One thing we love the most about Broadway here at #TeamTeale is its power to unify.  Everyone working on the Great White Way is creating a space where people from all walks of life can come together under one roof to jointly experience the power of live theater.  In a time when our country is inundated with divisive rhetoric, we appreciate how the cast and crew of the musical Hamilton housed at the Richard Rogers Theatre remind us daily of what unites our great country.

I am absolutely thrilled for you all to read this blog post so I can introduce you to my beautiful friend, Cate! Cate has been the Glinda Dresser at Wicked on Broadway for the past four years. I first met her in January 2015 during my first week working as a swing dresser at Wicked. I introduced myself to her at the company holiday party and remember being so nervous! Since then we've bonded through some crazy times (in and out of the theatre) and become so close. She has been an incredibly loyal and supportive friend to me. Cate is hilarious, generous, thoughtful and extremely intelligent. She always shows up for me when I need her, loves dressing up for theme parties of any kind AND she has the coolest tattoo of a purple spool of thread on her arm. So she's literally the best babe squad member a girl could ask for.

The 71st Annual Tony Awards were on June 11, and they are always such an exciting day to be working on Broadway. As I was flipping through the Tonys Playbill that night, naturally, I started to wonder about the show's history and decided to conduct a little research. This blog is turning me into a mega nerd, and I don't hate it. I hope you enjoy these theater history posts as much as I do! 

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!

The first time I ever visited the Ambassador Theatre I was dropping off my resume for the Wardrobe Supervisor of Chicago. I wandered back and forth in front of the theatre for a while (trying to look cool even though I was nervous and a little lost) before finally finding the stage door. I rang the buzzer next to the big gate and a heavy metal door swung open. Then I had to walk down a super creepy alleyway until finally reaching the stage door. To me, Broadway theaters all feel like walking into weird magical old haunted houses. I just can’t get enough! I never realized what a history nerd I was until I started this blog. So, I hope you enjoy this post about one of the most unique theaters in the world, and a New York City historic landmark, the Ambassador Theatre.
