"The Legacy Robe tradition is sharing at its finest. The chorus is all about community and the femme ensemble dressing room is the heart of the theater. Need a stick of gum? Got you. Emergency tampon? Say less. Extra lash or a mid-show snack? Boom, it's yours. We swap clothes like it's Fashion Week, cackle over wild dating stories, offer shoulders to cry on and make friends for life. It’s chaos, it's a vibe and honestly, it's the dopest spot in the theater.
"My Robe ceremony reminded me how much love and support exists within the chorus. Sometimes no one sees us but us, and in that Legacy Robe circle on the Majestic Stage, I felt very, very seen."

Fun Fact: "Empty hours during the pandemic sent me down exactly two rabbit holes: Craft cocktails and early aughts television. I make an Old Fashioned that could put your favorite NYC bar to shame, and channeling my favorite sitcom brothers Frasier and Niles, I'm apt to share unsolicited critiques of a cocktail's subpar flavor profile. AKA I'll roast that weak drink at your favorite bar."
