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


My most memorable moment in my career was walking into the wrong theater and landing my first Broadway show! I had an audition for THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM at the Alvin Theater. When I got to 52nd street, I saw ANTA Theater before me and knew the theater started with an "A" . There were people around the stage door, so when I approached, I discovered that a new Broadway show called BUBBLING BROWN SUGAR was looking for a Caucasian female and the stage manager said I was perfect for it. I looked across the street and realized I was supposed to be at the Alvin Theatre not the ANTA Theatre! He said to go to my audition and then come right back! When I finished my audition for BUBBLING BROWN SUGAR, which included singing, dancing and reading from the script, I remember standing in the middle of the stage as they approached me from down the aisle, to welcome me to their cast of BUBBLING BROWN SUGAR!!! A dream come true!
