On the day I went a bit off script. But this is @karalindsay1 to me:

I’d like to talk about my awesome friend, Kara if I may. Kara was diagnosed with Stage 2 Breast Cancer late September of 2024. She began her chemo October of 2024, had a Double mastectomy with reconstruction and 16 lymph nodes removed March of 2025
She had radiation in May of 2025. The path forward with her doctors included hormone blocking therapy and immunotherapy started in July of 2025 and will be her continued treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering for the next several years. But wait - there’s more! She also got her fallopian tubes removed in January of 2026 because she is high risk for ovarian cancer as well. This surgery greatly reduces Kara’s risk.

Meanwhile, she found time to Stand By for Sutton Foster in Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway. Create the role of Michele in Off Broadway’s Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion AND do several concerts all over the world for Disney Theatricals. Oh and did I mention she is also a Mom to an adorable 6 year old named Emerson with husband, Kevin Massey.

Kara and I met while doing Wicked together at the Gershwin and became instant friends. I had been a fan for a long time after seeing her in Newsies on Broadway and was so excited to get the opportunity to work with her. Wicked also sent us overseas together to Hannover Germany to represent the United States at the Hannover Messe right when Matt and I had started our relationship and the three of us have been friends ever since.

I have always been proud to know you and proud to call you a friend. Your ability to overcome it all with humor and openness is something to behold and it inspires me every day to live life to the fullest and be grateful for every moment.

So. Last year you presented fellow thriver and Broadway star, Krysta Rodriguez with our first ever award. And this year I have the incredible honor of presenting you with our 2nd ever Fighting Flamingo Award for Dignity and Courage. I love you and thank you for being you and showing us the true meaning of what it means to be human. by @cteendryer

I feel like I couldn’t possibly pick 20 photos to commemorate this last trip. From concerts at an estate to casual bar hangs with friends to West End masterpieces to Tarot readings and me wearing a sensible outfit for once. London is just the best and I already miss every single person. Most likely another post to come. For now: London Town - you have my ♥️ 🇬🇧 #teamjanice #bcrf #travel #littleblackdress #friendshipgoals @mattdeangelis22 @thejanicejam by @cteendryer

Her husband found a lump in her breast. “It’s nothing,” insisted Elissa Kalver. “I don’t have cancer.”

Except... she did. Stage 4, HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. Translation: it had already spread to other organs. The diagnosis? Terminal.

The former college field hockey player, entrepreneur, cancer survivor, and Founder/CEO of WeGotThis.Org opens up to Bonnie this week about the moment that changed everything, how she’s thriving with a terminal diagnosis, and the lifesaving role your partner can play in detecting changes in your body.

🎙️ Episode 109 of The Athlete Effect™ podcast featuring Elissa Kalver is streaming now on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts. All 🔗 in bio. by @cteendryer

Some lovely days in Greece. Back to Turkey in a few. A few shows. Can’t believe another adventure is ALMOST coming to an end. We’ve had a blast. Body doesn’t know what time it is. But I think in this part of the world, time doesn’t really exist. What an incredible journey so far to all new places I cannot WAIT to come back to. #travel #greece #turkey #funinthesun #summertime by @cteendryer

She’s long. But we’ve been to so many incredible places on this adventure (and more to come) that I couldn’t wait to put out a reel of our lives lately. Love you @mattdeangelis22 ♥️ #travel #workingvacation #international #internationaltravel #mediterranean by @cteendryer

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. It’s been two years and some change and I still think about you every single day. I actually talked about you in the show I am performing right now traveling the world and what a musical inspiration you have been to me. I really wish I could send you photos of all the places I’ve been since you passed. We shared a love and respect for traveling to new cultures. And I’ve been so SOOOO many places since then. Even your favorite, Barcelona. I carry your memory (and ashes wherever I go) so hopefully you can see it or feel it in some way. I think you’d be proud of me. Matt promised to take me on adventures in his vows. And I’m glad at the time you were well enough to hear it. He has kept his promise. I know you loved him too. I had a crazy experience the other day that for the first time since your last day, I felt you with me and it was happy and sad. Grateful to have been there for you until the end. Grateful for the gifts you’ve given me. The advice. The laughs. The best pancakes and the best burgers on the grill. The t shirts you made for my shows. I could go on. I usually am quite sad on this day, but the fact I’m traveling and singing about you this year feels really good. I miss you. I love you. Thank you.
