Broadway stars... they're just like us! When some of our favorite performers aren't onstage, they're at home, cuddling up with their beloved pets. In this edition of Broadway Pets, watch as Chicago star Kristen Faith Oei tell us all about her foster-fail, Easter.
What's life like as a Broadway performer/pet parent? "[Easter] came to me at a time when I never knew I would need her the most," she explained. "I lost my dad last year and she was such a comfort in a time when I needed to lean on her just as much as she ended up being able to lean on me as her new adoptive mom. I'm so grateful for this little gift!"
Oei has appeared in the original Broadway casts of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark (u/s Mary Jane), King Kong, Diana, The King and I, and M Butterfly. Original Tours/faves: Wicked, Aida (u/s Amneris), We Will Rock You, Soft Power, Kung Fu, Hercules (Hera), West Side Story, Fame.
