So, I said, I&#x27;ve done that already. I don&#x27;t want to do another musical. I want something different. I want to sing songs that I want to sing, the ones I bopped my head to. I wanted to sing songs that have meaning to me.”</p><p>Carla recently starred in the PETA Theater’s musical adaptation of the hit movie <em>One More Chance</em>, featuring the songs of Ben&amp;Ben, where she played Edith and Rose.</p><p>The Laforteza family is clearly having a significant year, with both mother and daughter achieving remarkable milestones in their respective fields.</p><div><br/></div><p>— By Samantha Prats</p>
