After leaving the Disney Channel, Christy Carlson Romano was the youngest person to play Belle in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. She also played Mary Phagan in the musical Parade, and she played Lucy the Slut and Kate Monster in Avenue Q. It's certainly a diverse résumé!

"The way I look at it, when the going gets tough, the tough go to Broadway," Romano told Broadway.com in 2008. She also told the outlet that her voice work (Kim Possible, anyone?) had helped her prepare for the vocal register changes in Avenue Q. (Still, Romano also noted that she was definitely "not in Disneyland anymore" when it came to the adult themes of the irreverent musical.)

Heading to Broadway also brought Romano back to her theater-kid roots. When she was just 7, Romano acted in the musical The Will Rogers Follies at New York's Palace Theatre. So, in a way, those Broadway years were a full-circle moment for the former child star.
