And with just a few moments to spare, my lovely lass Tessa Klein of War Horse fame runs to give me a hug. This marks our second appearance together in Two-Show Day features. Keep 鈥榚m coming!
Join Sarrah Strimel, Lara and I at the Sephora Nail Bar to mend that shabby manicure! We鈥檙e committed to trying all the neutral color polishes by the end of the year.
Kirsten Scott and Robin Campbell: Will it be Sarah McLachlan or Cyndi Lauper?
Our dear friend Erin Wegner Brooks from the Young Frankenstein tour joins us for the karaoke fun. If you can鈥檛 tell, she鈥檚 about to have a little fishy of her own... Baby Clara!
Find yourself with an hour to spare, dying to work on your impersonation of Madonna? Head to Duet Karaoke for a fun-filled $4 hour to practice your fierce vocals!
One of the circus characters cut during our previews: the two-headed-showgirl.
Just a bit of gardening at intermission....
Still working backstage on my crocheted checkerboard blanket from War Horse鈥� no one can say I'm not thorough.
Leah Hofmann: My junior year at Lafayette High School in Wildwood, MO, I played Brooke Ashton in Noises Off. I recall that my high school wouldn't let me run around in my unmentionables, so this pink satin robe just had to do...
I look back down 65th street, once again thankful for the wonderful opportunity to share this beautiful story called War Horse.
Well, this is my bus stop to head home. The M66 Crosstown Bus to the East side.
Before heading home, company members often make a pitstop next-door at Indie Cafe. Dresser Rosie Wells and I giggle over a glass of wine. We'll probably here tomorrow night too.
While cooling down, Andrew visits my dressing room, bringing his post-show meal of chicken cacciatore. I think he's shocked I'm still taking pictures.
We may be sweaty, tired, and hungry, but I'm thankful to have shared another successful show with my team. It's honor and thrill to be included with such an inspiring production.
With only a few more scenes to go, Richard Crawford and I share jokes while resting in the stairwell. His jokes are usually better than mine. If you have any good ones, please send them my way.
Harlan, our handy horse swing, keeps everyone informed of the current baseball stats. That is officially included in his duties as a swing.
Its intermission, and I take another trip down to the Stables. Isaac, Tom and I concoct protein smoothies using whatever fruits we have at the theater that day. Now, I'm officially replenished for Act 2.
It's a water break in the lobby's smoke ring. We just conquered the show's first long sequence in the horse. One down, 48 more to go (not really鈥�. but kinda:)
And I'm ready for the Transformation into Big Joey (aka my absolute favorite part of the show).
The second show is underway, and it's time to turn into One Third of a Horse!
This may look like a scene from Fuerza Bruta, but it's in fact my favorite pre-show ritual. At five minutes before places, my team congregates on stage right to spend a couple minutes finding our connection through breath and horse vocalizations.
Whoa!! It's our creative team: Ben and our resident puppetry director Matt Acheson. Their advice for tonight, "May the Horse Be with You."
Do I really get paid to play with these cool guys and this magnificent horse?
Jack and Joey. This could be a pilot for NBC next season.
Baby Joey and his puppeteers Hunter Canning, David Pegram and Hannah Sloat, get reacquainted prior to this evening's performance. Unique for Baby Joey, these talented puppeteers actually switch positions every show.
Joey once again prepares to take on Topthorn in a horse duel. (But they still love each other.)
Stage manager Brian Bogin has a plow, and he isn't afraid to use it.
Jude will play the infamous goose tonight. Goose should really be arrested for stealing so many scenes.
It's now Enrico and Alex's turn to hold the poles. They're also practicing to be Abercrombie models.
Ben Klein, our resident director, gives notes to the company, including Bruce the puppet. Ben, I'm pretty sure Bruce isn't even in the show.
"And that makes THREE pushups, Richard! A new personal best," encourages Nat McIntyre. (I do have to make note of Richard's impeccable form).
The team that horses together, rolls together.
It's fight call again for this evening's show, and my team's family of rollers keeps growing.
Surprise! Tessa and Kat-- you gals will be going on for your understudy roles in the tonight's show! Just another spontaneous day here at War Horse.
Before I have to be upstairs at fight call, I receive my brief piano lesson from Mr. Spann. I admit sometimes I just come down here to hear him play.
Downstairs in the rehearsal rooms, Madeleine, her family and Brian Huynh show their competitive spirits as they play Ballee, our official cast game.
My momma always taught me, never wake a sleeping horse hind. (I think that's how the saying goes鈥�)
No, this isn't the line for Book of Mormon standing-room-only tickets, it's to sign up for next week's coveted massage and acupuncture slots.
And here is the man keeping us all safe at night: Sir Officer Charles. In fact, I think he lives in Joey's Stables, located in the lobby of the theater.
And this is the view from the brand new LTC observation deck. Too bad I don't have a quarter right now.
Hello from LCT's new Claire Tow Theater!
Joel Ganz wants me to make sure you all know that he didn't actually go to the Juilliard School. He just happens to be sitting pretty on the Lincoln Center lawn in front of their sign.
On our way back to the theater, we run into Ben Graney in the lobby. Like a good understudy, he's reviewing his lines for the role of Captain Nicholls, which he will perform tomorrow.
It's New Jersey! I love that our theater is so close to wonderful NYC outdoor landmarks, such as the Hudson River.
And the parrot highly recommends the french fries.
Enjoying food at Pier i Cafe. I highly recommend the blueberry lemonade.
Isaac and I decide to take a break from the indoors and venture out to the pier and basketball courts at Riverside Park South. Nothing like shooting a few hoops before a horse show.
Matinee is complete! First, I visit the physical therapy room with Michael from PhysioArts. The band of massage therapists and Physical therapists are definitely included in the War Horse family.
Tom and I comfort a fellow soldier prior to the final scene. Everything is going to be alright, mate. War is almost over and then we can relax between shows.
Someone told Jonathan Christopher MacMillan he was playing the role of James Dean. He's actually a background soldier. He'll figure it out eventually.
Tony Cochrane thoughtfully prepares for his role as Manfred. Looking good, my man鈥red.
Someone just handed me this gun, and I'm not sure what to do with it. Oh well.
Gotta put down the crafts and go back to war. On the way, I meet up with Jack, who is proudly displaying Albert's drawing of Joey. This prop can be yours too with a cute donation to Broadway Cares Equity Fights Aids!
Today on Crow Craft Corner Show: Shadow Puppets.
And it's my favorite time of the week鈥� The Crow Craft Corner Show! During every Crow track, myself and my fellow horse team members, Tom Lee and Isaac, unite for some clever crafting. Our first online episode is coming soon to a YouTube channel near you!
While I'm down here, Adam, my dresser, applies my dirty putties, which are all the rage in World War I.
During Act 2 for Crow track, I make a trip downstairs to the "Stables," where I hang out with the boy puppeteers and creatures of the sort.
This portion of Backstage at War Horse is brought to you by鈥� MUD! Inspiration for my mud today comes from my mother's sponge-painting in our St. Louis home.
Elliot Villar gets creative with his scars for his role as Klausen.
Miss Madeleine is ready and waiting for her entrance. This young lady is a true professional.
I don't believe this picture requires a caption.
Uhhhh鈥�..Alyssa? You should really get that looked at before we start the second act.
Andrew and I pass the intermission away by practicing our yo-yoing skills. He's really good. Me, I'm still trying to untangle the string.
It's Intermission! David Manis is either holding his wig block, or he has an extremely swollen thumb.
Tessa visits our dressing room for her daily helping of sprinkles.
David Lansbury plays the village priest in the first act. His certificate of ordination is still in question.
Lute Breuer is pondering another entry of the world's largest crossword puzzle. Only 1,028 more words to go.
This picture features half the female population in War Horse. Seriously.
Throughout the show, our dressing room sees many sweet visitors, including Katy Pfaffl, our song woman. She's taking a break before she rocks it out onstage with her solid vocals and trusty violin.
Swallows, Jude Sandy and Enrico D. Wey, are ready for take off from the stage left garage.
PLACES!! Alex Hoeffler, as Joey's Heart, waits in the vom with stage managers Chris Munnell and Amy Marsico.
This edition of the Green Room Improv Sing Along features the old spiritual "I'll Fly Away," led by our song man on the right, Jack Spann.
Dressing Room Number 5 convenes before the show to discuss many topics, including music, men and world peace.
Rick is simply glowing as he announces the half hour call and the line up for today's show.
Madeleine already has a wall lined with her one-of-kind designs. Watch out for her on Project Runway in 2020!
Krystal Rowley and Madeleine Rose Yen prepare for their Act I backstage activities鈥�
Introducing Andy Murray and the Rumble Roller! (Apparently Andy didn't read the instructional manual鈥�)
Fight Call continues with Joey and Topthorn practicing their horse fight鈥� Don't worry, they really love each other. They're just acting.
As Crow track, my team holds the poles for the stables scene. Here, Isaac and I are demonstrating how NOT to hold the poles.
I found him! Mr. Andrew Durand, himself. It's time for fight call, where we run through the show's major fight sequences. It also gives the cast a chance to greet each other, warm up our bodies and see who got a haircut the day before.
Speaking of stage management, here's the dream team now! In the office currently are Karen Evanouskas, PSM Rick Steiger, and Chris Munnell.
On "Crow" track for the matinee, and then we'll be Joey the Horse tonight! Each team consists of 3 puppeteers, cleverly named Head, Heart and Hind. It's a complicated rotation between the horses, but stage management has it down to an equestrian science.
My fellow horse puppeteer, Isaac Woofter, arrives at the call board to sign in and double check the horse team rotation for today's shows.
And our dear dresser Peggy always makes sure we are well-equipped for World War I.
Hello, Dressing Room Number 5! I have the honor of sharing this space with two beautiful fellow War Horse women, Katrina Yaukey and Jeslyn Kelly.
I meet up with Tessa Klein and Katy Pfaffl as we enter the cool air-conditioning of the Vivian Beaumont Theater.
Look! It's our team as Topthorn. There are four horse teams in our cast that rotate between the two horse characters, Topthorn and Joey. But more about that later鈥�
Ahhhh! It's Andrew Durand, our Albert! Well, It's a huge picture of Andrew. We'll see him in person very shortly.
I love this walk along 65th street to the stage door. I often check out what films are playing at the Lincoln Center Film Society, located down on the left (I also highly recommend the black truffle parmesan popcorn they sell inside:)
Here's our stop on the 1-train鈥� LINCOLN CENTER! Do I actually work here? Someone pinch me...
... to visit my friend Laura Henning, who works at Mercer Kitchen. Laura and I performed together with the Radio City Rockettes for three years. I enjoy the good food and company before heading back uptown to Lincoln Center.
I take the 6-train downtown towards Soho鈥�
Stopping by my favorite bakery on the way to the subway, it's time to redeem my free iced coffee! And it's only taken me eight iced coffees to get here!
Leaving my apartment, I draw a quick note for my roommates. It's not quite up to the MOMA's standard, but it's perfect for our humble abode.
Good Morning!! It's a two-show day in the land of War Horse. I wake up in my "upper" upper Eastside apartment and enjoy a little practice at the keyboard.
鈥淎ngie, do you see a Marc Jacobs bag in my future??鈥� 鈥淲ell, at least I see a trip to Loehmann鈥檚.鈥�
It's Places, and time for the official ceremony called the 鈥淒onning of the Mermaid Tail.鈥� Quite scientific... I won鈥檛 bore you all with the elaborate details.
Here at Big Fish, there is always an elephant in the room. Actually, there are three. And We Three Puppeteers, Tally Sessions, myself and Lara Seibert, take our roles of pachyderms very seriously.
ANOTHER SHAMELESS PLUG!!! My hairdresser Danny Koye offers a brilliant hair care line, DKoye. You鈥檙e welcome, Danny:)
Looks like we have a busy Two-Show Day: Pizza party and Equity Flu Shots between shows! Best incentive ever to get your vaccination!
I鈥檝e been working on my mustache collection. CHALLENGE: Can you match each mustache to one of the following actors in Big Fish: Cary Tedder, Alex Brightman, Ryan Andes and Tally Sessions (answers on last slide)
I have a few minutes to relax, so I sit at World Wide Plaza in midtown and work on my Etch-A-Sketch Art (SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT!! Follow me @elleetchysketchyart on Instagram)
For a pre-show snack, I make my way to the oh-so-popular-and-healthy-Westerly Market... kombucha, anyone?
There鈥檚 nothing like the educational/entertaining ballet class of Kat Wildish. Who doesn鈥檛 enjoy a morning adagio inspired by Christopher Columbus, the waterfalls of Australia, or last night鈥檚 mixed drink?
Subway took a bit longer than expected, so I gotta run now into ballet class at Alvin Ailey! Plies start in 5 minutes!
Another Op鈥檔in鈥�, Another Show... with animal puppets! No matter the show, I enjoy honing my puppetry skills in the morning. I鈥檝e made my own replica of our Big Fish mermaid tail with fabric courtesy of Will Pike, our talented puppet designer.
And with just a few moments to spare, my lovely lass Tessa Klein of War Horse fame runs to give me a hug. This marks our second appearance together in Two-Show Day features. Keep 鈥榚m coming!
