Tracie Thoms Instagram – Ok… 21. Or maybe a few months into 22. (More likely the latter. My first year at Juilliard, which is why I was in NY.) I’d played Sheila in “HAIR!” earlier that year at @studiotheatre. We were nominated for a few #helenhayesawards including Best Regional Musical (we WON!) and I was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Musical (I lost to the amazing @lizthelarsen❤️.) And my friend, our Jeanie, @nellmooney and I raided my cousin @mariposa327’s closet (she was rightfully pissed at me for it) for some hippie clothes, and we walked around Greenwich Village taking “tribe” pictures for our cast, still relishing in the memories of that magical production. This one was always a favorite that Nell took. Feels like a lifetime ago… But still at the front of my mind. 🎶 Let The Sun Shine! 🎶 🌞
