It's Saturday, and that means it's time for BroadwayWorld's "Saturday Intermission Pics" round-up!
Do you ever wonder what your favorite Broadway, Off-Broadway, National Tour and regional stars are doing during intermission? Thanks to NEWSIES' Andrew Keenan-Bolger (@KeenanBlogger) and EVITA's Max von Essen (@MaxizPad), dedicated performers and excited fans, now you can see for yourself. Three years ago, Keenan-Bolger, then in Mary Poppins, and Max von Essen, then in Xanadu, started the trend. And to the delight of Broadway fanatics across the globe, the pair has revived the ritual this year.
Andrew Keenan-Bolger (@KeenanBlogger) Tweeted today, June 16: "Hey showfolk. It's Saturday and that can only mean one thing--Saturday Intermissions Pics!! #SIP"
Max von Essen (@MaxizPad) added: "What's today???? #SIP #SIP #SIP #SIP !!!! Ooooh some of our #SIP 'ers are now TONY winners! :-)" Then continued with, "#SIP 's are Saturday Intermission Pics! Let's see 'em. Audience, casts, broadway, tours, cruise ships, regional, you name it. Have fun!"
