The Daughters: Adopted by Renée Elise Goldsberry and Daveed Diggs

So Fetch!

July 1
"Don't forget when Pippa and I get back next month I have to take you to Ohio for your interview. Also, tomorrow is BookCon." Renée says, dropping me off at the stagedoor of the Theater. "I know mom." I say. "Okay. I don't want to have Mandy or your father call me because you are miss behaving." She says. I nod. "Be safe Nicole, I'll call you later tonight." Mom says. "Goodbye mom." I say. "Goodbye Nicole." She says and Jimmy lets me into the Theater. Today was the Put In rehearsal and I was excited to watch it, especially because of the cast. Ryan Vasquez, my favorite ensemble male was going over a new track today. I make my way up the stairs and I see all the actors and actresses either in their costume or in normal clothes. I wish the put ins good luck and go to find Mandy. Before I get to the hallway to the dressing rooms, I see Joanna, Mandy, Lexi, Anthony, and Thayne on the steps, hanging out. "Hey guys!" I say. "Nicole!" Lexi exclaims, coming to hug me. "Hey." I say. "Hey Nicole!" Joanna says. "Hey Joanna, how's mourning your youth and your lack of love going?" I ask. She laughs. "Good." She says. "Hi Nicole!" Anthony says. "Hello Anthony." "Nicole, how are you?" Thayne asks. "Good. You?" "Good thanks for asking. And how's your friend shayla?" "She's good." I say, remembering that she's not going to be coming for BookCon because of mom and Pippa. "Hey Nicole." Mandy says. "Mandy!" I exclaim. She gets up and hugs me. "So, guys, Nicole is going to be spending some of the summer with me because Renée is going to be in Boston." Mandy says. "That's great!" Lexi says. I nod. "Is that A vlog camera?" I ask Mandy, referring to the camera in her lap. "Oh. It's a surprise thing I'm doing for the squad. You'll find out tonight." She says. "Okay." I say. "So, Nicole, I know you wanted to watch the rehearsals but something amazing is happening today that we won't be able to do because of the rehearsal but I know you'll love it!" Mandy starts. "Okay." I say. "So, every year we have Stars in the alley where the different Broadway cast members preform a number from their respective show. Today is this years one. I've already talked to Jimmy and he knows to let you back in when the event is done. It's free and the cast of mean girls is their along with the DEH cast which I know you love." She finishes. I nod. "I hope you have fun!" Mandy says. "I will. Thanks Mandy. Bye Guys!" I say. "Bye Nicole!" They exclaim. I go to the alley where it was being held and accidentally bump into someone. "Sorry." I say. "It's alright." A girl says, whose voice sounds like I knew her extremely well. I turn around. "Oh my gosh. Katherine Steele!" I exclaim. "Hey!" She says. "I'm in the Theatre Thursday Fam and I can quote your intro from memory." I say. "That's amazing. What's your name?" She replies. "Nicole. Nicole Goldsberry." I say. Her eyes widen. "Oh my gosh. Your the actual Nicole Goldsberry." She says. I nod. "You are a big reason I started a YouTube channel. I remember you are the reason I know I am Soprano. From your videos." I say. "I'm so glad. And you are a very pretty soprano. I've seen you sing in videos before and your voice is amazing." She says. "Thanks. Well, I've got to get going. Hopefully we can collab some time." I say. "Yeah! I'd love that." Kath says. "Okay. Bye Katherine, see you on Theatre Thursday!" I say. "Bye Nicole!" She says. Oh my god. I just met Katherine Steele. That's one thing to cross of my bucket list. The event starts up and I love it. Especially the mean girls part but I loved seeing Will Roland in person. I was waiting to see DEH till his last show, because I used to have a crush on him and I wanted to see him on his last night. Then after the whole thing, I go back to the Theater and up to Mandy's dressing room, which was closed because she was getting ready for the evening show. "Are you Decent?" I ask her. "Yes! Come in Nicole!" She says. I come in and she hugs me. "How was it?" She asks. "Amazing, I met Katherine Steele, and saw Taylor and the mean girls cast, and Will..." I say. "So, do you have any makeup on right now?" Mandy asks. I nod. "Take it off, the girls and I want to do your hair and makeup!" Mandy exclaims. "Ooh. I'm excited!" I say. "Your going to look amazing!" Mandy says, calling in Lexi and Joanna. I might as well do an Instagram livestream of this, I think to myself. I  take out my phone and do it. How could I compete with Mandy's Medley, and Becky's Babble, well that ladies and Gentlemen was how Nicole's Nightly was born. The livestream that started with Mandy, Lexi, and Joanna (I can't help but sing their names in the Schuyler Sisters rhythm) doing my hair and makeup for some reason.
