For most of my life, I have loved the performing arts, particularly theater. One of the first musicals I ever admired was The Phantom of the Opera, which a friend introduced me to in the 7th grade. As soon as I watched it, I knew that I needed to experience it live on stage. Fortunately, after lots of begging and pleading, I convinced my mother to take me to New York to see it on Broadway during the summer of 2014.
Starring in the production at that time were two of my theater idols: Norm Lewis and Sierra Boggess, and needless to say I was beyond ecstatic to see them. Before I left for New York, I talked to some of my friends who had seen Broadway shows before, and they taught me about "stage-dooring;" going to the back door of the theater
