I've never had the goal of wanting to work on Broadway. I don't like the atmosphere in NYC and could never live there on a permanent basis. I'm a midwest girl, and after spending 10 years touring the US, pretty much figured out that the area that fit my personality was the midwest. I could possibly live in the pacific northwest, but have nothing drawing me there at this time.
As well, most of the really successful shows on Broadway run for years, and I don't think that I could work on one show that long. I would do one show for 9 months at a time on tour, but there was always challenges with each day's venue or town that made life interesting and varied. I'm at a roadhouse now, and I have that variety still. My goal out of college was to tour, which I've done, and that goal morphed into becoming a venue person once I got tired of the road. Fairly happy with where I'm at now. I make my full time living with theatre, have good benefits. All that I was really looking for.
