Luca Padovan spends his nights on Broadway at The Winter Garden Theatre in School of Rock and is currently in rehearsals for NYMF’s Still Ready: Rob Rokicki In Concert during the day.
Follow him through his double-duty day.
Good morning everyone! I'm ready to take you along as I start my day
Even though I'm still half asleep, I still need breakfast. It's a lucky kind of day.
Now that I've washed my face and brushed my teeth, I am fully awake! Time to start the day!
Lucky me! I got a seat on the train. Time to play Injustice!
Today I have PT before the show. Jennifer is working on my legs so they don't fall off on stage! This is a perfect time to play some Pokémon.
The best part of PT is icing at the end. Ah!
Quick stop to have one of my favorites before heading to the theater.
Sorry, I lied. I had to get my caffeine kick..Starbucks is bae.
Look who I found at Starbucks today! It's Sofia! What a surprise! Just kidding, I can always find and SOR kid here!
I still can't believe I get to play in there everyday! Pinch me, please!
Here we are outside of stage door. The SOR kids gather there a few minutes before our call time. It also gives the parents a chance to catch up. Quick hugs and kisses to our parents and off we go!
Having fun at our company warm-up! The gang's all here!
Our hair department is magical. This is how I show up before showtime. I call this Pre-Billy Hair!
Now that my hair is done, I have to drink my tea and stream. I do this before every show because it helps me keeps voice healthy and active.
At the top of the show, Sierra has a special ritual for us. She invites us to her room to choose an inspirational word to focus on for the show! My word was Courage!
Stage Right Squad is about to go on stage for the Alma Mater!
Here we are, about to go on stage for Stick It to the Man! For a big number like that, we have to stay hydrated!
Act 1 just finished! Now it's time for an intermission snack. Today's special, Skinny Pop Popcorn!
The Demon Rascals of Horace Green are ready to rock! We are about to perform Teacher's Pet!
We love meeting you guys after every performance! You guys rock! BTW, if you look at the bus in the background, it says Point of View. This photo is my point of view each time we leave the theater! Mind=BLOWN!
Next, I went to a NYMF rehearsal with the amazing Rob Rokicki! I am singing Reluctantly about a misunderstood dragon named Dave and can't wait!All of Rob's music is so good. His concert is going to rock!
After rehearsal, Rob's cat, Madison, wanted to get into the photo. She's totally thowing rock horns...or at least thinking it.
After rehearsal its time to refuel. Chipotle is delicious.
It's time to go to sleep, but not before I get to snuggle with my frenchie, Stella while I get caught up on my tv shows. Sweet dreams everyone! Thanks for hanging with me!
