Just before going on stage, Rumer posted a picture on Instagram from the dressing room, saying: “5 minutes till showtime”.
“I’m really excited. I’ve always wanted to be on Broadway, and to be able to do it in one of my favorite shows is so exciting”, she said. She had to put off her opening night twice due to a series of stress fractures in her right foot, reports the New York Daily News. So it was kind of driving me insane.
It’s great that she waited until she was 100% because she gave it all out on the stage.
When asked how long it’s been since she’s had her sights on Broadway, Willis revealed that it has been a fantasy since childhood.
She told Playbill.com Monday that there’s likely be a little celebration once the curtain comes down.
