I always like to sing barefoot, but when I first started doing these dates with the symphonies, I of course thought I should clean up my act, being a Jewish girl from Long Island with a little bit of a trucker mouth. So I wore a gown and some high heels.
My story is so boring: Long Island Jewish parents take their daughters to Broadway.
I don't think I ever really knew the right words to 'Hava Nagilah,' which isn't great for a Jewish singer.
