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!

Today's On The Road interview features Broadway veteran and total hunk, Matt Shingledecker! I first met Matt in 2015 backstage at Wicked on Broadway. He was my first Fiyero! Currently, Matt is playing the rebellious leader Enjolras in the national tour of Les Miserables. When the tour passed through Nashville, Tennessee, I was able to set up a photo shoot for him with my wonderful photographer friend Colby Buchanan. I hope you enjoy his interview!

Desi is currently starring as the lead character Jenna in the first national tour of the hit Broadway musical, Waitress. I was able to set up a photo shoot for her while the show was in Des Moines, Iowa, with the phenomenal local photographer, Sam Fathallah. I am obsessed with these pictures and her heartfelt interview. Hopefully, some of you will be able to see Desi as she travels across the country with Waitress, but if you can't make the show, you should definitely check out her solo album! (My favorite song from it is White Butterfly.) Anyways, I just know you all are going to love her as much as I do.

Today we're going on the road with the beautiful actor, Phoenix Best! Phoenix is currently starring as Eponine on the national tour of Les Miserables. While she was in Nashville I was able to set up a photo shoot for her with my world traveling friend Colby Buchanan. I have loved following her tour adventures and hope you enjoy this interview!

For the second installment of On The Road I'm happy to introduce you to my new friend, Talia Robinson. We virtually met recently through a mutual friend she attended Emerson College with. Talia is currently on the road with the national tour of Les Miserable. She is an ensemble member who also understudies two of the iconic lead roles: Fantine and Eponine. Recently she had to go on for both roles on the same day which is just incredible! So I hope you enjoy her interview and these absolutely stunning pictures taken in Nashville by the talented photographer Sav Walters.
