Happy Closing to the literal icon of a show that is Death Becomes Her! 🧪✨ I’m devastated I can’t be at the Lunt taking a final bow with this stellar cast today Instead, I’m holding down the couch with my own little baby immortal, who currently has a better vocabulary than I did in this video. 🍼👶

To celebrate the final performance, please enjoy this Reel of the exact moment my heavily pregnant brain completely deleted the lyrics to Helen’s fast-ass patter song mid-show. My brain cells literally clocked out and left the building. I butchered the best lyrics on Broadway so badly that I should probably be legally banned from Times Square. Honestly? No regrets. 🏃‍♀️💨

The absolute best part is Bud Webber (on for Ernest) just staring at me from across the couch with pure, frozen, “I physically cannot help you, sister” terror. He looked like he was witnessing a live car crash, which honestly, he was. It is peak theatrical comedy. 😂💀

I am going to miss playing Brenda Rizzo, and I’m genuinely heartbroken I won’t get to cover Madeline and Helen one last time—mostly because I finally learned the words and it would have been my ultimate redemption arc. 🫠🎭

Have the most magical closing night to the best cast and crew on Broadway, DBH family...

Now go drink the potion, y’all! 🧪💄

💗✨BIG NEWS✨💗

Stepmother is becoming… a mother! 👶💅

Scott and I are thrilled to share that we’re expecting a baby GIRL — arriving April 18th, 2026! 🎀

I don’t know exactly when my maternity leave will begin, but I’ll keep you all posted — and I can’t wait to return to Death Becomes Her to start my next act as a working mama! 🎭💋

For now, I’m sharing the stage with my tiniest co-star — she’s already loud, funny, and dramatic… clearly taking after both her parents. 😉

Oliver the cat is also very excited to become a big brother (and slightly concerned about sharing the spotlight). 🐾💖

And I already know Scott is going to be the most amazing girl dad — this little one hit the jackpot. 💕

Thank you all for the love and support — this next chapter is already full of laughter and love. 💕 Stay tuned because I am bringing ya’ll on this journey with me! 😘

18 weeks pregnant and finally getting to live in Madeline Ashton for a few glorious reps — not just a quick cameo, but actual time to savor her delicious chaos. ✨

Every moment felt extra precious because we don’t quite know when maternity leave will call me away… so you better believe I’m living every second like it’s my last!

And of course, sharing the stage with my Forbidden Broadway sister, Jennifer Simard, made it all even more sparkling (and unhinged).

Don’t worry — this pregnant lady still has plenty of shows left before baby takes the spotlight!

From her very first night in the bassinet straight home from the hospital to today. 🥹

I’ll never forget how tiny and fragile she felt in my arms that first night—and now, almost six months later, look at her. It really is true what they say: the days are long, but the years are so fast. Holding on to every single second. 🤍✨

Apple trees, farm breezes, and the sweetest milestone day. 🍎✨

We headed back to Ort Farms today—a spot Scott and I visited years ago, but this time with our favorite extra team member! It was Aria’s very first trip to the farm, and she gave it a solid 10/10.

We picked a mountain of apples and fresh veggies, conquered the corn maze without getting (too) lost, and treated ourselves to apple cider slushies—which Aria fully tried to steal for herself. Nice try, girl! 🥤👶

To top off a huge day, she held her own bottle for the absolute first time at dinner before completely crashing out. We are having the absolute best time watching her experience all of these “firsts.” Love bringing old traditions back to life with our girl. 🌾❤️🍂

Two self-tapes in one week with a 5-month-old is a full-on family endurance sport, but we’re making it happen. 🎭🎬

Between timing naps, packing the stroller, and hauling half the nursery to Scott’s space at Pearson Studios Inc.—twice—we went from big musical theatre belting to quiet film takes without dropping a single ball (or baby bottle).

Being a mom in this industry takes a village, and I got super lucky with Scott as my hubby. He doesn’t just run a studio—the man does literally everything. Lighting, audio engineering, production, editing, coaching, reader services... you name it. The guy was literally tweaking the sound, dialing in the lights, and giving me killer reader lines, all while wearing her in a carrier so I could actually focus, act, and not stress.

Seriously, if you need a true one-stop shop near NYC for a seamless, completely stress-free tape, Pearson Studios Inc. in Hoboken is where it’s at—though I can’t guarantee Scott will wear your baby while you record. Now let’s get these submitted—Aria needs those new shoes! 👶🏼👠✨ @pearsonstudiosinc

One year ago today with @jjignotzphotography 📸✨

I remember walking into this PR branding photoshoot having never done anything like it before. I felt like an absolute model, had the best time, and JJ captured my true vibe so perfectly. (Massive love and gratitude to @tonyhowell for connecting us!).

Looking back at these photos today hit a little differently. Yes, I’ve taken a bit of a pause this year to focus on the wild, beautiful journey of becoming a mother—though I did work Death Becomes Her up until 26 weeks, along with keeping up with recordings, readings, workshops, and auditions! So I guess that’s not THAT much of a break haha... but it’s definitely been at a different pace, being far more selective with my time and energy to put motherhood first. Every decision carries so much more weight now.

Transitioning into this new chapter has certainly brought its share of identity crises and deep reflection, but consider this post my official kick in the ass. ⚡️ A reminder to fight the fight, step back into the spotlight, and put myself out there.

Being a mother is only going to add more depth, heart, passion, and determination to my work. I can be a mother, an entrepreneur, and a badass actor. I’m not just doing this for me anymore—I’m doing it for my baby girl, so she grows up knowing what it looks like to pursue your passion fiercely. Watch us go. 💫

7 years ago today we made this video. 🎙️

Years after doing early demos in Oran’s apartment (back when the show was still Persephone!), we filmed this version for Mythic. Getting to help build a role from the ground up over time is my favorite part of working in NYC theatre.

Through the BMI Workshop, I’ve made some of the absolute loveliest friends, learned so much about myself as an artist and human, and had doors open that completely shaped my path here. Looking back on this reminds me of how powerful it is to just say yes to every opportunity that comes your way.

Listening back to this track hits on a whole new level now that I’m a mom to my own baby girl, thinking about the journey we’re on together. Though… hopefully she doesn’t send me on a literal path to hell like Persephone does! 😅

Grateful for the early process, the memories, and every door that opens along the way. 🎭

Still holding onto this memory so tightly today.
Back when the 9 to 5 tour hit Chicago, we got to celebrate Dolly’s birthday with her on official
“Dolly Day”-wrapped up in a giant hug from the queen herself and enjoying homemade fudge she personally made for us on the Dolly mobile.💕

Dolly was pure joy, grace, and kindness embodied. Getting to share that moment with her was absolute magic. While the world feels a little dimmer today and will never be quite the same without her light, the mark she left on all of us—and the legacy of her music and generosity—will shine forever.

Thank you for everything, Dolly. Rest in peace to a true icon and legend.

Aria’s very first road trip was one for the heart. 💛

We packed up the entire nursery, her Snoo, Ollie the cat, and our favorite four-month-old, and made the drive to Pittsburgh to visit family. Watching her meet Gigi and the rest of the crew for the first time made every single mile worth it. From her very first “swim” and pool party to celebrating four months with a whole half-sheet cake with her face on it (no tiny slice here! 😂🎂), every moment was so special.

But the memory I’ll hold closest is listening to her daddy play piano for her—bringing back our wedding song, Stevie Wonder’s “Something Out of the Blue,” just for our girl. 🥹✨

Between Wholey’s fish market run (Scott got us live lobsters for a lobster night!) Cinderlands brews, and watching her eyes light up at the aquarium fish at Pittsburgh Zoo, celebrating the half-Yinzer in her was pure magic.

Our hearts (and our car) have never been so full—we can’t wait to go back. 🖤💛

Me looking at this draft realizing it’s the final week of Death Becomes Her 😭😭 I was supposed to return from maternity leave, but the show is closing before I could make it back to the stage. Madeline and Helen would never let a newborn compromise their theater careers like this. 😂

Jokes aside, my heart hurts missing out on performing with this incredible company one last time. I’m so grateful for the memories, but now I’m ready to get back into the audition room and find my next Broadway home. Time to go book the next one! 💃🎭
