She was also part of the initial cast of the first nationwide tours of ‘Wicked’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Her acting career got a shot in the arm in 2000 when she got her debut break in the silver-screen. She landed a role in the movie ‘What Women Want’ produced by the well-known Hollywood actor, Mel Gibson.
