That was such an awesome opening! That should be the exact staging for her one woman show! Or when she hosts the Tonys!!!

[@DeadlyNightshade]

Why did Matilda get 16 episodes when wicked and phantom only got 8 :(

[@tigerlily0190]

Because Sierra was only at Phantom for 8 weeks. It was a limited engagement. She was only there for the 25th Broadway anniversary. I'm sure you already know but broadway.com just announced she's doing another vlog with her new show :)

[@DeadlyNightshade]

Yes, but could they not make vlogs with the christine who cane after sierra

[@DeadlyNightshade]

Came*

[@tigerlily0190]

Maybe she didn't want to. Maybe the POTO production people doesn't allow them to film too much. Who knows.

[@francescagrace]

Sierras last run in Phantom longer than 8 weeks, actually. From May 12 (?) to September 6. 8 weeks is the typical time for a Broadway.com vlog, but I think Lesli wanted to keep doing it longer. Although I do wish Daaé Days was much much longer.

[@deannakrysiak9582]

Did you know that I was 4 years old when I did my first musical

[@FinnDaDooda]

16:11

[@mirandaneusner9296]

I want to send you stuff!!! Put your PO box in the description so I can send you cards and stuff!!!!

[@Jswift13]

Miranda Neusner Too late now but to do it you would put Lesli Margherita New York Shubert theatre (enter postcode)

[@madisondanielson3156]

Nothing like a dance party with a gay guy/ non-other then Christopher Sieber. lol

[@deannakrysiak9582]

I always wonder why she blogs during a show. Since she is blogging, she never has to go on stage. But isn't she mrs. wormwood

[@katesmith6725]

Deanna Krysiak she only records during scenes she isn’t in.

[@anonymousdog22]

who farted on stage?
