10 days in Connecticut with these beautiful people and this beautiful show…I am filled to the brim with gratitude 💗 Being a part of @shyama.music.theater’s ✨STUNNING✨ new musical “The Sound of an Anklet” was such an honor and a gift. To all the folks at @theatreincolor - you created an environment where I felt like the best and twinkliest version of my self. So glad we are all now real friends and not just camp friends :) CHEERS!

Two weeks ago we closed @springawakening.nyc at A.R.T./New York Theatres and I’m still trying to process all of my emotions and gratitude. This show marks my third time being in Spring Awakening. Each time it comes into my life, it serves a different purpose, and teaches me something about the world/myself I need at that moment. This time around, it introduced me to the greatest humans and reminded me of how lucky I am for the people in my life. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the cast and production team for inspiring me everyday with your talent, dedication, and kindness. Meeting you all was the highlight of my summer. Thank you to my family and friends who are now hopping on flights to see me perform, instead of driving down the street (or to Madison @nitabuffomante @tony.buffomante) And thank you to my long distance bestfriends who sent me so much love throughout this process because they knew how much this meant to me 🧡

THIS SHOW MEANS SO MUCH TO ME! Telling this story with South Asian artists was the greatest gift I could ever ask for. I miss it and I love theatre and I love everyone involved and I’ll remember this experience forever #SASAFOREVER #swingo #purplesummer

A typical 2 show day for me featuring pictures from my time at South Asian Spring Awakening #southasianspringawakening #springawakening #sasa
Edit: For Some Reason the music didn’t post with this, but I guess some of you heard some Orpheus lol

First Breakfast- Which is usually feautres cup of coffee made at home! Sometimes Waffles, Sometimes Toast!🧇🧇

Then Basketball-Nothing gets the voice going for an afternoon show like exercise and to do that i like to play sports rather than go to the gym 🏀⛹🏽

I shower and get ready to go, but not before singing some Hadestown Epics to work out my passaggios and get into that floaty head voice area. 🌹🎸

Video but no audio from my SASA takeover

Get on the subway to head to the theatre!🚊

Not pictured is my warm-up while I am getting in Mic and Costume. Shoutout to @mollyelysemcgill for getting me right every performance 🎤

Finish show one and quickly get out of costume to go to my meal spot of choice. Nearby A.R.T. it was Jerkhouse at 57th St and 10Av! 🇯🇲🍗

Shenanigans before night show. 😅

All white before the last number of the show!⚪️⚪️

Holi Colors Post Show!🟣🟠🟡🔴🟢

And Thats a wrap! thank you for swiping through!
