Murder, Milestones and Madonna! Spend a Two-Show Day With Brittany Vicars at 39 Steps

You may wonder, “What is a nosie?” Well, it’s a beautiful gift that everyone receives when they
come to <i>39 Steps</i>! We don’t use the nosies in the show, but it's a special reminder to us that any one with enough joy and laughter can be a clown at the theatre, and hopefully as an artist and citizen in the world. So I wake up with my noise, wrapped in my beautiful knit blanket that was made for me by my nan! — You may wonder, “What is a nosie?” Well, it’s a beautiful gift that everyone receives when they come to *39 Steps*!

This is the set up at my apartment. My roommate Wyatt Manobla got the mannequins on the street- #newyork - and is a collector of all things, we have six typewriters, fake foliage, and one beautiful spiral staircase. The chalkboard has one of our favorite quotes by Churchill. <br><br>

“Don’t take no for an answer, never submit to failure. <br>
Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. <br>
You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous, and true,<br>
and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her.<br>
She was made to be won and wooed by YOUTH.”<br><br>

And yes, I have a not so secret desire to play Winston Churchill in a biopic… #onebritatatime — This is the set up at my apartment.

Here we are at the other end of the rabbit hole! I’ve come downstairs to see the decorations for the Madonna party I’m throwing for PRIDE, oh wait… that's just a day dream- I’ll have to come back and do this between shows! eee! Brittany Vicars

After waking up, I get dressed and walk to Bikram Yoga Harlem and get to practicing my upside-down standing toe pose. #yogaforbreakfast. I’m an actress and a bat. Brittany Vicars

After sweating and stretching I pick up a sweet matcha green tea lemonade at the Chipped Cup. mmm, so good, and now I’m ready to travel to the playhouse! (Go see "Jurassic World," we went as a cast a couple weeks ago, truly an experience. ) Brittany Vicars

I travel through two of the biggest and (in the summer) most crowded subway stations in NYC, with my actor hat- 42nd Street Time Square #askmeaboutmyactorhat Brittany Vicars

And 14th Street. I can smell the nosies from here! Brittany Vicars

And my favorite part of working in Union Square, is that three times a week the farmers market arrives! And I ran into this beautiful chicken, who has three friends living at our theatre. :) And this dog, who has his nosie on. Brittany Vicars

And I stopped to smell this Denver Daisy, because I’m from Denver and Colorado is the best place on earth. Brittany Vicars

The cast of 39 Steps features original Broadway cast member Arnie Burton as Clown #2, as well as Billy Carter as Clown #1, Broadway vet Robert Petkoff as the dashing hero Richard Hannay and Brittany Vicars as Pamela/Annabella/Margaret in her New York City stage debut.

The creative team includes Tony-nominated author Patrick Barlow, Tony-nominated director Maria Aitken, Tony-winning lighting designer Kevin Adams, Tony-winning sound designer Mic Pool and Tony-nominated scenic and costume designer Peter McKintosh. "39 Steps is a joyful and anarchic experience for all concerned – I'm delighted to return to it – and there's a particular pleasure in making theatrical magic without trillion dollar sets!" said director Aitken in an earlier statement.

Binder Casting cast the production, featuring general management by Roy Gabay Productions and Daniel Kuney.

39 Steps, according to press notes, "is a comedic spoof of the classic 1935 film, with only 4 “insanely talented” actors portraying more than 150 characters, sometimes changing roles in the blink of an eye. The brilliantly madcap story follows our dashing hero Richard Hannay as he races to solve the mystery of The 39 Steps, all the while trying to clear his name. The show’s uproarious fast-paced 100 minutes promises to leave you gasping for breath… in a good way! It’s fun for everyone from 9 to 99."

The 39 Steps (which has now dropped the "The" from its title) received its American premiere at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston prior to opening on Broadway in 2008 at the American Airlines Theatre. It transferred to the Cort Theatre and then to the Helen Hayes Theatre before closing in January 2010. After closing on Broadway, the work moved to New World Stages, where it played through January 2011.
