She made her Broadway debut as Belle in Beauty and the Beast in September 2005, bringing warmth and clear vocal lines to a beloved heroine. In November 2006, she originated Mary Poppins on Broadway, a role she revisited in the US national tour (2009–2010). Her performance prowess continued to grow on stage at venues such as The Muny (The Sound of Music, 2010) where she earned a Kevin Kline Award nomination/recognition, and in Limelight: The Story of Charlie Chaplin at La Jolla Playhouse (2010). Her artistry expanded to concert stages, including a Carnegie Hall New York Pops debut in 2013.
