6/8/2025: In preparation for the 78th Tony Awards watch party at home, I created a corner within my bookcase and my table to display all the merchandises I bought thus far. I did not buy them in one shot. I curated them per each precious show visits - 5 times. I don't even own a dog & bought a dog hoodie. I do not own a vinyl player yet, but I plan to buy one now that I got the Vinyl version of the cast recording. This is the most merchandises I ever purchased for any musicals followed by Once; Wicked; Sunset Boulevard & Sunset Blvd. @the_merch_dot, #merchdot, @maybehappyending, #maybehappyending, #fireflies

Repping @bordenmusical at the premiere of Ryan Murphyโ€™s MONSTER: The Lizzie Borden Story ๐Ÿช“ Itโ€™s wild to see just how many different ways one story can be told. MONSTER and BORDEN approach Lizzie, her family, and the events of 1892 from almost polar opposite perspectives, which made being there all the more fascinating. So grateful to have spent the night in the company of so many artists and people who, like us, remain endlessly fascinated by this story more than 130 years later. A very surreal night for this Borden nerd. ๐Ÿค A huge thank you to @alexajaephoto for capturing the night ๐Ÿ“ธ #bordenmusical #lizzieborden #monster #premiere
