    My day starts early, even on _Hamilton _s opening night! My angel Brielle is up, and she wants breakfast!

    My husband, my dad, my son, and my brothers send me off to the Richard Rodgers Theatre with so much love! I hope they enjoy the show tonight!

    The cast gathers together onstage before opening night to celebrate our Gypsy Robe winner, Betsy Struxness! (A tradition on Broadway that honors the ensemble member with the most Broadway credits.) Work, Betsy!

    Our director, Tommy Kail, and music director, Alex Lacamoire, stop by every dressing room before the show to wish us luck. I love them because they always make time for that—not just on opening night!
