Meet Ellen
Ellen
Where do you live? Tempe
Age: 31
Occupation: Marketing Director
Marital Status? Single
Where did you grow up? Hodgenville, Kentucky. The only interesting thing that has ever happened there is that it’s where Abraham Lincoln was born. And before you ask, yes, I’m sure he wasn’t born in Illinois.
First Broadway show, and where you saw it: Cats. I’m only moderately embarrassed because I was a little kid and I thought it was MAGICAL.
What is your favorite Broadway show? Sweet Charity. The 2006 revival with Christina Applegate and Denis O’Hare was so much fun. Plus, I had no idea how many well known songs were from that show!
What are your hobbies? Reading, traveling, spending time with family and friends, abusing the ellipsis….
A song and artist that speaks to you: I’m currently obsessed with everything by Florence + the Machine.
Something Unique about yourself that defines you: Every first born daughter in my family, including myself, has the same middle name - Mather. It’s pretty ridiculously Southern to have a last name as a middle name, but I like the tradition behind it and the fact that nobody else outside of my family ever has my middle name.
