Had the pleasure of performing a solo concert at the Royal Swedish Opera this past weekend in celebration of the Swedish debut of Prima Donna! It’s now showing through December 1st. If you find yourself in Stockholm this fall I highly recommend taking the time to go see it!

What an incredible night!

The O2 Apollo Manchester was lit up with a breathtaking reimagining of Want One.

Huge thanks to conductor Lee Mills for guiding us through a spectacular journey of symphonic pop - and to our amazing audience for making it so special.

Join us tonight when we do it all over again for Want Two.

What an unforgettable night at Town Hall in NYC to celebrate the release of the live recording of my musical Opening Night, and in support of the ACLU’s LGBTQ and HIV Project.

I am so grateful to my dazzling friends Sara Bareilles, Justin Bond, Darren Criss, Patti LuPone, Elizabeth Teeter, and Betsy Wolfe for lending their voices and hearts to this show. Sharing the stage with you all was nothing short of magical.


Thank you to everyone who came out and packed it out, reminded me of why I decided to do this musical in the first place!
