Professional Broadway acting is: One adult man, who is shirtless, making faces at a different adult man, who is pretending to be a woman, while 1000 other people sit in chairs and watch, and one last man takes sneaky photos of the whole thing.

(2/2) Exactly one year ago today was our final day in the rehearsal room for the Chicago version of @tootsiemusical. So here’s a smattering of sneaky rehearsal photos from the summer of 2018, back when we were young...and before half of this stuff got cut. (Part 2/2) #tootsiemusical #rehearsal #broadwaybackstage

Every show, in the middle of singing ‘This Thing’, I run offstage and run back on. And every show, there are high-speed high-fives waiting for me. And now we can all witness the stupidity... of my high five face. @tootsiemusical Photo by @emiliomk for @broadwaycom #tootsiemusical #broadwaybackstage #highfiveface #seriousactors
The @tootsiemusical costume drying corridor, home to our biggest fans. What an ass hall. #tootsiemusical #ourbiggestfans #dorothyonesies #donkeybalboa
Behold our Clockwork Santino! We store @santinofontana like this overnight, put the key in at places, and wind him up! 🗝 He’s the 2nd best mechanical actor this season after Kong in @kingkongbway. #broadwaybackstage #tootsiemusical #windupwarmup @tootsiemusical #meatpuppet
Really glad I had my camera ready for the moment @lulubellestiles was raptured. @tootsiemusical #quickchange #raptureready #tootsiemusical #broadwaybackstage
@santinofontana is easy on the eyes and ears, but he’s absolute hell on a tube of lipstick. @tootsiemusical #broadwaybackstage #mac #macstage #quickchange #tootsiemusical
#tbt To a simpler time, when it was possible to actually believe the Power is Yours. Side note: This costume made the party cleanup feel like a civic duty. #lootingandpollutingisnottheway #homemade #thepowerisyours #whereismycaptainplanetmovie #heart

Every performance of @tootsiemusical, deep in a dark corner of the Marquis Theater (read: McGrath’s dressing room) there is a running card game between these 3. Every show there are winners, there are losers, there are snacks... but most of all there are feelings. Big Shakespearean feelings of betrayal, joy, disgust, dominance, and maybe even occasionally a wee bit of murderous rage.
