Click through to read about (and follow) some of our favorite people on Twitter and Instagram. After all, what would an awards show or NBC live musical event be without inevitable live-tweeting?
What Do You Get? Laura's daily musings and observations filter through her very funny comic sensibilities, on any and every topic from fanny packs to "Nashville." She's so funny that Patty & Emily's podcast "Listen" features a weekly segment called "Laura Benanti Tweet of the Week." Plus, we love the tweets about her mom, who she so casually refers to as #Linda.

Good news: I did NOT just eat half a jar of peanut butter, throw the rest away and then fish it out of the trash. Bad news: I'm a liar.
What Do You Get? Audra's feed is an eclectic mix of humor, politics (her takedown of Governor Pence went viral) and current events as fascinating as the Tony winner herself.

@GovPenceIN Some in my band are gay & we have 2 gigs in your state next month. Should we call ahead to make sure the hotel accepts us all?
What Do You Get? Lin-Manuel gives access to his writing process, backstage selfies, rap rhymes, conversations with "Groffsauce" (Jonathan Groff) and an obsession with Jean Valjean.

"Did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine--" Yes. Have realistic expectations. AND the wildest dreams. You can have both. Gmorning.
What Do You Get? One of the Broadway pioneers of social media, AKB (as he is commonly referred to) offers his followers a mix of photos, videos, humor and more. AKB also created (with Max von Essen) the Saturday Intermission Pic (#SIP), a weekly staple of the theatre community on Broadway and beyond.

At a gay kickball tournament in DC. Some team names: Kick Ball-change, The First Ladies, You’re Basic, Pink Tacos, You Can’t Kick With Us
What Do You Get? Self-proclaimed "string cheese enthusiast," Chelsea's feed runs from humor to a slight obsession with Jessica Chastain obsession. She also shares a lot of photos from behind the scenes of Broadway's hottest shows and red carpets. To be honest, she's one of the funniest gals on Twitter. (High praise, Nachman!)
