Exclusive: Broadway Answers- What Do You Do After a Show to Wind Down?

What do I do after a show to wind down and relax

Wind down? People wind down? Ah, after a show. What do people do to unwind? I don't really know

To wind down after I'm working on a show. I choose doers

You know, I always like a good margarita, actually. Well, I really like a frozen margarita

Wine? A lot of wine. Maybe a little more than wine. It's not that complicated

It's a really cold glass of Pinot Grigio. It probably involves my couch, a snack, and probably like a glass of wine

To chill out, I'm a Jack and Coke guy. I like a 7 and 7

Usually it entails something cold to drink. We go out to a bar, we have a couple drinks

Sometimes I default to my vices. Well, something I shouldn't do is, you know, a lot of times you like to nibble

And that's the worst time to eat after a show. Also a lot of ice cream

Always, well, that's just life. Life involves a lot of ice cream for me

It's just who I am. Ice cream. That's my go-to thing. Actually, I don't care what time it is. I'll do that any time of day

I would love for someone to tell me what that is. I don't know what to do to wind down is

I love going to the beach. I'm really looking forward to August. I'm taking some time off in August

I'm going to go, like, just stare at the ocean. Hang out on the beach in Maui

Actually, what I like to do is go to the ocean, and that's the only place that I nap. So I like to stare at the ocean

I'm like, look, oh, it's so pretty. I read. Reading is good. I'm always reading something nonfiction

Usually, often it's about spiritual life or something to do with theology

Just hanging out with my family, with my kids, and getting to like goof off and relax You know I just go home to my family now It funny because with my son I kind of turned into a morning person against my will For me the answer is making records

Because I make records. So, do a show is stressful. Making records is relaxing

Oh, well, I studied with the June leader, so I warm down after a show

I stretch the other side of the show. Sometimes after the show, I'll go down to the Cultural Center in Union Square

and I'll chant and I'll meditate for a little while and that eases things out. Like a leisurely bike ride home is a good thing for me to unwind too

You have the adrenaline flowing, you know, so that doesn't really go away until like 3 a.m

So like I'm in my bed next to my wife, still humming the songs

and she's like, go to bed already! I usually watch some sort of trashy television

Usually I just put on the West Wing and like some ice cream, and I'm like, oh, everything's good with the world

I like to binge watch Game of Thrones. Throughout this whole pregnancy, I was watching Walking Dead

I was watching Law and Order Special Victims Unit. The blood and the guts and the intestines falling out of people's stomachs is really relaxing to me

My fiance was saying, I feel like we should maybe watch something that's not about rape or gore or people eating other people

I like to catch up on The Bachelorette. I think right now my DVR is full of Barefoot Contessa and Secrets of the Restaurant Chef

Oh, I've really been into Wavered Kind. Right now I'm obsessed with Halt and Catch Fire

I'm a big fan of Transparent. I got all the way through Orange is the New Black. You know, that's my chill-out time

It just makes me, let me turn my mind off. Usually I go home and go to bed. It's pretty boring, I know, but that's the truth

I mean, that sounds relaxing, right? Pretty boring. I would not say my life is wild

I would love to wind down. If someone has an idea or a suggestion on how to wind down, please let me know
