To Broadway

The Show

Stephanie's POV:

Tonight we get to go see Phantom but the rest of the afternoon we had free and we were going exploring. We had to be back at least 45 minutes before the show so that we would have time to shower and get ready in our nice clothes. I got ready and met the girls outside of our room. We got our tickets into our handbags and quickly made our way to the theater. We all showed our tickets to the people who scan them and made our way to the entrance. The lady directed us to our seats and handed us our Playbills. "Can you believe we're here?" Alyssa asked and flipped through her Playbill. "I know!" Brooke and I silently exclaimed at the same time.

We all took a picture before the show started. "This is the best day of my life!" I said quietly and put my Playbill and bag under my seat. We sat and chatted silently for a few more minutes and then we saw all the actors gathering on the stage. I grinned at the other girls just as they started the show.

"Lot six-six-six then..." We all smiled and turned to each other.

We all knew the lines so we lip-sinked them. Then, the long awaited Overture.

"Gentlemen!" And then. Bam! The music started and the chandelier started moving. When Overture was over and the chandelier was raised up, it hung right over our heads. When all the actresses and actors walked onto the stage for Hannibal and we automatically started looking for Sierra Boggess who was playing Christine. "Where is she?" I whispered to myself looking for her. I didn't see her anywhere. We all frantically scanned the stage. At last, we saw her dance across the stage. We let out a tiny sigh of relief and watched her with adoration.

At intermission we all walked to the bathroom while gabbing about the show. "It's so much better in person!" I say. "Right?!" Brooke says. "We're skipping curtain call." Alyssa says. "Why?" we ask feeling disappointed. "Would you like to meet the cast?" Alyssa said. "Yes!" we say getting excited. "we're skipping it then. it takes a few minutes to get to the stage door." she says just as we get into the bathroom.

The show is almost over, Norm Lewis is an amazing phantom. Meg holds up the mask and all three of us are pretty much balling our eyes out. We all start to get up, so does everyone else. As everyone else is clapping for the actresses and actors, we're making our way to the stage door. We get out of the doors and take a right, following Alyssa. "I looked this up. I know where we're going." she says and we take another right. We see this green gate and turn into there. With our Playbills in hand, we run down the hall. We're the first ones there and notice a few others making their way in. "I'm so excited!" I say. After waiting a few minutes people start to come out. Mostly just the minor characters at first but then, the person we didn't expect to see yet walked over to us.

~~~~~~~| Alyssa's POV |~~~~~~~~~

"Oh my gosh! Sierra!!!" I yell jumping up and down. "Hi!" Sierra says. "I want to be just like you someday! I'm going to play Christine, I know it." I say starting to cry tears of joy "oh, don't cry." Sierra says and then hugs me. "It's just that I love you so much, and now I'm talking to you and you hugged me." I say whipping the tears off my face "can you sign this?" I say handing her my Playbill. She signs it and I notice that the girls have been taking pictures. "picture?" I ask Sierra. "sure!" she says putting her arm around me and smiling at Brooke's camera. "thank you so so much!" I say hugging her. "Aww you're welcome." She says going to Brooke and Stephanie. I take their pictures and we sit and wait.

After meeting and taking pictures with most of the cast including Jeremy Hays who played Raoul, we were still missing one. Norm Lewis. We wound up waiting about five more minutes for him. When he finally came out, I was the first one he talked to. "Norm! you were fantastic!" I say as he signs my Playbill. "Thank you so much" he says "Can we get a picture?" I ask. "definitely" he say turning to Brooke's camera. After we take the picture I decide that if I'm taking a picture with the phantom, I should go all out. "can we do one in the 'floating, falling' pose?" I ask. suddenly everyone who was there decided that was an awesome idea. "sure!" he say turning to the camera. "this is perfect!" Steph says. "thank you you so so much." I say. "no problem." he says and then the same routine with the other girls.

By the time we got to the hotel, it was midnight and we were all exhausted. We couldn't just go to bed though. We flipped through our pictures, phangirled, posted pictures and then eventually fell asleep.
