about that and when he stumbled on the Broadway revival of Gypsy - I don't know what made him choose that because he's certainly not a theater person - he thought I should try out for it. I asked my mom if I could come up to New York-I'm from Florida-and she said "yes". I went in for the open call with a thousand other kids. I got the part and did its entire run at the City Center and on Broadway. From there, I did Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas: the Musical. I also did Family Week, which is Jonathan Demme's first play. Show less «
