Happy Opening to my first OBC, @beachesthemusical. This show and the people who are in it/created it have so much heart onstage and off, a much needed reprieve in this chaotic, overstimulated art form. Sometimes a good story and a few laughs and tears, and a touch of humanity can be enough. I love our little gem. I’ll let you all know if I get dates. taken in Majestic Theatre by @pauladamschaefer

Elena & Paul,
10.25.25

Some stories take time to find their true meaning.

Elena & Paul’s film closed my 2025 season in New York—and what started as a wedding video became something much deeper. Not a trending piece, not made for the algorithm… just life, emotion, and memory living together.

Their trust, patience, and energy made this possible. And watching them relive it is the greatest reward after months of building this story.

Thank you @bouncebyelena & @pauladamschaefer for letting me create with meaning.

This was fun to revisit! Doing a little Jasper from Drood is always a little terrifying, it’s such a big sing, but I just adore the score of @rupertholmesmusic. Thanks for letting me wail a little. The brilliant @broadwaymhl (Michael Lavine) accompanying.

Throw back with three friends for life and a very rare moment indeed! Even though we worked there for 15 yrs the combo only happened twice. (As far as I remember) by @pauladamschaefer

Last show for me at the @masqueradenyc (and for sweet @realhughpanaro in the pic). I have so many things I want to say I can’t say anything. This show is a gorgeous music box, a new way to do theatre, and yall should run to see it. Saying goodbye to these two (and the rest of the cast) is crushing my soul, but I’m grateful for the 8 months we had to play. This whole cast and creatives and butlers and crew are just incredible, and contribute to such a good playful vibe. I will miss this. (Oh and I might be back in May 😉) The performers who are replacing us are incredible too. Don’t hesitate to see them. RIP pulse 3. taken in Masquerade New York by @pauladamschaefer

Sad to say goodbye to these dear friends from @masqueradenyc. They are consummate professionals, insanely talented performers, and just a blast to tell the story with. I will miss you both so much.
