Two Pandas sleeping before a Two Show Day!
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
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....
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
Seriously?! Is it time to get up?
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
Examining the leftover eyeliner from the night before. From the show or life?....the world may never know.
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
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!
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
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.....

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.

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.
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
But I'm greeted with a Broadway Debut gift from Jeigh Madjus- Siamese Orchids!
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
More gifts and trinkets that remind me of cast mates past. Poconos Kelly (from Conrad Ricamora, Here Lies Love), Coconut the Monkey (from Jeigh Madjus, Here Lies Love), Half Man Half Woman Decanter (from Tommy McDowell, American Idiot), Juggling Balls (from IDK, I'm sorry?)

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!

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.
Kelvin Moon Loh and Brandon Andrus
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 The Producers 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.
