@somelikeithotmusical | Happy Trails! On March 29th, 2026, I had my Happy Trails from Some Like it Hot with @mark_binns . When I first joined the tour I didn’t know the words to the song at all, and by the end I was singing along as it brought me comfort saying goodbye for now to the friends I had made. I was with this tour from the very beginning with rehearsals starting at New42 in August 2024. From there I would go on to travel to 52 cities around the country (including 1 in Canada), call 143 shows and do 551 total performances. I debuted my call for the show in San Francisco at the Orpheum. Played the Hippodrome in my home city of Baltimore, the first place I ever saw a broadway tour. Painted my first wall tag in DC at the National Theatre. Being on tour was an experience that I wanted to have so much for my career. I used to joke with @thedomingo about doing this show and then months later it actually became a reality. I learned so much about not only being a stage manager, but a lot about myself. It really opened up my perspective of life. I explored my record collecting habit to the fullest by visiting over 80 record stores around the country. @jodybogner got me to into film photography and I’ve been taking photos on film ever since with multiple cameras. I went to tons of museums, botanical gardens, cool bars, events, amusement parks and more. Traveling this much also boosted my confidence (and tolerance) to solo travel internationally for two large trips to South Korea and Italy. But most of all, I met some incredible people that I’m so honored to know and have worked with. They were there with me every step of the way as I was learning how to tour for the first time. It was great getting to celebrate with the them as we hit tour milestones together. Thanks to all my friends and family who came to see the show. It was great getting to see folks who helped get me to this position after shows in multiple cities. Doing this show felt like a dream. So grateful to now officially be a touring stage manager. Until next time 👋🏾

Last week I turned 40 and also conducted my final show with @somelikeithotmusical … 20 months of joy, struggle, growth, laughter, and tears. But I got a brand new family that will stay with me for the rest of my life. This company has inspired me, challenged me, and BLESSED me. I spent over 500 shows (1,300+ hours, or 78,000+ minutes) looking up at the stage from the orchestra pit into the eyes of some of the most talented humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of conducting. I don’t know what to say except thank you. My heart is overflowing with memories and gratitude. But most of all…thank you @marc_shaiman … your score has made me better in every way. I don’t think I’ll ever receive a gift quite as special as the gift of being able to look after your baby. What a ride! Onward we go…

We are halfway through our first week of performances here in LA at @somelikeithotmusical ! The first show I ever worked on in musical theatre was HAIRSPRAY (written by Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman) at @arkansasrep nearly 15 years ago when I was 25. I didn’t realize then that Broadway was about to completely take over my world. But as I stood on the red carpet at the @hollywoodpantagestheatre Wednesday night with the one and only @marc_shaiman it hit me like a ton of bricks. The fact that I get to conduct the Hollywood premiere of a Shaiman/Wittman show is something I will never take for granted. Oh… AND I get to do it with some of the most killer musicians LA has to offer. If some like it hot, I must like it scorching! All I can say is I’m grateful. 🔥♥️
