Being a bridesmaid is hard. There. I said it. Of course it’s a total honor and I have always been thrilled to stand up next to my girl friends on their special days! But….being a bridesmaid can be hard. So my little babes, if this is your first time venturing into bridesmaid land or if you’re a veteran who want to step up your game then this blog post is for you!

This blog post is extremely belated, but I wanted to write about it because how impactful this event was. This month, three Broadway touring companies happened to be in Chicago at the same time, which never happens! (Side note: Hamilton permanently lives there at the moment.) So, some genius person had the idea to rally the three companies together and put on a benefit show to raise money for our favorite non-profit, Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS. I am so proud of those touring companies and hope you enjoy the pictures from the show, taken by my incredible Chicago photographer Monica Winters!

So I did a little reflecting today, and I'm sure from the outside all of my crazy pictures on Instagram and this blog must make it look like my life is insane. I promise I am not always on a yacht or hanging out in public places with inflatable pool toys – just most of the time. In case you aren’t sick of my shenanigans yet, I thought I would share some more pictures from one of our favorite nights last week.

I have had a lot of amazing birthday celebrations, but this year has already earned the number one spot… and it's not even over yet! On Thursday night, I had my birthday party at the PHD Terrace at the Dream Midtown. It was absolutely wonderful dancing all night on a Manhattan rooftop with all of my favorite people!

So I’ve worked on Broadway for two and a half years now and never in my wildest nightmares did I ever think I would perform on a Broadway stage one day. And then it happened.
