The bright Chicago morning sun wakes Gretta Garbone (my teacup Maltese) and I up for our well-deserved day off!
Guy Smith
My little Gretta. I got her while playing Anytime Annie in 42nd Street on Broadway, where she became one of the mascots backstage.
Guy Smith
I like to look put-together on my day off... just in case
Guy Smith
Nothing can compare to the beautiful things I wear in Kinky Boots. handpicked by the FABULOUS Gregg Barnes. So I like to keep it a little rock n' roll with my high flying Trans Am t-shirt. Always a crowd pleaser.
Guy Smith
My amazing view of the city of Chicago. You can't see it, but the biggest McDonalds I have ever seen is just to my left. It spans an entire city block! LOL.
Guy Smith
Off to get something to eat. Chicago is such a picture perfect, clean city. It's so nice.
Guy Smith
I know I shouldn't be eating chocolate cake for breakfast but it's SOOOOO good.
Guy Smith
Seriously Portillos chocolate cake is the greatest chocolate cake I have ever eaten. Apparently it's made with mayonnaise instead of oil… gross to some… heaven to me!
Guy Smith
On a cake-induced sugar rush I buy up all the Chicago memorabilia I can find!
Guy Smith
Now I'm heading to Nordstrom's to shop for some appropriate opening night shoes. It is after all a show about shoes, so they need to be stellar!
Guy Smith
"Gimmie Jimmy Choo Choo Choo Choo Choo Choo Shoes!" some lyrics from Kinky Boots, as written by Cyndi Lauper.
Guy Smith
Look who it is! I stumble upon my dressing roommate Annaleigh Ashford! She is also looking for something Kinky for opening night.
Guy Smith
Our dressing room!
Guy Smith
Our stations at work… organized chaos! Here comes Halloween!
Guy Smith
Back to the shoes… what’s the highest heel we can find for opening night?
Guy Smith
Got a text from Tory Ross saying there is a small get together at her place.
Guy Smith
Picking up drinks for everyone! Can't show up empty-handed, where are my manners?
Guy Smith
An impromptu photo of the coolest cast I have ever worked with! Andy Kelso, Jen Perry, Tory Ross, Eric Anderson, Me, Adinah Alexander and Annaleigh Ashford
Guy Smith
Just hanging around with Andy Kelso and a skull. This is musical theatre, so our skulls sparkle.
Guy Smith
Some of the cast of Kinky Boots just hanging out… Paul seems to think "It's A Hit!" Paul Canaan, Tory Ross, Eric Anderson, Jen Perry, Annaleigh Ashford, Adinah Alexander, Gracie (the dog), Andy Kelso and me!
Guy Smith
I've gotta sneak into the theatre tonight so I can get ready for opening night! Thanks for spending my day off with me. Looking forward to bringing Kinky Boots to Broadway!
