Funniest / Most Memorable Thing That's Happened to Me on Stage


Well that has to be with the original cast of WICKED on the Tony® Awards. We were doing the show-stopping "Defying Gravity" and I was the first one to run out on stage under Idina Menzel as she flew in the air. I was so proud as I was preparing to make my entrance with the other ensemble members...with ME leading the way!! The music cue arrives, I proudly run out on stage on live national TV, slip on the dry ice and FALL...only to pop up again...singing to the rafters at Radio City! When I got home in the wee hours after the big parties, I cued up my VCR to watch and laughed myself silly watching it over and over! Now that's show biz!
