2023 has proved to be one of the most stressful and rewarding years of my life. I vividly remember sitting behind my computer on the snowy day last January, overwhelmed with anxiety about what the future would hold….

SEPTEMBER 20TH, 2021
Sometimes you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. I won’t be making that mistake again! 🌎
I’ve spent the last 18 months on an emotional rollercoaster of uncertainty & sadness because of the crushing effects felt by my industry. I didn’t talk about it much because it seemed like such a small thing compared to what others were suffering. But let me tell you, it wasn’t & isn’t a small thing! When you love what you do so fiercely that it becomes your calling…having that taken away is like losing a piece of yourself.
I am currently hanging out in the south of France for a few months while working on a new project! As most of you know, I was lucky enough to perform my solo show throughout my last two contracts with Celebrity and had been booked to be performing on the Caribbean Princess during 2020…
What’s up world!? Yesterday I celebrated a rather big anniversary that I wanted to recognize.
On September 13th 2010, I packed my life into 3 bags and flew to LA to join my very first cruise ship! That’s right ladies and gentlemen, I have officially been working in the cruise entertainment industry for a decade. Clearly I started at 15 :-P
We have now been under stay at home orders for over a month and I finally feel like I am ready to talk about how it has personally affected me.
So what’s up next for me? This is always one of those questions that I am asked when I come back from a contract. As many of you know, I typically take longer breaks between contracts (especially ship ones). I do this for a few reasons…
For anyone that has been following me during the last year, you know that I have been working on writing & producing my own solo show…
Hello from the Baltic my friends!!! So far I have visited 14 European countries, a dozen islands in the Caribbean and am just about to start cruising the Mediterranean!
One of the most exciting parts of this particular contract is the number of new shows that I was able to learn! Since the majority of our cruises are 14 days, each cruise we have 5 full-scale production shows and two theme nights. If that sounds like a lot…it is haha!
A thrilling high paced spectacle of world-class ice skating and holiday cheer, Fallsview Casino’s Christmas On Ice features a winter wonderland of national championship ice skaters, dancers and singers that will fill you with the magic of the season.
Well hello world! I was waiting to post this until I had a chance to decompress a bit after getting off the ship this past Sunday… Plus I wanted to finish editing my new video :-)
During my downtime on the ship, I have been working on my new solo show entitled Twenty Something. I was fortunate enough to collaborate our onboard entertainment team to workshop the songs and this past week I was finally able to perform in front of an audience!
I am often asked how I started working on ships and what the day-to-day life is like. Here is a fun video put together by our onboard broadcasting team which will shed some light on those questions as well as featuring footage from our award winning production Chandelier ! Take a peek below deck and behind the scenes :-P
Last night we opened our last production here on the Celebrity Summit and it just so happens to be my favorite. Soundtrack is a high-energy revue show featuring the music of many films and movie musicals including The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge, The Wizard of Oz and many more.
Here we go again!! We have only been on the ship for a few days but its time to open our second show. I have to say that installing shows in such a short time span is truly a testament to the hard work of my amazing cast. It’s not everyday that you throw in a live band, sets & costumes in under 24 hours! The shows itself is a concert style production exploring the universality of human emotion.
Today we opened the first of our three main stage productions here on the Celebrity Summit. This is one of the newest shows in the fleet and also one of my favorites to perform! Unlike so many cruise ship shows
I've been keeping a lid on this one for awhile but one month from today I will be join the cast of the Celebrity Summit!!! First its off to Miami for 8 weeks to learn all of our shows and then joining the ship on December 2nd in San Juan!
I just wanted to pop in and do a quick update. Things have been going really well here in the city. It might be hard to believe, but I think I have more little projects than ever before...
“Pounding the Pavement…”
No matter what you call it…auditions are a huge part of life as a performer! While living in Vegas, there weren’t a whole lot of them so, I would drive down to LA from time to time just to keep fresh. One thing that I have learned over the years is that auditioning is a totally different skill set and if you don’t practice, you loose it!
Hey friends, I hope that everyone had a beautiful holiday season! I was lucky enough to enjoy some much-needed family time back in Pittsburgh but, now its back to work. Some of you may find this surprising but I have never actually lived in New York! When I graduated college, I pretty much went straight to cruise ships and after that, it was on to Las Vegas. After a few great years in the desert, it finally felt like the right time to make the big move to NYC.
Well Las Vegas, it has been quite a ride but all good things must come to an end! When I moved here, just over two and a half years ago, I had no plans for what was coming next. I took a leap and trusted the universe to catch me. I never imagined that I would make so many amazing friends and have the opportunity to work with such incredible artists.
Tonight, exactly 60 years to the day, the Las Vegas company of Million Dollar Quartet take our final bow after 1,512 performances. I consider myself blessed to have called this incredible group my family for nearly two years!
