She impresses audiences and critics alike. Ms. Roginski talked to us about her life, career and achievements thus far. At the age that most of us are still taking naps in the afternoon, Lindsay was already in dance class. She also trained with her grandmother, a Big Band singer, who taught her how to sing and play piano at a very young age.She saw her first Broadway show at sixteen, Chicago the Musical, and knew it was her future. In preparation for her Broadway debut, Lindsay attended The American Musical and Dramatic Academy. She moved to New York, and began working toward her goal, to star on Broadway. She took any job she could find, and landed a job selling souvenir programs for Chicago, on Broadway. With this job came the guarantee she could watch and learn the show every night, it was fate! She finally got the chance to audition and became Roxie Hart in Chicago, proving dreams do come true.Ms. Roginski shared with MOST about her passion for fitness, her habits and what new exercise she plans to add. Read on to find out what song she %u201cknocked out of the park%u201d and what choreographers inspire her.With her dream of lighting up Broadway accomplished what%u2019s next? To Star in the new hit show in Las Vegas, Steve Wynn%u2019s ShowStoppers, where she is no doubt leaving her mark.MFM: You have been to most of the major cities in the United States, what city was your favorite to perform in and why?LR: I would have to say it%u2019s a tie between New York and Las Vegas. Both major entertainment capitals and I feel so blessed to perform in both places. They each have their own unique qualities, but what makes them similar is their appreciation of the arts. MFM: Normally dancers have practice for the show, but do you do any workouts outside of these practices and if so what do your prefer to do?LR: One of my favorite things to do is workout, I do various things outside of my show routine. I am a big runner, I run anywhere from 3 to 6 miles a day. I practice yoga, Bikram mostly; it feels good not only physically but mentally. I leave centered, focused, and peaceful. In my opinion there is nothing better than hopping on my bike and going for a ride. I don%u2019t get to do it as often as I would like. There%u2019s something so gratifying about feeling the breeze on your face while taking in beautiful scenery.Something I haven%u2019t done yet but have just signed up for is Silks. I%u2019ve always been curious about and fascinated by them. I%u2019m excited for a new challenge!MFM: Your dream of starring in Chicago came true! What%u2019s next for you?LR: Well, I am currently a principal singer in Steve Wynn%u2019s ShowStoppers, which is also a dream come true. We are doing the hit numbers from some of the best musicals of all time, including Chicago. I feel so lucky to be a part of this show, working with our amazing Director Phil McKinley, our Choreographer Marguerite Derricks, and our wonderful cast and crew.
