Saw Afra in Hadestown and she was a standout ensemble member. I couldn't take my eyes off of her on stage. She's great!

Amazing concept for a series, beautifully produced video and Afra is SO COOL

[@caitlinaronoff3836]

Saw her in Hadestown and she is so wonderful!! She completely lit up the stage, even in the workers chorus (also their choreo was GORGEOUS). She’s just a joy to watch and was so kind and thoughtful at the stage door after the show. Just a really genuine and good hearted gal!! 💕🌹

IN THE HEIGHTS

[@tessavannoort1814]

this truly seems like a perfect life but how do you earn money?

[@ericastevens614]

Tessa van Noort when you have a job actors equity will ensure a decent minimum wage

[@bd7852]

The minimum wage for Equity is a little more than $2,000 a week.

[@Mika-oi1se]

Become a newsie😂

[@itskarena6840]

Little late but at least I watched it

[@jamiekiki8979]

Its KARENA Same 😂

[@MoJohnnys]

"...it would feel, almost, pedestrian." 😂 Definition of pedestrian: "As an adjective it means "lacking wit or imagination." If someone calls your new poem pedestrian, they mean it's dull."

[@bhardie9508]

Ever seen the show? Perfect word for it...the workers are essentially mindless robots who have lost their identities to become obedient slaves. I think the choreography conveys it really well.

[@lalalallalalallalala]

SHES 35 WHAT I TOHUGHT SHE WAS LIKE 20
