Puppy Love

This past Saturday my roommates, a few friends, and I went to Broadway Barks!













Broadway Barks is an event held in Shubert Alley every year to benefit local shelters and help raise awareness for pet adoption! It was founded by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore and has been going on for 17 years!

What a blast we had! We pet all kinds of dogs and ran into so many people we knew. It was so hard not to take them home!















Then, the main event! Bernadette Peters and the new Equity president, Kate Shindle, opened the 17th Annual Broadway Barks! A slew of Broadway performers came and introduced dogs. Andrew Rannells also stopped by and helped find some pups their new homes!

We had so much fun! And, bonus shot! Here's me with a Great Dane! He was bigger than I am! I only wish this lovebug could fit in my apartment!

Have a great week!

Some Early Christmas Spirit

Tonight I had an absolutely classic New York experience.

I went with my roommates, Kevin and Connor, to see the window unveiling at Bergdorf Goodman.

The event was magical. Children sang Christmas carols, Broadway's Nikki M. James performed, White Christmas was honored, and the snowflake was lit on 57 and 5th.

Then, the magic moment! A year's worth of planning goes into this one moment, and it was well worth all the work! Check out these windows!



It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! (and Thanksgiving hasn't even come!)

Surprises Around Every Corner part 1

It doesn’t matter how many times you get the call or the email, getting a job always feels like someone planned an extravagant surprise birthday party just for you.

Your phone is ringing, it’s a number you don’t recognize, do I pick up? Is it that weird product survey company again? I have to get on that updated do not call list!

Then you think, Oh My God, what if it’s Broadway? What if Broadway is calling? Not that I have auditioned for a Broadway show recently, or that this is a New York area code, but, what if?

Finally, and probably with a total of two seconds to voicemail, you clear your throat and answer, “Hello?”

Then, they offer you a job. They offer you a job and as they are giving you necessary details like pay and time, all you can think is, “I have to call my parents! I wonder if I know anyone else that got this offer? I have to text my best friend! How much time do I have to pack?”

You end the phone call, do all of the above, and get ready for the next big adventure.

Yes, I’m off again. I am headed to Florida to begin rehearsals as a swing for two Norwegian Cruise Line ships!

All of those 4am mornings paid off, what an amazing feeling.

Best Friend Adventures

My best friend Kevin and I love to love this city. On any given weekend, you can find us grabbing coffee, shopping in bookstores, seeing a Broadway show, eating in diners, or walking through Central Park.

We both look up at this skyline and know we are home.

I think one of the greatest things about Manhattan is having Kevin around. We have been apart since graduation (he was on a cruise ship!) and we never really know when one of us will book another job and be off again. Here are some of our favorite adventures from this winter so far!
