PHOTO EXCLUSIVE: A Two-Show Day at Broadway's Porgy and Bess With Bryonha Parham

Every morning starts with dog cuddling. It's a must! This is my rescue dog, Obi. We're both very mysterious. Usually before two-show days, I have breakfast with friends. It's great catch up time AND it warms up my healthy mix! One of my besties, Jon, and my friend Rachel who came all the way from Milwaukee to see the show. My view from the stage door at the Richard Rodgers. I have the best job... in the world. Me and our sweet doorman, Jimmy. After 4 flights of stairs, we're at the dressing room! Pincurls. It's real life, people. Me and my awesome dressing roommate, Nikki Renee Daniels. Here's hoping her Broadway credits rub off on me! Allison Blackwell and DAG headed down to places. Our amazing wig crew, Tom and Brendan. Lisa and AJ, showing some love before hitting the stage! (GREAT TEETH) Norm on a break from the stage. Not too many of those! WE ARE TRUE LADIES! Nikki and Allison are all smiles for the picnic. NaTasha Yvette Williams and Nate Stampley during intermission. (My eye spies a reincarnated man...) When Joe Dellger's not playing a racist onstage, he's backstage providing ensemble vocals. Alicia, AJ, Puma and Roo grabbing a quick pic backstage during intermission. Yleanna and Kurt, two fabulous dressers, hard at work during intermission. Constantine Kitsopoulos and his wife during intermission. SO CUTE. Jesse, our wonderful costume supervisor, and myself. Love this man! Kate is Audra's SUPERB dresser, and a wonderful woman to boot. Audra's slip, waiting to cloak that rock hard bod. I mean, have you SEEN that woman?? Norm: Intense onstage AND off. Sometimes, you just need to relax with the interweb. Trevon, myself and Nikki smiling before the storm. Norm practicing the "I'm poor and lonely" face. It's coming along nicely. Norm getting beaten by his dresser. Staged... I think. An actor prepares. Sharika Niles, one of the AMAZING stage managers! Phillip Boykin getting all greased up for his entrance in the storm scene. Sometimes he can be resistant. Joshua Henry is silly. He told me not to use this pic. Audra, post-cocaine. Things are always a little lighter post-cocaine. Me collecting for Broadway Cares after the matinee! Love getting that audience reaction right after. People are so moved! Some of the cast rehearsing for Easter Bonnet. SANG CHILDREN! Joshua Henry conducting. What a forearm! Me getting my eyebrows threaded at Pinky's. Eyebrow maintanance is a must, people. Myself, Phillip Boykin and Wilkie Ferguson in the men's room actin' a fool! Phillip going for a very high note... while Wilkie directs. NaTasha and myself lovin on each other. AMAZING DRESSERS. HANDS DOWN. David Alan Grier and I demonstrate our radiation-free handsets for the iPhone. We love fashion and technology. Our female swings, Sumayya and Carmen, looking fierce without a stitch of makeup! Heather Hill, beatin' that face. Trevon covering his tattoo before the evening show. Peppermint or chamomile? That is the question. Heather reading the Times. We're all very cultured. Roo and Wilkie with our fabulous male swings, Julius and David! Alicia Hall Moran rolling those thighs. The stairs here at the Richard Rodgers are not a joke. Cedric Neal eating. If it ain't a donut, it's a cupcake and if it ain't cupcake, it's pizza--pictured here! Where does it go?? Pre-show prayer Me getting my wig on! Norm doing a quick jig before his last entrance. A quick pic before the last entrance of the day. NaTasha between dramatic moments! Our signed playbills and posters for Broadway Cares... The stage door crowd! Me signing a Playbill. Goodnight, midtown. And back home for more cuddle time. Thanks for spending the day with us. Come visit <i>Porgy and Bess</i> at the Richard Rodgers Theatre!
