unsung heroes of Broadway
the people who film 54 Below shows
the hair and makeup people who just smile benevolently and keep doing their thing as the actors dramatically livestream pre-show
the reporters at the Tonys who know everyone’s faces, names, and resumes
OBC replacements, who face sky-high expectations and skepticism before they even begin
the people who meet actors and use that time to ask them to say hi/happy birthday to friends
the fanfiction writers who fix canon deaths in a thoughtful and complex way
the artists who draw characters as POC
bootleggers who get caught and still film future shows
the fans who repost Instagram content to Tumblr for other fans who don’t have IG, and vice versa
the audience members who attend final performances for certain cast members/shows and post play-by-play descriptions of every time someone cried
the parents who support their children’s theatre dreams, even if it goes against the cultural norms that they themselves were raised with
you, for watching bootlegs (seriously)
you, for making the effort to engage with theatre even if it’s not accessible to you
you, for keeping theatre beautifully alive
