Natalie Charle Ellis: "My mom is an amazing, loving, driven, passionate, CRAZY woman. (I get the crazy from her! Ha!). I wouldn't be where I am today, doing what I love to do, if it weren't for her pushing me and believing in me. I am a lucky girl.
Half Anjelica, Half Mormon.
Anjelica Huston, Matt Stone and Katharine McPhee just hanging out.
Well, we learned our lesson. Don't eat that much in between shows! uuuggghhhh!
MY WIG FELL OFF ONSTAGE! During my interpretive dance, it fell off, and I decided to incorporate it in my routine. Scott almost lost it.
Now i get to eat the last pumpkin cookie Ray sent me for Halloween! YUMMY!
And this is my warm up for the second show.
Back to work!
YAY DAVE AND BUSTERS! (I love taking these kinda photos.)
They had 3-person Air Hockey! Scott and Marcus kinda teamed up on me! NOT FAIR!
Then, we decided to shoot some stuff. Turns out I am not very good at this game. Which is kinda sad, because with two older brothers and years of being forced to play with them, I should be better!
It was Happy Hour. And Scott was not excited that we couldn't take advantage of it.
I'M RUNNING LATE!
You caught me on a busy day. In between shows I have a commercial audition! Auditioning for the role of "Mom." Still not crazy about that.
Bless you my child! Yes, I am Jesus. And yes, I wear 1 1/2 Black Capezio Character Heels while playing Jesus.
Idina lives on
A little Katharine McPhee in "Smash."
Mary by Night? Half "Rock of Ages Skank," as we like to call her, and half Mary Poppins.
Me as Mary Poppins backstage.
Catherine Zeta Jones lovin' the camera.
Here's a little Kelli O'Hara lovin' for ya!
Scott getting into his "Stacee Jaxx" character in the wings.
Now, please hold while I warm up in the bathroom.
Now a nice steam...lubricate those chords! I sing all over the place in this show, from Idina, to Audra, to Katharine McPhee...so I gots to take care of myself!
Here's my station. Yes i know it's a bit cluttered but it makes me smile everyday I come in. Pictures of people and funny notes and cards from opening. My favorite is the "Don't hate me/I'm sorry" tag from my costume designer Phillip.
Had to make a couple stops on the way to work... I needed some lip liner... and I decided on some WET AND WILD! Cause I'm a Wild girl (and it's the cheapest.)
Fresh breath...just for you! =)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I can't believe I'm putting this picture on Playbill...but, you're getting the REAL life in the day with Natalie Charle Ellis. And funny faces is what I do for a living right now.
Aaaaaaannnnndddd Run Complete! Now back home to make some breakfast.
Now it's workout time! I'm gonna go for a jog around the hood. But I had to show you this tank top. It's from my very first "professional theatre" director, Kathy Conry. Anywhoo...I love it. And I love her, and I love my agents. BOOM
HYDRATION TIME! Some water with our fancy new Britta that we just purchased from across the bridge at the Bronx Terminal. (We just moved into this place, and there are TONS of perks living up near the Bronx. SHOPPING is one!)
THE ALARM GOES OFF!!!!!!!! Never really happy the first time it goes off. And I'll be honest… I hit snooze probably twice and stare at the ceiling for a bit. I know you all do that too!!
Well, here I am. Sleeping peacefully. Dreaming. So comfy in my brand new bed (that I just got an AMAZING deal on btw.) All snuggly in my covers...and then...

Thanks for coming along with me on this two show day! =) Hope to see you all soon!
Now home. Tomorrow we have rehearsal as well as a show, so I gotta relax and take it easy. Read a little and have a snack, maybe watch some West Wing. The options are endless!
And SURPRISE! We had a couple friends surprise us. Lesli Margherita and Travis Waldschmidt announced themselves as “the cast of Matilda”. I have some funny friends. Hung out in Brightman’s dressing room to catch up!
WE MADE IT! Show #2 down. Now we get to sit and chill and unwind with a beverage and some giggles. Didn't realize till the end of the day that we were denim sisters, so had to take a photo! Here’s Mamie, me, and our fabulous swing Lulu Lloyd!
Now here is Michael Hartney. It is very difficult keeping a straight face around this one. He makes me laugh so hard it hurts. And that happens quite often.
Here are the Roadhouse chicks! Couldn't get a great photo cause it’s a fast change, but I love these looks. It is so fun being in a show where I go from being an old crazy teacher to a tattooed bartender and then a sassy mom in a fabulous poncho. Love my job.
Show #2! Cassie, Luca Padovan, Corinne Wilson, Jersey and Ethan chillin’ backstage.
Spencer Moses is right across the hall from our dressing room and he decided to bring some instruments in and the kids occasionally have a jam session in there. It’s so much fun. These kids are amazing. There is Gavin Kim, Ethan and Jersey Sullivan with Spencer.
Its Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids time to collect! And we’re doing a fun thing where for $10 you can buy a postcard designed by a SOR cast member. Jaygee came up with this one. So fun!
Ms.Barb B. Gordon and Mrs. Sheinkopf are festive party animals. Emily Cramer is my partner in crime. After we did the Les Miserables Broadway revival together, I decided I wanted to do everything with her…and look what happened! We moved to School of Rock together! She's stuck with me.
Jaygee had seaweed snacks and our Dance Captain/Swing Patrick O’Neill and Cassie decided to give it a try…still can’t tell if they like it or not.
My MD Darren thinks I’m the coolest. I mean look at my lounge attire. I am totally the coolest.
Spencer Moses and Mamie Parris teamed up!
Because of spring break we are in a stretch of 16 shows in a row right now. Yup. So to keep everyone sane, our amazing stage managers decided to have some fun and planned a game or contest for every day. Today was the game Password. I decided to watch and not play, and I’m so glad I did. Here’s our stage manager Bonnie trying to explain the rules to Jaygee and Cassie. Oh how I wish i could post a video! Hahaha.
My mom loves to send care packages. (That’s what a lot of those stuffed animals and pictures at my station are from!) So I decided to send my mom a care package for Easter. Who doesn't like Easter candy?
After a quick nap, what do you need? Another coffee. A quick trip to Starbucks should do the trick.
WE MADE IT! ONE SHOW DOWN! Did I mention we have a good time? NAP TIME! Cassie, Emily, and I love a good floor nap.
I love this woman. I did my first national tour, 9-5 the Musical, with Mamie Parris and now were in a big hit Broadway show together.
We, (the female ensemble) like to call ourselves the “Aunties.”.It is kinda unusual having kids aged 10-15 as your co-workers, but we love them so much and share a very special bond. We give this one a very hard time. And you can tell how Ethan Khusidman feels about that.
These ladies of Horace Green loooooove their pretzels. One of our crew members, Frank, keeps some pretzels stocked for the company so Cassie Okenka, Jaygee Macapugay, Emily Cramer, Sierra Boggess and I take a seat in our “faculty lounge” and DIG IN!
I’m running a little behind. (I had to eat my cake. Priorities.) My wig call is at places and I was still in my normal clothes and I was told that Barb (that’s my teacher’s name) looked like she was from Montana. So, I thought i would share this with you!
CAKE! SO MUCH CAKE!!! This one is especially good - red Velvet with cream cheese frosting. It’s very hard to be healthy around here. Everyone likes to bake, or bring cookies, and the adult ensemble has something called “meat club,” organized by Alan H. Green, where we go to a different restaurant every month. We all love to hang out and we like food.
Birthday Club time! It’s our rockstar Brandon Niederauer’s birthday! Being in a big company means there are a lot of birthdays! Which means a lot of singing, and a lot of…
And then there’s this fool, Steven Booth. We go back YEARS. So glad he’s part of this company now. =)
We work hard, but we still like to have a good time. Not quite sure what John Hemphill is doing, but he doesn't have to do much to make me laugh.
Vocal warm-up time. Every Wednesday before our first show we do a group warm-up, which is a chance for us to be together and to get some notes. Gotta work on our craft!
And here’s another thing you have to see that we just giggle at and love. Our No Vacancy Boys (Jeremy Woodard, Merritt David Janes, Alan H. Green, Tally Sessions and Alex Brightman) gave us that photo for opening night and Jaygee received these figurines from her Secret Santa so we decided to model them as the boys. There is a lot of detail work. I mean, she used her false eyelashes for Brightman’s hair and beard. True Art.
Ok, I have to show you a couple of things in our dressing room. I share with Cassie Okenka and Jaygee Macapugay, and we are very silly. This is our window garden. It consists of succulent plants, a solar bobble head cupid, devil, and lucky kitty (with rock fingers!) and a garden troll that I got from my Secret Santa.
Step into my office. This is my dressing room station. No, this is not the children's dressing room. I like photos and stuffed animals, and I’m proud of it!
Hey! Have you guys seen where School of Rock is? I wish they had a big sign letting me know where it is!!! =) Pretty cool this is where I get to go to work everyday. I still have to pinch myself sometimes.
I survived! And now because it’s beautiful out I decided to go for a walk through one of my favorite spots in the city, Lincoln Center
And I’m off! First stop…Fly Wheel. I’ve joined Class Pass and now I try random studios and have a support group that goes with me sometimes. It’s awesome. Summer’s almost here!
Morning coffee time. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to keep a schedule, make lists, and journal. I discovered this thing called the Passion Planner and it is everything and more. I do it every morning. And yes, I'm drinking my coffee out of a Spiderman Mug. =)
Here is one of my favorite items in my kitchen. My friend from Les Miz, John Rapson, recommended it to me and now I'm addicted. It is a breakfast sandwich maker. Yeah, that’s right. Best thing…EVER! GET ONE
My amazing girlfriend Mallory got me a Birchbox subscription for Valentine’s Day and I just got my March box in the mail. I love a beauty sample, so let’s give this one a try. Takes away the bags under your eyes?! Sign me up!
Now I get to lounge in the plush fancy robe I got from one of our fierce girl swings, Ava Della Pietra. Sooooooo comfy!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOOOOOOOOOOOORNING! This is how my cat, Oliver, decides to wake me up, every morning. Sometimes it’s very hard to love him, but he’s so pretty. I’M UP!!!
