Even though her first attempt was a failure, Debby would end up with a great stage career, and she spoke about one of her favorite performances, "In musical theater, usually the challenge for me is that everything is too high. I am a true alto. There are not many leading roles written for altos, I love musical theater, and I love working in a company. There's nothing quite like the energy of working with a full cast and an orchestra. Anna in The King was my favorite one; that show is so well constructed from beginning to end. There is something so wonderful in the arc of the character of Anna & how she evolved and what she learned. It's such a beautiful story with such a beautiful message. It has everything from beautiful costumes, dancing and cultural differences. The King grows & learns, & she grows and learns. Everybody makes transformations in that show. It's a huge undertaking to do. When that show starts, from the time you set foot on the stage to the final bow, it's like riding a wave; it's so well written. You go with it."

Boone's first book was an autobiography titled Debby Boone So Far. She also wrote books for children, including The Snow Angel, Tomorrow Is a Brand New Day, and Counting Blessings. The Snow Angel was released in audio form too, which included original songs by Mari Falcone.
