The Gypsy Robe

Yesterday, Jordyn was lucky enough to join the Actors’ Equity Association for the Gypsy Robe ceremony at Carousel on Broadway. 

The Gypsy Robe is a 60 plus-year-old tradition in which the chorus member who has worked the most Broadway choruses receives a robe on opening night. Each new recipient puts on the Robe and circles the stage 3 times, while cast members reach out and touch the Robe for good luck. The Robe, worn by the new recipient, then visits each dressing room in the theatre.

You can learn more about the history of the robe, and see more pictures from yesterday, over at our Patreon blog.
