All that I know is I'm breathing... for now. I may not be in a few days. Yes, that's right: singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson will be joining the cast of the Broadway musical Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812.

Michaelson is known for hit singles including "The Way I Am," "Keep Breathing," and, more recently, "Girls Chase Boys". While Michaelson appeared on the hit Hamilton Mixtape album, this role will mark her on-stage Broadway debut.

Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812 is an electro-pop opera based on a 70-page section of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, and was the front-runner of this year's Tony Awards with a whopping 12 nominations. The musical tells the story of Natasha, a young woman who loses her high position in society upon being seduced by a married man, and her only chance for redemption is sought-after in the form of a lonely man named Pierre.

The folk-pop singer-songwriter will be taking the role of Natasha's cousin, Sonya, for a six-week run starting July 3 and ending August 13.

Michaelson won't be stumbling into this role half-heartedly or by random chance. She revealed in an Instagram post on June 26 that Broadway had always been in her mind. The post consisted of a video of her eighth-grade self-singing on stage in her first lead role in a musical theater production. She writes, "This was me in 8th grade. My first lead role. I dreamt of being on Broadway then. As I grew I gave it up. I never thought I had the right kind of voice. Thank you to Dave Malloy and @greatcometbway for embracing the non-traditional. Now I'm making my Broadway debut in ONE WEEK. Dreams come true."

Thank YOU, Ingrid, for reminding us to never give up and strive to embrace the non-traditional.

Good luck, Ingrid. You'll make us so proud.

Just remember to "keep breathing!"
