A 27-year-old actress from Astoria, N.Y., Autumn thinks she has what it takes to be Broadway's next Elle Woods. She tried out for Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods because she would love the opportunity to bring something new to the character -- she thinks her "dorky and quirky" nature will help her score the role and make the audience fall in love with Elle even more.

Autumn has been performing since she was 3 years old and used to sing into a turkey baster to entertain her family. She played Belle in Beauty and the Beast but says her favorite role was as Eponine in Les Miserables.

Originally from Arizona, Autumn studied musical theater at the University of Northern Colorado. She moved to New York after graduating but almost quit pursuing her Broadway dream because she was broke. Her motivation to keep reaching for the stars was -- and is -- her family, especially her grandparents, who hope they get the opportunity to see her play Elle Woods.

Autumn is about to get the chance to make all her dreams come true on Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for Elle Woods!
