“The curtain is supposed to fly up and we’re all there,” Andrew shares. “And I am not religious, but I was like, ‘Thank you for whoever did this for me,’ but I closed by eyes — I was really trying to be present because I watched a lot of Oprah then — and then I opened my eyes and it was still black and I thought I died.”

“This girl, Becky Gulsvig, was like, ’No the computer crashed, we have to start over,’” Andrew explains. “And I was like, ‘What? That’s a thing that happened on Broadway?!‘”
