Role: Princess Jasmine understudy/swing
Years with the show: 5
Favorite memory: The Tony Awards. As a young, theater-loving child, I always watched the Tonys, so when I finally got there, I couldn't believe it. I remember rehearsing and meeting all these stars backstage, and just trying to play it cool, but we belonged there, too.
Favorite show moment: \"Arabian Nights\" is my favorite number to perform. It's kind of our one chance to break the fourth wall and actually look at the audience and invite them into Agrabah. In the beginning it was kind of scary because everyone was on stage all at onc,e so it's a lot to take in, but now that I'm comfortable with the show and used to doing it, now it's very fun.
Favorite lyric: All of \"A Whole New World.\" Growing up with that movie, we all know it and love it.

Role: Dance captain/swing
Years with the show: 5
Favorite memory: The first time we put on our costumes during the show preview in Toronto. We were all just anticipating being in the theater and seeing everyone in those gorgeous Arabian nights costumes ... [that] stands out in my mind.
Favorite show moment: In the beginning of \"Arabian Nights,\" we have a choreography section with these silks and it's beautiful. I also really enjoy going on as an attendant and getting to be part of \"Palace Walls\" with Jasmine, and signing that song and being the fortune teller sometimes is really a lot of fun because I get to be silly and sing solo lines and just put myself out there in a different way.
Favorite lyric: The very beginning of \"A Whole New World\" where Aladdin says, \"You must feel trapped inside these walls / We'll run away just you and me / Why not escape as evening falls? / There's a whole world you've yet to see.\" There's something about it that's just so romantic.
