One year ago tonight, was the last time I performed in public. I will always treasure that night with Sheldon Harnick, his wife Margie, Jeff Saver, Karen Ziemba and our beautiful friend, Rebecca Luker. pic.twitter.com/HjN1VOYpy5

Ok Theater Twitter, it's almost been a year.

Tony Award-nominee J. Smith-Cameron (center) stars alongside Emmy Award-winner Fran Brill and two-time Tony Award-winner Cherry Jones in the 1993 world premiere of Paula Vogel's biting comedic drama, "Desdemona." What a brilliant cast and director Gloria Muzio! pic.twitter.com/jsodbOo1j3

Had a great dream last night that @CaroleeCarmello led another national tour post-lockdown. No idea what the show was... or where I traveled to see her, so the details are a bit fuzzy... but I am still speaking this into the universe. Thanks in advance. ??a??i???

It's been exactly one year since I last saw a Broadway show? @DianaOnBroadway was so phenomenal and the fact that more people didn't get to experience it before the shutdown makes me very sad, but everyday we are closer to the Netflix recording so that keeps me going pic.twitter.com/J8TfdbEAyQ

It's been over a year since the last time I stepped on a stage with live musicians in concert. I have a feeling the next time I get back to doing this, it'll be a very emotional day. But I'(M) Willing to wait, in order to do it properly and safely for everyone.

One year ago today, I saw 'Jagged Little Pill' on Broadway.
The next day, Broadway shut down. Looking forward to the return of the joy that only live theater can bring. pic.twitter.com/2L66qWkn7n - Lisa Fung (@lfung) March 10, 2021

Trivia day! Can you name the Broadway shows represented in this 1978 ad for, I think, the subway? (Bonus points if you can name the performers!) pic.twitter.com/FBlCabDLTu

Re-listening to the @jaggedmusical cast recording and I'm falling in love with Tom Kitt's glorious orchestrations & vocal arrangements all over again. It's so delicious! I love that it makes something I know so well, and makes it so fresh and able hear JLP in a totally new way.

Only a special few will understand this but it's one of those days where for no apparent reason whatsoever all I have in my head is "Maureen is protesting... losing the performance space... NOT my attitude..."

Reposting one of my favorite photos from the Broadhurst, when I was just setting up my dressing room. @keipence drew this portrait during our run in Cambridge, and their vision of me & Jo really moved me. pic.twitter.com/TMv2AwE4g3

all of our "one year since we performed" posts are poignant and heartbreaking- but shout out to the theater peeps who weren't employed at that time, waiting for the chance at their next gig. that was taken away too and it sucks just as much.
