One quick group photo before our matinee.
Two Pandas sleeping before a Two Show Day!
Okay, I've seen a lot of these photo features of people hitting up yoga and/or the gym before a two show day- I only hit the snooze button until nearly noon. Over and over again....
Seriously?! Is it time to get up?
Examining the leftover eyeliner from the night before. From the show or life?....the world may never know.
Yes, that was a vintage Playboy with Sally Field in my bathroom. Yes, it's the only Playboy I've ever owned. No, she is not the centerfold!
No time for laundry! Thank goodness I have an addiction to midnight online underwear buying.
Let's pump up the volume on Bing Crosby because it's time for.....
Tea and Tutus with Jeigh Madjus, my current roomie and former cast mate of <i>Here Lies Love</i>!
My subway rides are rather uneventful unless you include SAVING THE ENTIRE PLANET WITH THE MOST AWESOME POCKET MONSTERS.....ever.
Found our armless Venus De Milo outside (Lauren Elder) and I asked her to use those arms to show you our fabulous marquee.
Look, Ma! I've made it on a door!
I'm going to steal my name off this board. This I promise you.
Step right up to pick up some merchandise with Sean and Jacquie!
Someone brought donuts to the matinee. A. That is just mean for someone who has to wear a corset. B. There is theater lore about those who bring donuts to the show. Google it.
Obligatory Sign In Sheet Photo.
Stage manager, Matt Stern, ready to give me notes on....well...everything. Today's note? "Less is more, Kelvin."
I'm pretty sure my trainer at the gym called this favor in. My dressing room is on the 6th floor sans elevator.
But I'm greeted with a Broadway Debut gift from Jeigh Madjus- Siamese Orchids!
More gifts and trinkets that remind me of cast mates past. Poconos Kelly (from Conrad Ricamora, <i>Here Lies Love</i>), Coconut the Monkey (from Jeigh Madjus, <i>Here Lies Love</i>), Half Man Half Woman Decanter (from Tommy McDowell, <i>American Idiot</i>
Let's get this face beat!
Sometimes I can be a really helpful dressing room mate. (w/ Brandon Bieber)
And sometimes......
-a not so helpful creeper. But he's so handsome! (w/ Derek Hanson)
Robert strapping me into one of the many layers of my costume's under dressing.
She's lost. He's also lost.
When I was in high school, I learned that one should not eat in costume. I didn't do too well in high school either.
I spend a majority of my time onstage with Charity Dawson, our wondrous Fortune Teller. We strive to say hello before I literally run into her onstage.
Bye Bye, Blondie!
Hello, Half Blondie with the elegant Con O'Shea-Creal stealing some mirror space.
Running in one heel and one boot because as usual, I'm late!
Derek doing some pre-show pullups on the set. Kelvin doing some pre-show NOT pullups on the set.
One quick group photo before our matinee.
And one last boob check with my bestie, the Tattoo Girl (Hannah Shankman).
Our fabulous twin standby, Megan McGinnis! I'm obsessed with her. Like fangirl obsessed.
Only ladies in the Ladies' dressing room!
Ladies and goofballs!
Dinner time between shows in midtown can be hellish if you're looking for healthy food. Unless it's here at Green Symphony on 43rd!
Always tempted to get the American Idiot smoothie which is ultra delicious.
Opted to feed my addiction to Harmless Harvest Coconut water instead!
Today, I made the trek to the Balcony of the St. James to eat my dinner. I used to usher up here when I was in college and <i>The Producers</i> was still playing- Full circle. Dreams do come true.
Post dinner nap on the Actor's Equity cot. Our UNION provides! But using a foam roller as a pillow makes me pine for my panda.
And a little dessert before the evening show- Opening Night Cookies I have been hoarding. White chocolate covered Oreos.
Between shows Leanne does a little surgery on our Lizard Man's suit!
A glowing shoe rack full of water bottles....
....has claimed another thirsty victim. The ever debonair Josh Walker!
We got Matt Stern at Stage Management Central Control-
And our genius music director, Sam Davis, on the tube!
John Mcnulty preps me for Act Two.
The most "normal" costume I have in the show.
Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome to the Side Show.
These cupids are up to no good. Pecs belong to the suave Javier Ignacio.
And then there's this scandalous tap dancing Priest (Brandon Bieber).
Supervising another gender transformation....
Brandon Bieber as our 2nd Bearded Lady with Schlitze- one of our amazing puppets built, by Lou and Dave Elsey, to perfection.
Schlitze has many admirers including Trent and Blair!
Finally- Two Shows over and it's time to hit up our dressing room bar that we have affectionately named Bar Sei equipped with an ice Machine and everything.
Bulleit Rye on the rocks in a freaks glass please! The night is young!
Best way to celebrate a long day's work? It's with this beer and this handsome guy (Bruce Landon Huffman)! Cheers and hope to see you at the Side Show!
