Between shows, caffeine levels unstable, makeup slightly surviving, and somehow we finally got our director Dr. Janelle on camera 😂✨

The interview? Unexpectedly iconic.
The chaos? Fully under control.
The cast? Running on adrenaline and applause.

ONE LAST DAY to catch
Tomorrow at 3 PM at the The Eli & Edythe Broad Stage 🎭✨

Come to see us before the tenors fully lose consciousness and the sopranos ascend into another dimension 🎻😂😂
