She went to and open-call audition for the musical "Rent" in Nashville, Tennessee, where she and only one other person were chosen for callbacks in New York City. After auditioning for "Rent" for over four years, Kirchner eventually landed the role of Mimi on tour in the U.S. and Japan. Soon after the tour, she was offered the incredible opportunity to appear in the Broadway production, but put that on hold, to appear on the WB series "Just Legal."
