Top of the Morning! During the week, I am usually awoken by my private string quartet softly playing a Bach Suite, and of course my footmen attend me. But I gave them the day off today and decided to take the train to the gym. First a coffee stop!
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Mmmmmmm, coffee and music. And a weird close up of my nose.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Well, good morning NYC.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
For the tourists and my fans outside of NYC ( hi and I love you), this is Chelsea Market. En route to the gym, I鈥檒l take you to a few of my favorite spots inside.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
When I said I was going to the gym, I meant going to wine. It鈥檚 9 AM and I want wine. What鈥檚 wrong with me?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Coolest wishing well you鈥檒l ever see is right in the middle of Chelsea Market. I recommend throwing as many pennies in here as humanly possible.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Buon Italia is an all-Italian, straight from Italy market. Some of the best olive oil I get from here. And all the ladies treat me like I鈥檓 their son. Who doesn鈥檛 eat enough Lasagna. They say, 鈥淟ook-a how e-skinny you are-ah!鈥�
Wayne Alan Wilcox
See, I wasn鈥檛 lying about the time. Oy. It鈥檚 the early worm that gets to the bush with two birds in it. Or something like that.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Cool light floors and a face. Look at how stooopid I am.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Look at that. That鈥檚 there! That thing I鈥檓 looking at is right there. What it is?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Leftover Halloween craftsmanship.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Dripping piano, anyone?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
We made it to the gym. Let鈥檚 do it. It鈥檚 9:15. You鈥檙e welcome, America.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Some of the machines at the gym look like torture devices. Avoid them.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Honey badger don鈥檛 care, he wears mismatched socks to abs class.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
This is Kristi Molinaro, fitness godess and creator of 30/60/90, which is a gym class that will kick yo butt. You鈥檙e gonna sweat, trust.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
I鈥檓 meeting some friends for brunch at COOKSHOP, a spot in Chelsea I used to work in. I鈥檝e poured more glasses of wine and made more drinks here than anyone. Ever.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Brunch is crazy out of focus. But apparently really happy. PS, I鈥檓 drinking water. I have two shows today. I鈥檓 jealous of the bloody mary, tho.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Brunch is gooood here.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
It鈥檚 1pm now, and I鈥檓 almost to work. I love my job.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Just press the button and you鈥檙e in.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Silence is golden. Who wrote that? I鈥檒l give you twenty pesos if you said The Four Seasons.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
When your last name starts with a W, you鈥檙e always on the bottom of the call sheet. I was always called last in school.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Extreme close up of our Stage Manager, Kim Vernace.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
We鈥檙e raising money for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS this week. All these signed playbills are gonna go in a handy plastic sleeve and go for 20 bucks a pop. Just doing our part for charity folks.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Let鈥檚 see how many people I can kiss backstage before it appears awkward. So far, 1. Rico, one of our stage managers.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Home, sweet Home. My dressing room.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
A Charlie pillow I got from my dear friends Barry and Buzz for opening night. I sit on his face. Is that weird?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Some of my research for Sydney. And Charlie, and the world of our little 鈥渟hew鈥�
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Broadway musical survival kit.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
I think I have too much time on my hands.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Maureen and Dora, two of our esteemed dressers. They鈥檙e in love with me.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
So is Emily Tyra.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Shhh. This is my secret warm-up place in the house. Nobody knows it鈥檚 me warming up in here. Even though they can all hear me and totally know it鈥檚 me in here.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
It鈥檚 almost time to let the people into the theater. Soon gonna be a full house.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
And here鈥檚 a light fixture. It鈥檚 in the theater, so I think it鈥檚 relavent. Right?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Full on smooching Sandy, Rob鈥檚 esteemed dresser. She鈥檚 a great kisser.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Goofing off with Ethan and Zack and Zack鈥檚 brother, Noah.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Cinematic grey scale movie make-up time. Step 1
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Step 2. PS: what is that expression? Like, what鈥檚 going on with my lips in this one?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Step 3. And smile.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Step 4. The lips. And, again Wayne, what鈥檚 up with that face?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Almost there. Almost time to go say hi to the band.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
I call this: Priorities.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Jenn Colella and I have a dinner date after the matinee.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Again: Priorities.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Jim, my esteemed dresser, won鈥檛 let me kiss him. But he will put my mic tape on my back.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
I鈥檓 trying to bring back the saucer.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
It鈥檚 THE BAND!! What up, pups!
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Stephanie, in our esteemed sound dept. goes full tongue on me.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Ian Liberto and Sarah O鈥橤leby really enjoy each other鈥檚 company, while Rico decides if he should call Human Resources. Again.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Right before places. A brothers' moment before the controlled chaos ensues.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
This is how many Ricola lozenges I went through at the matinee. Just me.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
It鈥檚 Erin Mackey with Steven, of our esteemed hair/make up dept.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
This is our Saturday Intermission Picture. Follow us @ChaplinBway, and look for #SIP to see them all.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
NYU students came to the matinee. And they know that every good audience member brings flowers. Or, they know that I just like presents.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Yay, fans. I wanna take a picture of YOU GUYS!!
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Jenn and I are going to skip to dinner now. See you there.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
My favorite restaurant in midtown. It鈥檚 becoming my CHEERS, where everybody knows my name.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
I got Jenn to let me kiss her. Well, her hair. It鈥檚 tasty.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Back at the theater after dinner, I take a quick nap, with Charlie Chaplin. Odd?
Wayne Alan Wilcox
I get one from Ian.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
More stage managers. They鈥檙e multiplying.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Hayley Podschun!
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Walking to places for the second 鈥渟hew鈥�
Wayne Alan Wilcox
In the wings, right before the downbeat to start the shindig.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
I got Erin Mackey to kiss me!!
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Double tongue from Jenn Colella and Hayley Podschun!
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Michael Mendez, Tim Hughes and Hayley
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Okay, so I can鈥檛 tell you why Steph is smiling. All I can say it鈥檚 part of mine and Jenn Colella鈥檚 track. We have to do it.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
A tiny break before I go back on for the end of the second show.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
Total for the day. Yikes. Just me.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
And now. It comes off鈥�.
Wayne Alan Wilcox
one layer at a time鈥�
Wayne Alan Wilcox
And I鈥檓 back!! That鈥檚 my 2-show day! I鈥檓 going to a birthday party tonight, and then home to bed cause I鈥檒l come back to tomorrow for the last show of the week. Peace out, everybody.
