I came out Evita like that tycoon, bitch tap dancer, but my first Tony nomination was for a slapstick comedy with Rosalind As you like it. The character was very wacky and cute, but people don't associate that aspect with me because I've had roles in musical theater. So Glinda wasn't necessarily a challenge for me, Patti, even though it may seem that way to the majority of people who know my background. I I know this side of me.

They will represent certain aspects: love, fate, luck, career.”
