The path Laura Osnes took led her to become one of Broadway’s biggest stars—a two-time Tony nominee whose Main Stem credits include Grease, Cinderella, Bonnie & Clyde, South Pacific and Anything Goes. But what about the path she didn’t take? In her exciting new 54 Below show The Paths Not Taken (Dec 9-15), Osnes revisits shows, roles and songs that didn’t work out for one reason or another. BroadwayBox caught up with the delightful leading lady for a 10-question interview in which she had to respond to each question with a song from the set list to The Paths Not Taken.
1. Song to describe growing up:
"Part Of Your World"—Basically every girl's staple song from childhood.

"Let Me Be Your Star"

"Look With Your Heart"
