A Mean Girls vlog and a Waitress tour vlog in one week?!?! Ive been blessed😁

[@nachocheeselunchables]

desi must be protected at all costs she is so pure and sweet

[@ho3lland]

Desi deserves the world. Her performance as Jenna is breathtaking.

[@nathanstanley7932]

I LOVE DESI!!!! I got to sing onstage at Waitress when it came to Columbus and after I was done singing she came out and hugged me and told me I was amazing! Definitely in my top 10 moments of life

[@metropolan]

She's amazing! So kind at the stage-door. They all are, of course.

[@kaitlyntate4913]

OMG love this show! love Desi!! love vlogs!!! A friendly tip for Lenne, when traveling around if you can, find a local farmers market or find out where to get locally harvested honey because it'll contain the pollens and allergens that are locally floating around and help you fight it or keep allergies from hitting you so hard and you won't feel so sickly! Feel better! Super excited for more vlogs!!

[@jamiecastle440]

@broadwaycom THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING DESI TO TAKE US ALONG WITH HER AND THE TOURING CAST OF WAITRESS! I absolutely LOVE when you guys do the backstage blogs with the touring casts! It's SOOOO much fun to see the actual cast that perform in our cities and what they are doing on tour!

[@knitfulgrace]

YES I AM SO EXCITED!!! I got to see Desi and the cast of Waitress in Cincinnati and it was wonderful

[@sendwhitesupremaciststothe8618]

Desi is my favorite Jenna I'm so happy!!!

[@TheRainbowToyChannel]

send white supremacists to the moon. same!

[@taleoffable383]

Where they went to “the bar method” is super close to my school!!! I've seen so many shows in the Fair Park theatre! It was SO FUN to watch them explore my city!

[@morgancloutier3320]

She comes from my home town and high school. We are so proud of her back in Kansas! We love gushing over her success and it gives us inspiration that even us small town kids can make it big! 💛

[@aliciaf1214]

Thank you for giving the national tours vlogs. I love it and appreciate it. The Something Rotten tour vlog was so good.

[@courtneyjackson9841]

I have been waiting all day for this! I love broadway.com vlogs and this tour is coming to my town next month. So Excited!

[@yopyopo]

One intro/outdo perfect 👌 two so excited for this blog series love the cast!!

[@michaelgalvin26]

Yay I love Desi! So amazingly put together

[@cathyussery2493]

I saw waitress on tour last week in Wilmington North Carolina. I had no idea how funny it was. I knew all the music from the soundtrack but stayed away from KZbin videos so I can be surprised at the Musical. I was absolutely Blown Away by how good it was. I wish it were coming somewhere closer so that I could go see it again and again and again. I saw Mean Girls in Durham the following week. I want to see that one again and again and again! Then I got to see a local production of Dreamgirls. Three excellent musicals in one week and I don't have tickets for anything for a couple of months. The withdrawals have already started! I guess I'll have to start working on my costume for Hamilton that is coming to North Carolina late this year. I've already seen Hamilton twice and I'm hoping whatever costumes my girls and I purchase we can use at the movie premiere. Love love love musicals! I am going blind and losing my vision fast so I need to see as many musicals as I can in the next couple of years. #expensive

[@Isabella-gv1dp]

i can’t express how much i love this whole cast. not only their incredible performance (which i had the privilege of seeing this past november) but also just their personalities and how perfect they all are

[@ladybuglo233]

That's not Charity Angel Dawson, might want to fix that.

[@metropolan]

I wonder what happened.

[@EoghanAmI]

Desi literally says the poor girl's name as the banner pops up..... how could they get it wrong?

[@luigilove254]

Haha yeah.. the editor probably mistook her for Charity!
