It was three months after Alison had made her Broadway debut in Finding Peter Pan's story when she realized that she was officially on Broadway. When she first got certified on Instagram she knew that it was official she is a professional performer on Broadway. Her bio said "Broadway performer in Finding Peter Pan's story. Follow me to look into my life more. Official Instagram of Alison Wills." Her agent started getting more and more messages from her fans following her on Instagram . As a young actress living her dream of going to school full time and working she made it happen.
She managed to get all of her school work done in between shows or at intermission while she is getting ready for the second show if she can't do it all at college. In the family she grew up in school came first and that's stuck in her mind since she was a youngster. Alison's day usually starts out at 6:00 sometimes 5:30 in the morning depending on the day she has ahead. Mornings with her are she starts out with putting her glasses on before she gets out of bed so she is able to walk to the bathroom to put her contacts in. After that she makes breakfast and then heads to get changed into work out clothes so she can go do a physical body warm up before the Central Park gets too crazy with tourists and before she has to go to school for four hours. Once she gets done with school she jumps on a subway or cab to head to theatre where she spend the most time. The dressing room she was in she was sharing it with Lindsay Nickel. When they first get there in the room they do vocal warm-up's together. Alison does some homework everyday for an hour and a half before half hour comes around. depending on how much she has she will do her makeup before or after she starts her homework. Lindsay will sometimes help tutor Ally depending on what she's learning because Lindsay is a year ahead of her.
Lindsay and Ally got ready to leave the room to head to stage door when Ally got a surprise message from her old coach back home stating "I'm waiting for you to come outside." Her old coach had gotten a new number since Ally had moved away so she had no idea who it was and when she walked out. She saw her standing outside the door and ran to her. They both were so happy to see each other again. The part that made Ally most excited was that she never told her coach about the show. The only person that could've told her was Alison's parents back home with her younger siblings. When her coach told her that it was her parents. Lindsay and Ally walked around to take pictures and signed autographs before taking her coach backstage to their dressing rooms and a tour of the theatre where they had been for the past three months. Her coach was so proud to know where of her students she had taught 7 or 8 years ago excited her greatly. They took picture on the stage because it was after a matinee and they didn't have a show until that night. She wanted to take some pictures back home so she could show some of her students what they could do when they go to college. Ally and Lindsay also signed some of the pictures for the students that they had in their dressing room they would give out at the stage door on occasion. At the stage door there were so many young performers who really looked up to them. Many of them watched them sing in some videos. Each night they would get some little fan art that they hung in their dressing room. Alison and Lindsay went to dinner with Alison's old coach in between shows too. Her coach was in town for the weekend because of some other work she wanted to go see. She was also judging a dance competition at a near by theatre that held many competitions and conventions each year.
Ally went to dance classes every Monday, Sunday and Friday because she was either off or the show wasn't until 8:00 pm. She took ballet every day for three hours. She spent an hour and a half on pointe and the other hour and a half on flat. She also took Contemporary/modern on Mondays for an hour on Monday's. On Sunday's along with ballet Alison also trains in tap for a good two hours each week to learn skills and to continue with tap technique since she taps in the show every night in her ensemble track. Friday's at the studio were busy because she had ballet and musical theatre jazz class. Only being in college gave her the disadvantage of being the youngest one in her classes because everyone in her classes were older. Alison didn't really seem to mind the age difference. In class Alison had to do her best. Once her dance classes were done she would head to theatre depending on it she was on that night. On Monday nights she was off luckily. Monday nights were her nights to catch up on homework and to work on some other projects no one would know about yet.
