After that, she knew she wanted to sing, so when she g...( read more)raduated Syosset High School after studying classical arts, she started singing at bars and clubs in Long Island. While she was earning pocket money, she joined a wedding band and was the lead singer. But at age 15, you couldn't...and that's why she lied about her age. After that, she was enrolled in NYU's School of the Arts. She signed up for Drama, because trying to get a record deal was harder than she thought. Later she saw a audition for Rent, and was casted as Maureen Johnson. She met her husband to be Taye Diggs there too, and got married in January 2003. She also planned her own record, "Still I Want To Be Still". She starred in The Wild Party, Aida, and later, she was cast as the memorable role of Elphaba in Wicked. Her last name was originally spelled "Mentzel" but she decided to take the T out because everyone pronounced it incorrectly.
