"This is a show of mostly stuff I've never performed. So you are gonna get a standard here or there, but the arrangements are new. You're also going to get something that's kinda Judy Garland-ish; you're gonna get a Janet Jackson cover in this show. You're gonna get a Madonna cover. You're gonna get a Miley Cyrus cover on this show."
"I'm excited to sing stuff that people don't think I would sing,"
"Especially, like, pop stuff. You know, most people know me for singing 'Tomorrow' from Annie."
"a really big space for me right now. It's a unique environment because you're kind of always doing a different show,"
"and as somebody who just loves music, that's super preferential. I would rather it be different all the time."
