More Quotes from Laura Benanti:
Also a songwriter (and guitarist), she's working on a solo CD. It's kind of up in the air, ... I'm having a hard time I want to make it special. Musical theatre is my first love. My writing is sort of folk-rock. I get compared to Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell though I'm not nearly as talented as either. Neither a straight-pop album nor a musical-theatre album seems the way to go. I want to take my music and orchestrate it in a kind of old fashioned style, and take some standards and 'popularize' them do a true crossover. I'm working on it.Laura Benanti

I loved working with Sterling Brown and Del Pentecost. It was a great learning experience.
