Good morning, Queendom.
So today, Ms. Brittney Mack and I
are getting our ear impressions done
for our custom in-ear monitors.
I don't know if you guys know or not
but we wear these IEMs as they are called,
in the show because we get a lot of our cues
from the band, from Joan, through our inner ears.
So we're here at the audiologist
to get some foam injected in our ears.
I just got mine done
but we're gonna show you Ms. Brittney's.
Here we go.
Is inserting the small--
- What's weird is that feels really good.
- A lot of people say that. - [Abby] It does?
- It's terrible.
- [Abby] I thought I was like ew.
It felt like it was poking my brain.
- Oh my God it feels so good. - [Abby] She likes it.
All right, that's good, listen.
- It's not so bad.
- Like a puppy.
- [Abby] Wellness.
(laughing)
This is Dr. Frankel.
- Hello. - [Abby] Say hello.
- [Abby] Hello. - Hello.
- [Abby] Thank you so much for doing this for us today.
- It's my pleasure.
- She's the best, she has a great smile.
- Oh thank you.
(laughing)
- [Dr. Frankel] Kind of strange sensation.
- [Abby] Delicious.
(laughing)
- [Dr. Frankel] Then we just press it in
to make sure we get it all.
- [Abby] Yas, Queen.
(laughing)

It went well. - We got it.
- It think it went well. - I think so.
- She said our ears were beautiful.
- Perfect actually.
- Oh yeah, Brit's were perfect.
- I got perfect, so.
- And she said our canals were skinny.
Not that that's the most important thing.
- It's not but--
- The most important thing is that our ear canals are smart.
- And clean.
- And kind.
But we're off to rehearsal.
- Bye! - See ya later man.

but do you know about our all-female stage management team?
Hi Christine!
- Hello!
- [Abby] Can you introduce yourself to Broadway.com?
- I am Christine Daly.
I am the Stage Manager for "Six"
and I'm just excited to be here.
- [Abby] Yes, can you tell us a little bit
about what a stage manager does?
- Stage manager does everything that needs to be done
to make the show happen.
- [Abby] Basically.
- So scheduling, making sure everybody's got what they need,
when we open, we're in charge of rehearsals after that,
making sure they happen,
making sure everybody gets everything they need
and they're ready to go on,
scheduling costume fittings,
make sure everyone's there every night,
and that the call board reflects what's happening that day
and everyone has the information they need.
We are like the CPU, the central processing unit
for the production.
- [Abby] The control boards.
- That's what we do.
- [Abby] Amazing.
Hi Rachel.

so everything that Christine just said
is what I help do and then Bonnie, who's running around,
is another part of our team.
But we're all on our computers a lot
but we are also paying attention 100% of the time.
- [Abby] Yeah, yeah, amazing.
Who run the world?
- Stage management.
- Girls.
Guess where we are?
Everyone's favorite elevator.
