Existential Life Crisis Lullaby pt 2

Another fabulous show- this time directed by Jaki Bradley, and starring Alice Ripley, Ethan Slater, Nathan Lee Graham, Stephen Trask, Wesley Taylor, and Sophia Ramos.

Existential Life Crisis Lullaby pt 2 was focused on The View UpStairs, and so naturally I had to up the reveal to fit the gay pre-aids utopian 70s aesthetic. Thankfully my entire family and boyfriend's family were in the audience to witness -_-

And then bc the View UpStairs takes place back in 1973, I helped everyone with my Time Travel magic powers (spoiler: having magical lighting from Jake DeGroot helps quite a bit!!)

Once back in 1973, Sophia Ramos gave us the T on what life was like back then and slayed tha motherf*cking house down.

Then Ethan Slater bolstered our spirit back with a little dose of bittersweet optimism.

Hoping I won't have to change the lyric for this song for the Encores at City Center revival 20 years from now :/

I then sang "Waltz" from the View UpStairs, a song that kind of terrifies me for a few reasons, but I am proud of this performance: 

Then as an extra special guest, Tony Award winner Alice Ripley came and sang "Last Woman Standing" from the Tattooed Lady.

If there was one message that summarized the entire evening it was this:
