It’s a two-show day at the Helen Hayes Theatre and I’ve got a double dose of <i>Dames At Sea</i> ahead of me! So, it’s time to wake up and get to the gym!

Ok, just a few more minutes of rest. It’s going to be a big day.

Listen, I’m tired. Don’t judge. It’s been a long month.

Ok, fine! I’ll get up. But, it’s not because you’re here. It’s my choice.

It’s time for a work out at Blink Fitness in the Heights!!!! (Not Washington Heights, the other president. Sorry, not Hamilton either, I could see how you could get confused. I meant Jackson. Jackson Heights. Was that clear? ...I’m not hip.)

Great work out! Do I look buff? I feel it. (You can see the shadows are different so I actually did go to the gym. I swear. Look at the shadows.)

Time for Breakfast. Yes, that’s right. A Soylent / Protein Smoothie. Don’t know what Soylent is? Look it up.

Hey, it’s my fiancé, Aleka Emerson going to Saturday morning ballet with the one and only Marilyn D’Honau. Marilyn ate a donut. Once.

Time to get on the train to go to work!

I work in Times Square!!!!!

There she is! The Helen Hayes! It never gets old.

It’s our door man Kelly Washington! He takes care of us and keeps the crazies out! (Can’t believe he let me in!)

It’s our stage management room! Ira Mont and Jennifer Rogers and Kevin Worley are our fearless management heroes! Ian Knauer is taking care of our BC/EFA tally!

It’s our Costume and Hair/ Makeup Department! Karli Brae, Zac West, Katie Beatty, and Katrina Newman! They keep us so fresh and so clean, clean! (again, not hip.)

It’s time to warm up. Eloise Kropp likes to practice her smile when she’s stretching. I like to practice my smolder.
