Getting Ready | Playbill

It’s time to start Getting Ready! We all have our own unique routines. These are the personal rituals that enable us to start, get through, and end our busy days. We don’t just get ready when we begin our day. Before every meeting, city commute, or first date, there are little things we do that mentally and physically prepare us for the task ahead. What if you were about to take one of the world’s biggest stages? What would you need to feel prepared and confident?

This video series peers into the dressing room of Broadway’s biggest stars, asking what the most in-demand performers do as part of their pre-show ritual. Before the curtain rises, is there a snack that fuels them, a drink that hydrates them, or makeup product that brings their character to life? These are behind-the-scenes quirks that only Playbill can deliver to you. This new series will reveal the inspirations behind legendary “lewks”, to detail how a character is formed from page to stage, and to showcase the tools your favorite stars cannot perform without.
