Renee speaking

We had opened on Broadway about a 4 months ago when it happened. The night that we opened was an emotional roller coaster. There was feelings of excitement, nervousness, and joy...and there were a few tears. We got to meet many celebrities like, Beyoncé, Raven Symone, Yevette Brown, etc. After the show finished there was a standing ovation from the crowd; friends, family members, celebrities, even strangers were cheering us on. After we were done with the show, we had a party and fireworks to celebrate this special accomplishment. The show was a massive success! It was going great and everyone was happy... until things took a turn for the worst. (She wipes away a tear)

Emmy speaking

We had just finished a two show day when it happened. It was like a flash. It was December 4th. We decided to have a sleep over at a hotel close to the theater. The room was huge! It was like a house... okay it might have been a villa. The main cast stayed in one room and the ensemble stayed in another room. We were having so much fun. We played board games, played songs that we love, and watched the funniest Christmas movie ever. We laughed, we cried... from laughter, we danced we, sang, we did everything. It was a decent hour, maybe around 8:00, when we were about to go to bed. And then BAM! The lights shut off. We were thinking that the the generator would turn on but it didn't. We got out as much flash lights as possible. They had some in the emergency storage room in the villa. Then, we heard a man say over a loud speaker, " Everyone, please exit the building, I repeat please leave the building. Further information provided outside. Thank you for your service." My heart dropped. I ran over to Daveed who was struggling to get our stuff. "Bub, I'm scared" I said.

Daveed speaking

"Bub, I'm scared!" Emmy said squeezing my arm tightly. I replied holding her tighter, "I know my love it's okay. We'll try to get out of here quickly." Everyone quickly ran out of the building. And then, well, it happened. We call it...








The Tragedy

Ariana speaking

The building, it, it collapsed. (She tears up). With a few cast members inside.

Flashback

Renee's POV

We were trying to get out of the building. I can't find Jazzy though. I go to Oak thinking she was with him, but she wasn't.

"Oak, where's Jas?" I ask shakily.

"I-I don't know!" he replies. He was tearing up.

"Shhhh honey, it's okay." I comfort him as best as I could whilst we go searching for Jasmine.

End of Flashback.

Renee speaking

We couldn't find her, we couldn't find her anywhere. We looked all over the villa she was no where to be found. Then we heard the man speak again, "If there are people still inside the building you need to get out now."

I thought to myself, we couldn't leave, we couldn't go without my baby girl.

I felt someone grab my arm... it was Chris. He was like "We need to get out of here now. I was like, "No no, we're not leaving without Jas." Oak moved slightly and wiggled out of my arms. He was like "I'm going to find Jasmine". I told him to go with Lin, and of course he put up a fight but I was not gonna lose Oak either. So I went myself.
