A few weeks ago, I did a show at @atthemac, when I had a surprise, and incredibly cute visitor run out on stage to say hello to me. I traveled in that day for the show, and hadn’t seen much or enough of her. She asked her dad if she could come out and see me, and then proceeded to steal the show…and anything that was left of my heart.
I asked her if she wanted to stay while I sang the next song which happened to be #WhenSheLovedMe (@randynewmanofficial, #ToyStory). It is now a moment that will stay sheltered in my mind and heart forever. A friend, who was there, snuck this picture and sent this to me, reminding me how much I love and miss her and our sons, and their amazing daddy…and just how blessed I am to be theirs.

So, what does Heather do when the sun goes down?
I become a witch!! Kind of 😉!
It’s been a pleasure, but more so, to tackle this with this cast, crew, and musicians, FOR these amazing people we call our audiences.
Thanks to you all!

I had a flight right after the final show in New York on Sunday. Weather and crew issues caused my son and me to sit in the airport for 6hrs before my flight finally took off after midnight.
As tired and frustrated as I was, It was tolerable, because I had that time to decompress and reflect on what happened just a few hours. Days. Weeks…Before.
Less than a month ago, I walked into a rehearsal room at The City Center and sat with a group of masked super-artists I had never met or worked with before.
About 10 days later we opened.
About 10 days after that we closed.
(All a part of the plan…😉)
But what happened in the middle was such beauty and magic…it will always #staywithme.
It wasn’t easy, but it was amazing. Thanks to all of you who came to see us, loved on us, in your absence sent your love to us, our show, and the artistry of Sondheim.
Every time I come to NYC, I am reminded of the gift we have to be patrons and/or performers of the theater.
We wanted to give you the best of us…”to ask more would be selfish, but nothing less would do”😉…and we hope you felt it!
My sincere Thanks again…to one of the best casts (on and off stage) I’ve ever had the privilege to work with (and I’ve worked with the best of them…)…we came in as strangers and left as a family in these #woods.
And thanks to all of you…from my heart.
I’ll let the moment go, but I won’t forget it for a moment though…😉!
With love and gratitude,
Heather

It’s a happy-ish #sunday. I must admit that I miss my little family. I was hoping to see them and hug them for a few hours today, but it didn’t work out. But God knows best, and protected us all from some ugly weather.
‘Can’t wait to see them 😉! In the meantime, I’m doing laundry, learning lines and lyrics, and missing them…like crazy!
(Who knows this song?!)
It’s still a #HAPPYSUNDAY!
Thanks for the music #nataliecole

I have a ‘special’ cupboard where I keep most of the scripts from the shows I’ve done. Well, I just went to it to look for a certain old script that I need to start working on…and came across this!!
My #Aida script!
Goodness!
The memories.
The notes. The rewrites. The corrections. All my thoughts.
I’m actually smiling at that ‘younger Heather’! ‘So happy…so very happy that she took it seriously and did the work necessary. ‘So grateful that the ‘older Heather’ can look through this, and see how the younger girl’s ‘work’ changed and blessed our journey.
🎵who’d have thought a love could be so good…#notme🎶

#Alexa seems to respond when I’m not even talking to her…so, why can’t she help with this 🤷🏽♀️!

I had a long day of #press interviews today, but it was made easier by great (and really kind) people, fun conversations, and a good, full water canteen (@riflepaperco). With those three…I can do ‘almost’ anything 😄!
#happyfriday, and have a beautiful #weekend!
(#stpatricksday it’s not easy being #green ☘️!)
#happysunday!
I fell in love this week…with hardworking and kind people…and their food…and their beautiful country. God met me there…with every breech of a whale, and every playful seal, and every grain of gold shimmering sand, and every perfectly blue sky, and every beautiful flower, and each smiling ‘Hola’! #Cabo
Less than two weeks ago, I entered a rehearsal room with some of the best performers of the theater.
Our task was this: learn, memorize, stage, costume, and then, with attending audiences, PERFORM well (the audacity …) Sondheim’s Into The Woods 10 (TEN!!) days later.
Quite the task! Quite the ask! But last night, that amazing group of people did just that!!
The audacity 😉!
Iron sharpens iron. And I’m so blessed to be around such formidable metal!
It hasn’t been easy. The days have been long. Even longer because I’m not near my family, but I’m so happy that I have this opportunity, this privilege to share these moments in the woods with THIS cast, and with the city of New York.
I wouldn’t go Into The Woods with any other group. And every witch needs to be in a good group…
agreed…?
AGREED😉!

Repost from @atthemac:
“I grew up in the church. In the church. Our house was above the church…Every day, I’d get in there, and take a microphone or a brush, or whatever I could find…I would go in there and close all the windows and sweat, because it was Trinidad, and sing for hours to the empty pews. It was years later that my husband, Brian, said, ‘No, you had an audience, it was the angels.’” – @heatherheadley to the Northwestern School of Communication
Come watch Heather Headley’s amazing artistry Sunday, Apr. 3 at 4p! Get your tickets at atthemac.org.
