Get to Know the Robe Recipients

"The Legacy Robe means history to me. It means the resilience of the chorus and ensemble members. It means the years of training we go through to be at the very top of what we do!"

"Every show that I book, I just assume it will be the last show I ever book. It always feels like a brand new experience, and even more exciting than the last. Especially for my ninth Broadway show."

"The Robe ceremony is also a way to bring back, hold and honor those who came before us; many of whom we lost to the AIDS epidemic in the 80's and 90's. To look around and see previous recipients who are my nearest and dearest friends was quite emotional."

"Right now in my life, the Legacy Robe, to me, means celebrating all those moms in the chorus who are working their butts off to keep shows running and thriving while also working their butts off at home to make sure their families are thriving."

"To be awarded the Legacy Robe in my opinion says a great deal about a person. I have always personally regarded the castmate gifted the Legacy Robe in high esteem... It tells me that they are not only talented, but a delight to work with since they have been hired over and over again, disciplined, hardworking and passionate about what they do."

"I have dreamt of being a Broadway ensemblist since I was a little boy... To be able to share this moment with this cast, crew and creative team is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Little Kyle would be so proud."

"To me, the Legacy Robe symbolizes a lineage of people just like me, who put their blood, sweat and tears, their hopes and joys and love into this crazy thing we do on Broadway."

"The Legacy Robe ceremony was a favorite opening night moment for so many of our ensemble making their Broadway debut. I look forward to attending some of their opening nights in the future when they don the Robe and keep the tradition alive and well!"

"I felt acknowledged for all of my hard work within the Broadway community. I never thought it would happen to me."

"To me, the Legacy Robe symbolizes the hard work that it takes from each and every person involved in putting up a Broadway show. We all support one another and come together to make that magic happen night after night."
