Watch What Happens - Jeremy Jordan

the last show

Jan 22

Brielle walked into the theater for her final performance as the Mad Hatter and was immediately met by Danny Stiles, the March Hare.

"Ready for your last show, Bri?" He asked, handing her an iced coffee.

"Oh, Danny, thank you, you shouldn't have," Brielle said, taking the coffee from Danny. "I think I'm ready, I just don't want to leave all of you."

"We'll still be around, and now you have Newsies. How was your first rehearsal?" Danny continued talking to Brielle as she signed in and made her way to her dressing room.

"I think it went really well, actually. I'm still kind of in shock even though I started rehearsing 3 months ago. Rehearsing with the whole cast really made it feel real. I'm going to be on Broadway in 3 months."

"I'm so happy for you, Bri. We'll miss you."

"Thanks. I'll miss all of you."

Brielle reached her dressing room and sat her bag and coffee down. Danny left her to go to his dressing room and Brielle sat down with a sigh.

"One last time," she muttered.

The show started at 7 and it was currently 4, so she had time to get some of her school work done. Jose dropped by with a veggie sub which Brielle proceeded to only eat half of, and Carly dropped by when she got to the theater. Soon it was 6 and time to get ready for the show. Brielle opened her Instagram and went live to show her getting ready for her last show.

"Hey everyone! I thought I would go live today for 1 hour like I've done a couple of times. Today's my last show, so it's the last time you'll all see me getting ready for Mad Hatter."

Brielle went through her normal routine, and Carly came in to get ready with her.

"Are you excited about Newsies?" Brielle read from the comments. "Yes. I'm really excited about the show. I've been rehearsing for a few months now, but today was my first time with the rest of the cast. It's funny, I actually started auditioning for Newsies around the same time I auditioned for Wonderland. Newsies took longer though because Kat is a new original character and for Mad Hatter, I'm a replacement... Can you do another live with Kate? See I would, but as you can see Kate isn't here. I have Carly though which is just as good. Kate and I are still very close, so I'm sure there'll be more lives from us in the future... Is Carly going to miss you? I don't know. Carly, are you gonna miss me?"

"Obviously," Carly said, fake crying. "I don't know what I'm going to do without my love. It'll be just me and Hannah, my understudy. Everyone else is old and weird."

"Are you calling me old and weird?" Danny asked, coming into the dressing room. Carly laughed.

"Yes," she said.

"I'm offended. Bri, Jose told me to tell you to eat your food. And I'm telling you to finish your coffee."

"Tell Jose I'm kind of busy right now," Brielle said, rolling her eyes. She then finished her coffee in one sip. "There. Happy?"

"No, but that'll do," Danny said.

"You guys need to calm down. I'll finish eating after the show."

"I'll hold you to that."

"Anyways... how do you feel about your album doing so well? Ummm I guess I'm just kind of in shock. I think there's been like 100 million streams total which is insane to me because it hasn't even been a week yet."

"It's actually 142.7 million streams," Carly said, looking down at her phone.

"Wow. Ya I think I'm just really happy that people are liking hell so much. I've had a following on social media for a few years now, but never anything nearly as huge as this. So I guess I'll just say thank you to all of you for supporting me. I love you all."
