    It breaks my heart to think Jonathan was suffering at this time from being in the closet, even to his castmates (he's said he felt like he was suffocating). Especially since it's so clear that they loved him and would have accepted him.
    A lesson to people not out yet: friends who love you will support you!

      In his mind he was in the closet, cause its sooooo obvious hes gay. No straight man names a key and then not only that but names it Kate. My best friend swore he was in the closet with his family but in reality they had known for over a decade

      Maybe she won tickets? Maybe she's a great student and it's some sort of reward? Maybe she does odd side jobs like babysitting or dog walking JUST to make enough to go to the show? Maybe she sneaks in? Lol. ...maybe she has a dream for acting that her parents are well aware of and they support her by working a few extra hours a week so they can send her daughter and a friend to the show.
      Whatever the reason, at least she's staying out of trouble. I'd gladly give my daughter the opportunity to go to the theater over doing the stupid shit kids do these days.
