Hi Phillipa Soo (Amélie)! I see Pippa two times during the show. I pass her as I'm coming off stage and as she gets set to enter for "Times are Hard for Dreamers". I love to send a smile her way, its my way of saying hello. And I see her again just before she enters as Zorro.
Bye Amélie! It's a privelage to tell this story each night with all at the Walter Kerr. We are one beating heart, a team, a family, hoping to spread a little compassion, joy, and kindness. Come see us!
