You're really sweet, babes! My Broadway debut was actually a few years ago with Chicago, but it was incredibly special getting to come back with Just in Time. There's something lovely about returning to Broadway when you've already had that first experience under your belt, you get to enjoy it without quite so much panic. To answer your question, I think it was always one of those dreams that lived somewhere in the back of my mind. If you love theatre, Broadway has this almost mythical quality to it. So getting to stand on those stages and be part of that tradition never stops feeling a little surreal. The fact that people actually buy tickets to watch me do it is the part I still haven't fully wrapped my head around. Do you like theatre?

oh wait, really ? totally missed your official debut then. let's just call now your official inofficial broadway debut from lori's pov and me hyping you up about it. please and thank you. but yeah, that makes sense. returning to broadway with that first experience behind you ― still exciting, but maybe with a little more room to actually enjoy the moment instead of just surviving it. i love the way you put that though and honestly, i think that's part of why people buy tickets. it's not just about seeing a performance; it's about watching someone who genuinely loves what they're doing. like that enthusiasm comes across. and you're obviously radiating that from head to toe. me ? oh, i love theatre. love enjoying it comfortably seated in the front row. because just the thought of standing up there on stage and an audience watching makes me want to throw up five balls of stage fright.

when am i going to see you again? i know i haven't been going to many events lately because i'm such a lazy person and i've been "on vacation" for fucking years, but i need to know... it's a pretty good view, you know. @lorihcrveys

shawn baby, you talk about an endless vacation and a pretty view for years, get me all jealous, only to ask me when you're gonna see me again ? like hello ? i could've made your view even prettier, but you never asked me to join. with award season being over, it's festivals and brands we're both collabing with only and that means mingling with the crowd until you catch my face somewhere. are we playing "cat and mouse" here ? 'cause i'm in if we are. you'll never catch me anyway.

I'm still pinching myself over it, to be honest. thee hot girl coach was definitely in her element. and the judging from everyone's reaction, I'm not alone in that assessment. hehe. I'll get right on that. but in the meantime you can listen to my collaboration with david guetta and ejae; titled dna (more than just a game), the official fifa world cup anthem. and yes to those drinks, I definitely could use them.

yeah, definitely. my eyes were glued to thee hot girl coach and i loved every second of it. you're part of the official world cup anthem ? you go, girl. at this point, i feel drinks and catching a game would be appropriate. what are we feeling ? a us game ? or ghana vs england, maybe ? i have zero clue when it comes to soccer, but i'll just pretend. and break out in cheers whenever your voice graces those speakers.

thank you so much babe. it’s alright, you’re a busy woman and you know i understand that. i had an incredible day, i got to spoil myself and have a spa day something i needed. i might’ve had more than a shot of tequila. i would love a girls night, i saw ryan the other day and she said the same thing!

yeah, true. but never too busy to make it up to you. love the idea of getting the whole crew together. we also gotta steal all of megan and chase's free time for that girls night. you spoiled yourself with a spa day ? that's exactly what you deserve. now that you're all relaxed and hopefully hangover free after all of those tequila shots, i'll be blunt enough to ask for new music. because girl, it's time. i miss your angelic voice.

i read on wikipedia (yes, i was creeping) that you used to be a competitive equestrian, aiming for the olympic games but ended up having to drop out due to an injury. did you ever end up getting back to horse riding or is it still completely off the the table?

we all love to creep occasionally, let's be real. i did end up getting back to horse riding, but in a much more casual way. think relaxed riding along the beach while the sun is setting type of way. doctor's orders, sadly. but if this is your way of suggesting we should do one of those horseback riding tours through the valley, then i'm all game. not sure how good you are with horses, but they've also been my safe haven in the calm before the storm. and seeing as you've got a big tour coming up ( do tour announcements showing up on my fyp without me following either of you and me still checking out the dates to see if i could make it to a show count as creeping ? ) i'm pretty sure you'd wanna get as much calm and relaxation in as possible.

@lorihcrveys a little birdy told me we are roomies for this napa valley retreet. I can be a bit of an old fashioned girl so if you could join me for some wine that would be fantastic, what do you say?

definitely down to join you for some wine. we could hike up those vineyards. start at the bottom with those little grapelets and then enjoy the finished product once we're on top. old fashioned girl how ? like are we talking tea in bed and phones off before going to sleep or ?

i mean, it definitely can work for other people. there's always gonna be those sweet lovebirds that make me want to gag, like they found their person in high school, and life has never been the same since or whatever. but i like when it's a little messier—not just talking about blood rituals there—,meatier, more epic that way. feels like i'm quoting logan echolls right now and if you haven't seen veronica mars add it to your watchlist immediately. my grandmother would've actually been all over situationships, she was a fierce one. she passed, but this famous medium, tyler henry, channeled her and made it known yet again that i was always the favorite grandchild. i mean, duh, obviously. but speaking of, are you in one now? you looking, testing options? give me the tea because i'm nosy as hell. honestly my life has been bloody dull lately and i need to spice things up, hopefully with this valley trip coming up. want to be my wingwoman? could be fun, could be a disaster, probably both.

that's true. but i'm right there with you ― the perfectly tidy "we met at sixteen and never looked at another person again" stories are cute in theory, but i need at least a little chaos. not toxic levels, just enough emotional damage to make the lore interesting. the epicness matters. veronica mars has somehow stayed off my watchlist for way too long apparently and i need to change that. you're really one for the blood rituals, huh ? what exactly has you so whipped on that ? your grandmother honestly sounds iconic. especially after tyler henry channeled her in the afterlife and she still put priority on making sure that you knew that you're her favorite grandchild. please don't tell me you're her only grandchild now, it'd ruin the story for me. i’m kind of in the "observing the wildlife" phase right now. not fully looking, not fully unavailable either. just seeing what or who fits my vibe, you know. obviously i'll be your wingwoman for the valley trip. best case scenario ― we engineer a cinematic hook-up. worst case ― we collect stories and judge people together over drinks after. either way, i think we win. who are you rooming with ? maybe we can start off there.

it does, doesn't it? the very definition of a hot girl summer. eh, spring. hehe. you know what? I'm proud of me, too. at the very top of my resumé. printed in bold. exhausting beyond limits. working me mentally, emotionally, and physically. but it's definitely enhanced my skills performing on stage. from stamina to breath control. even memorization of lines. oh, I'm already done. concluded on the first of may. yes, planning this vacation as we speak.

printed in bold with a little gold star added to it. we'll call the "exhausting beyond limits" professional development. gives the mental, emotional, and physical work a little positive touch when you look back at it. is your first vacation planned in napa ? please tell me i'm gonna see your gorgeous face around over there.

i just saw that complex did a whole article on you a few weeks back because you follow the whole don't stop your boyfriend from letting you find a husband philosophy and honestly finger snaps for that one. i mean i should know, i've been in enough toxic situations to always have my eyes half out the door, scanning the room for the next hot mess before i truly settle down anywhere. is that a character flaw? absolutely. but it's also really fucking fun and keeps things interesting, so like, i'm not apologizing for it. commitment is overrated when you're busy collecting experiences and bad decisions like they're going out of style. / @lorihcrveys

right ? people forget about all the fun and experience you're collecting while living that way. i mean, would never judge someone for choosing the easy route down ― dating for a while to get married and potentially having kids. good for you. and sometimes that works out. but when it doesn't, what happens next ? someone cheats or gets tired of that whole suburbian life. there's fighting. there's miscommunication. there's everything i don't ever wanna endure. and let's be real ― most people are out here pretending they're ready for forever while secretly keeping a backup roster in their head anyway. at this point it might be considered a character flaw but fast forward a couple of years and it'll be a vibe. like situationships. whoever made that one famous deserves an award. imagine having to explain that one to your grandma, though. like she'd never understand, but she'll throw a fit anyway. what bad decisions have you made lately to collect all the experience like it's going out of style ?
