She doesn’t just watch the currently running (and unnamed) musical on stage every night she’s friends with the cast and with other theater professionals involved with the production. She lives with her family in the Shubert Theater. Unlike most other such dreamers her age, Lulu (as everybody calls her) is as savvy about Broadway as it’s possible to be. Now Gavigan has made her own contribution to the genre with “ Lulu the Broadway Mouse ” (Running Press Kids), a book geared to readers age 9 to 12, about a young mouse named Lucy Louise who wants to be a star on Broadway. Federle has since become the author of the Nate series of young adult novels peering backstage at Broadway. When Jenna Gavigan made her Broadway debut at age 16 as a member of the ensemble in the 2003 revival of Gypsy, she shared the stage at the Shubert Theater not just with stars Bernadette Peters and Tammy Blanchard, but with Tim Federele, who was also making his Broadway debut – and also, presumably, with a family of mice.
