On Aug. 1, Playbill caught up with
Ariana DeBose as she prepared for the opening night of
Bring It On: The Musical — her first on Broadway. For part two of her journey, DeBose took a video camera backstage to film the opening night rituals, including gift-giving, the warm-up cheer call and the Gypsy Robe Ceremony, and capture the energy and emotions of 32 Equity members making their Broadway debuts. After the curtain call, we met with DeBose and her castmates to capture their post-show feelings. To view part one of
