This week, I had the fabulous opportunity to capture some production photos of the brilliant world premiere of "The Music That Makes Me Dance" in North Hollywood. A truly phenomenal production.
Running two more times today at the El Portal Theatre with tickets available!! Thank you to Scott Thompson and the incredible team behind this masterpiece for permitting me to do so. I am so grateful! And congrats on a terrific show!!

It's one thing when you are blessed to take production photos. It is a whole nother level when you get to photograph one of your best friends being absolutely radiant onstage. Just knowing Lana is such a gift, but this time was special.
Happy Opening to Lana, Scott and the entire team of "The Music That Makes Me Dance"! Thank you for allowing me to capture your gorgeous creation and gifts!

Imagine having to sing @chicagomusical the musical entirely in German. That’s exactly what @lanajeangordon did while performing Velma in Germany. When she later returned to Broadway in New York… one German word accidentally slipped into the English version of the song on stage.
One of my favorite moments from this conversation.
From a larger documentary project currently in the works. 🎬

Celebrating incredible women in the arts this International Women’s Day. ✨
Last week I sat down with the incredible @lanajeangordon (She played Persephone in @hadestown and we met on the Hadestown subway one-shot video I directed last year, which reached over 2M views).
We spoke about the discipline of performing on Broadway, longevity in the craft, and her experience playing Velma in Chicago — in German — in Germany.
One of many conversations for a documentary project currently in the works. 🎬 #ᴡᴏᴍᴇɴᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ #filmmaking #broadway
