"Well, good morning, my handsome, hairy husband."
The day always starts with a BIG glass of agua. The Times is a weekend bonus!
Cozy under the umbrella on the way to brunch...
You can find us here every Saturday. Who are we kidding? We are here at least three mornings a week....easy.
Me: "Will you take our picture?".....Him: "Don't you want mine?"
Our happy place.
Putting some vinyl on one of our TWO record players...
...so that I can make my green juice with a little musical accompaniment.
"You wanna mess with me?"
Almost there...a green juice a day, keeps the doctor away.
Dropping my Soul Doctor off. Have a good two shows, love!
Hey! Look who I ran into! It's <i>Chicago</i>'s Paul C. Vogt! A quick hello as he headed to visit E over at <i>Soul Doctor</i>. He's a good dude.
If you visit the theatre during the day, you will meet Gus. He is the gate keeper.
Look!! In the last month we've had TWO babies born. Cara Cooper had Elin and Jared Bradshaw welcomed Georgia. So exciting!
Sara Schmidt, the first face I see when I enter the dressing room...and her diet coke. :)
Pretty much what happens during half hour...visits. And food.
Some of our shoes, ready for showtime.
Getting wigged. For the first of umpteen times....
Almost there...
This is how Renee Marino goes down to get her wig on. Hot. (Nice photo bomb Candi)
Candi just filing her toenails. As you do when you're the swing and have time to fill. Lots of nails get painted in this room.
PLACES!
Seems that someone snuck a pic.
Hi, Russell!
Pick a disguise! The mens upstage facial hair station.
This is not only the hallway connecting the stage door and dressing rooms to the rest of the theatre, but it's also a quick change booth! At one point, there are 6 of us in here.
The part where we have to wear our underwear is here. It's our favorite part....can't you tell?
Drew Gehling grabs a snack to help him push thru act two.
Hi Sara & Andy!
Erik Bates & Miles Aubrey plan their fantasy football draft. Or their fantasy baseball draft...it's neverending here...
ACTION SHOT! Matinee is DONE!
Meeting my BFF for our standing Saturday between shows dinner date....
Hey there, it's <i>Book of Mormon</i>'s Michael James Scott! Love our weekly catch up time....
A two-show day calls for Starbucks. Naturally, he gives fierceness on the way in.
Someone's excited to sign in.
Stage Management's door. All the weddings and babies that have occurred in the almost 8 YEARS JB has been running.
Brendan & Jay holding down the fort.
Of course, Andy Karl is jumping rope in the alley. Why not?
rraawwwrrrr!!!!
Every performance of the show. With little designs and such to notate important and interesting events....I got here in the middle of the row that ends with 2076. Yep.
You can go to the tour, Vegas or come to Broadway and you will always find Head Carp Mike Kelly in this exact spot.
Hi Hazel & Tim! (They rock)
I'm gonna decorate the stairs in my house like this.
I think I need MORE things on my spot. Good grief.
Our six-show Frankie has arrived for the evening show. Ride snakes out there, Scags.
Welcome to The Nunyah Lounge.
Otherwise known as Drew's dressing room. It's got that special something extra going on....
"Hey girl!"
Miles loves pastries. You might have guessed that by the pure joy and anticipation on his face. Get. It.
That kind of day, huh, guys?....PLACES!
We can always rely on John Edwards for a smile.
Still working on the paper...it's a weekend long process.
Sara keeps up with her peeps and what's trending while vocal doubling. On the stairs. It's a special talent.
"Double, double toil and trouble..."
I love this dressing. Mexican Goddess. Get IN IT, y'all!!! (It's the little things)
Shenanigans while waiting for the audience to get back to their seats. This happens nightly. It's like I work in a fraternity. And I love it.
At this point in the day, I've changed my clothes & wig 34 times. Here comes Lorraine.
And just like that, I'm a nurse.
This is the very serious part of the show. When a nurse and a priest show up, it can't be good.
This is Nick Staub. He takes good care of the boys and is awesome. Night, love!
I found Candi! At Carmine's to celebrate Joseph Leo Bwarie making his Bway debut as our two-show Frankie.
Sara, Denise Payne, Joseph Leo Bwarie & Candi. Good times with all kinds of JB family!
Peace out, y'all. It's been fun, but there's a platter of antipasto waiting. And I mean, a PLATTER. Night!
