And that is why a Broadway star earns EVERY SINGLE PENNY of their salary! Yes, they have help from experts but there is still so much featured actors have to do to prepare and to run the show. Bravo/Brava Billy Porter, you are amazing. I'd be worn out after 2 performance; imagine doing this 6 and 7 times per week.
