When they keep calling places at the beginning and no one is actually in place it gives my little theatre soul anxiety😂

OMG IKR YOU TELL HIM BARRETT but no joke i love her and her character and her friendship with grey

[@snail_brrr]

Omg I love Barrett’s responses to everything in the little blue couch!!!

[@mollymagarian9759]

EXACTLY. I also couldn't help but notice and bow down to her feminist shirt

[@brianpelaccio4092]

'give up?' that's why i didn't see her in Heathers

[@purplegiraffe6767]

When she said having real talk every week, it feels like the vlogs will never end. That is exactly what I'm hoping for.

[@RedHairedRiot]

I appreciated Real Talk so much. I'm also a professional actor and sometimes the TUES-SUN schedule is absolutely soul crushing and destroying, especially when you fit it in with other work, matinees, or errands and the like during the day. At one point I was doing a 10 show week of a three hour play and we were all breaking down mentally and physically. These broadway videos are amazing but sometimes they feel super squeaky shiny and as though they aren't realistic to the hardships that come with Broadway/professional theatre. I so appreciated you being honest and discussing the rigor and the self care that's needed as well. Bless you for that. Like, acting professionally in shows is a marathon and its very hard to even get a minute of alone time. Therapy is common in what we do. Thank you for raising mental and physical health awareness!!!

[@laurenring9721]

RedHairedRiot can I ask which show? That’s so cool!!!

[@julesk2629]

My favorite thing about these behind the scenes videos of broadway shows is realizing that all the cool broadway stars are just grown up successful dorky theatre kids

[@parkergreaves9975]

I'm rewatching all these in quarantine and crying because none of these people are in it

[@leoniep1502]

I love these vlogs and I wish they would never end, also I‘m soo excited for the cast recording!!

[@AStageForTheKingdom]

Thank you so much for listening to the fans!! This episode made it abundantly clear that somebody involved with this is actually reading the comments and getting the top suggestions implemented into the vlog. That makes me incredibly happy. This vlog and this cast are awesome. I always love Louderman Lingo, and the new Real Talk segment is also fantastic but in a totally different way, which is cool. I'm a theatre performer and director/teacher (and work in almost every field in theatre), and I can attest that Erika's advice this week is spot-on. Great advice both for theatre and for life in general.

[@clairelundin11]

THANK YOU for doing Real Talk!! I just finished my first year of university in a musical theatre program and dealing with injuries and illnesses was really scary. I really appreciate you passing on your tips and ways to keep healthy while in a show! Love these vlogs and this beautiful cast ❤️

[@goodjobeli]

EXTEND! THE! VLOG!

[@solcarlosofficial]

So cool to see everyone ready before coming off stage. Idk how you guys can snack and like talk backstage I would be so worried to miss a que.

Does therapy count as listening to Broadway songs for 3 hours straight 😂

[@crazywomandriver64]

If Erika Henningsen stretches, reads non-fiction, and drinks apple cider vinegar--then SO WILL I.

[@beatrevorharris]

Can I just say that I love the real talk. Like that is what I want to hear. As an aspiring actress, and for other broadway bound people I think that we all need to hear the real side of it all

8:09 Barrett: *What did you do to my boy?! My boy!*

[@jennabreedt5197]

My favourite lyric from 'Stupid with Love' is "Does this guy work out he must" because it fits with the math theme. He is seen as like a math problem that can be solved or not. Like does he work out? ALSO CAST ALBUM COMES OUT HERE IN 3 HOURS WHAAAAAAAA AND PLEASE EXTEND THESE VLOGS!!!!!!!

[@lilahgene6008]

When I saw Adam I nearly screamed.......... I saw him in ABT recently and I died. I can literally talk about him forever 😂 Adam is THE Kaplan. Also I love this episode!!!! Please continue this vlog! I love love love LOVE it! Also I’m looking forward to the rapping segment with Cheech.
