When I was 12, I made it a professional goal to one day play on Broadway. That achievement has finally been unlocked! I was beyond excited to make my Broadway debut with the Lightning Thief at the Longacre Theatre over the weekend. It was a thrilling/terrifying/powerful/intoxicating experience that I will never forget.

Special thank to Jeff Fernandes for having me sit in on his absolutely gorgeous kit, and to Wiley DeWeese for being one of the sharpest and kindest MDs I’ve ever worked with. I am also deeply grateful to Jeremy Yaddaw for putting my name forward for this project and countless others.

I also had the best crew of friends and family at the shows. It meant the world to me to look out and see you all there. Thank you all so much for coming!

Finally, I would not be here if it weren’t for the many amazing music teachers I’ve had throughout my life. Have you thanked a music educator today?
