Plays: Pepper, the tough one
On being a second-generation orphan: My mom played Tessie in the third national tour of Annie, so I’ve known about the show my whole life. I never saw the stage production, though: only the movie. I didn’t realize that the show has songs that weren’t in the movie.
On the first scene: This is where you really get to know the characters. You see how bossy I am when I beat up Madi Rae [July]. It’s also amazing when Katie Finneran comes in from the top of the stairs—she’s hilarious and perfect as Miss Hannigan.
Favorite city park: I love going to Bryant Park. During the summer, it’s fun to pick up food and sit outside. In the winter, the kiosks by the ice-skating rink are awesome. They have this fake syringe that’s filled with melted chocolate.—Rory Halperin
