Waking up. That’s my dog Milo.
John Cariani
Milo is slow to wake up.
John Cariani
Going for a run. Matinees always feel so early. So I have to go for a run to wake up.
John Cariani
On my run—awesome view of the GWB.
John Cariani
Not an omelette. But—eggs for breakfast!
John Cariani
Getting to the theater and seeing Leslie, one of the head usher guys.
John Cariani
Lolly my (and Heidi Blickenstaff’s and Kate Reinders’) dresser. She keeps us looking good and feeling good. She comes to our rescue when we have colds. She knows how to heal.
John Cariani
I get to the theater at half-hour. And Kate and Heidi are getting into hair and costumes and so I don’t see them until the places call. So I yell Hi through the door.
John Cariani
My Sonos. I love it. Favorite thing in my dressing room. Right now it’s playing Little Big Town. Wayne Kirkpatrick (he co-wrote the score and lyrics to Something Rotten! with his brother Karey) produced and wrote on their first few albums. They’re my favorite country band.
John Cariani
Christian Borle bring me creme brulee almonds. From Starbucks. Because I love them. He has his Shakespeare rockstar makeup on already.
John Cariani
We just got places! Last minute preparations. First time I usually see the ladies! I don’t think they wanted me to take this picture.
John Cariani
Heading to places. Brooks and Brian chatting. Brooks is just not funny at all. Ever. I feel sad for him
John Cariani
My favorite part of the show! Places! We all hang out behind the drop and get ready for Michael James Scott to sing his face off and welcome everybody to the renaissance. You can see Marisha Wallace and David Hibbard and Angie Schworer in this pic.
John Cariani
Intermission. I eat chips.
John Cariani
MK Flynt, PSM. I think she had just called her first show and I was congratulating her. And giving her a few notes. (Nooo! She was perfect!)
John Cariani
My partner, John, and Heidi and I and Heidi’s new husband, Nicholas. We had just had dinner together between shows. Nizza. Very tasty.
John Cariani
Signing a pile of playbills for BCEFA, I believe, in between shows.
John Cariani
Cassie, our sound maven, and Russ, our doorman. Ran into them as I was…
John Cariani
…delivering BDJ a cookie. He likes cookies. And this one is from Amy’s. Chocolate chip. With salt. Mmm.
John Cariani
Visited the boys upstairs. Matt Wall and Eric Sciotto. True gentlemen.
John Cariani
Bugging Kate. She’s a goofball. And the best stage girlfriend a guy could hope for. Her comic timing...it’s perfection. And check out that pillow. I miss the 90s. The 1990s. I love the 1590s!
John Cariani
Half hour again. This time…some Pat Benetar is playing. Oh, yeah.
John Cariani
Putting my mic on. This only my second Broadway show and I love how small these things are. Now you see it…
John Cariani
Now you don’t.
John Cariani
Intermission. Crème brulee almonds. Instead of potato chips.
John Cariani
Visiting two of the funniest and best guys on Broadway, Brad and Brooks.
John Cariani
After the show, Tricia Paoluccio and Gabe Barre visited backstage. Tricia and I did Fiddler together. Gabe directed Almost, Maine off Broadway in 2006 and his new show, Amazing Grace is opening this summer on Broadway!
