Waking up for a two show day…my right eye wakes up much later.
Why yes I have way too many roommates. 3 friends from childhood and some guy. Oh wait, it's my boyfriend!
Gotta practice in heels after 5 days off. What to eat for breakfast?
Oh right, beauty queens don't eat on Pageant days. So I'll just hold this apple.
"Hair-aware with Air-repair by Glamouresse."
Time to shave my whole body again.
One hour later…The roomies are waiting to use the one bathroom.
Tend Skin. Hell in a bottle, but also a life saver. The Pageant girls swear by it. (Tend Skin you can send free bottles directly to me).
Subway ride means being stuck at level 350 for 4 months. Astoria to Midtown.
52nd St & 8th Ave. Show #1. Ushering <i>Jersey Boys</i>. One of my fav shows, see it if for some reason you haven't!
Across the street from <i>Jersey Boys</i> was Lucky Cheng's, home of the 1st incarnation of "Pageant" for BC/EFA. RIP Lucky Cheng's.
Dream role. I plan on replacing Joseph Leo Bwarie as Frankie Valli. I've seen the show hundreds of times, now to find a way to take him out… (Tara Rubin I'm ready).
Hey, look backstage they have info for <i>Pageant</i> posted! See you there Jersey Boys.
I pretend like I'm signing in. Just joshing.
Stay on the striped line to get to the front of the house.
1,200 seats. The crowd has no idea what they're in for!
Changing room with the diva of the the ushers. Doing his Voodoo dance again.
Some of the amazing ushers at the August Wilson Theatre! Love coming to work here!
Ushering costume, I mean, uniform. Ready to create some raves!
Sneaking in a <i>Pageant</i> flier. JK-ing Jordan Roth, I would never.
Selfie with the glorious matinee audience.
<i>Jersey Boys</i>' biggest fan! Jo-Ann is amazing and this marks her 518th time seeing the show!
Reviewing "Natural Born Females" during Act 1.
Look who's in the °ëµºÌåÓý! Miss Great Plains (Nick Cearley). Yea, I'm performing with a Legendary Artist tonight. Nick and Patti together at last.
10 minute nap break. Literally fell asleep and drooled all over my hand.
Stage door. Mauricio killed it as Frankie today… He is also on my "Hit List" (RIP Smash Season 2). #matchingheightglassesandnip
One of my dearest friends and writing partner Brittany Bradford (Plug- "Acting Up" web series www.sethatucker.com)! She just ushered <i>Bullets Over Broadway</i>. (Jujamcyn Pride).
Between show work out. Thumbs up.
I hate this.
Reward= Amish buffet.
She doesn't know how to take small bites. But, she does know how to product place. #julliardshmulliard
Hey Girl!
Walking down 45th St. the Broadway drag queens and Annaleigh give me inspiration. <i>Kinky Boots</i> ftw!
Here we are at the Davenport Theatre, 45th St and 8th ave! 7 blocks downtown and a little Off-Broadway from <i>Jersey Boys.</i>
Show #2. <i>Pageant: The Musical.</i> We are breaking ground here people!
The stage and some of our awesome team.
Backstage. Calm before the storm.
No joke, the dressing room is 2 flights up this fire escape. Off Broadway = Where life finds a way.
No matter what time I show up they are already here. Alex Ringler and Marty Thomas play to win!
Pre-makeup- take off shirt and put on wig cap. Also, Marty always looks at me like that.
Step 1- Cover your five O'clock shadow with blood so it is hidden under the lights.
Step 2- Base and highlight. Marty is our Diva (Monday nights at Industry 11:00pm)
The beautiful ladies of <i>Pageant</i> transforming before your eyes. These are the funniest men in NYC!
Step 3/4/5- Eyes, blush, lips.
Nic Cory, Miss Industrial Northeast and one of our lovely swings Fred Odgaard. Nic has come so far with his makeup, trust me.
This. Well, this is our makeshift curtain room above the fire escape where we tuck our balls into our body… too graphic?
This… umm this is the device I use to keep tucked balls from untucking. Glamorous Glamouresse.
Look at that little Skivvie! <i>Pageant</i> is the most he has ever been dressed in a show.
Etc etc etc, final steps and here she is, Miss West Coast - Karma Quinn!
Now, to get to the stage in one piece.
Miss Texas has to stretch. And look, our hilarious Emcee, John Bolton!!
Time for talent. Curtis Wiley don't need no pants. I'll go out and be an idiot in an interpretive dance to prepare the audience for some Miss Bible Belt-ing!
John Bolton. Am I creeped out or excited? Or both?
I mean, come one, get your tickets now! https://www.telecharge.com/Off-Broadway/Pageant-The-Musical/Overview
The moment we've been waiting for! The audience votes for the winner, different show every night. This is a tough time for Karma...
Here she is! Brought the house down then snatched that crown!
Miss Glamouresse 2013 and 2014…also, they are naked.
How quickly can you get out of drag? Nick holds the record every night, his two-show day is only half way thru. (The Skivvies at 54 Below)
This is what last place looks like.
We keep a tally of wins. Curtis is the queen. But, when you come see the show vote Miss West Coast, or else...
A pic with the champ.
I had friends in the audience!! Some of my favorite people.
Post show at Mother Burger! I'll regret this when I'm in my bikini tomorrow.
The BF got me a crown! Awww, he knows the way to my heart.
Watching my favorite web show "Acting Up" before bed… Hey, that guy looks familiar. Shameless plug #2 = www.sethatucker.com/acting-up
Night everybody, thanks for hanging out with little 'ol me! Doing it again tomorrow, see you at <i>Pageant: The Musical</i>!!!
