STEFFANIE LEIGH (Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins)

What's the best Valentine's gift you ever gave—or received?
Can you beat those little Strawberry Shortcake cards with a chocolate stuck on its front? Third grade...Come on!

Tell us the perfect menu for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner.
Something with lots and lots of garlic...and when my boyfriend still kisses me, it’s a testament to how much he loves me!

What Broadway song would you use for a Valentine's Day serenade?
“Say it Somehow” from The Light in the Piazza. There is something so beautiful about these two characters that cannot express their love through words. They need the music. Adam Guettel gives them this beautiful line to sing and they express their love in an "Ah." That just seems right to me. Love is such a huge, rich, deep, complex feeling that it is more effectively expressed through song than spoken.
