“I’m so lucky that I get to do this when there are people all over the world whose dream this is, and I get to be here one night because I was on this reality TV show,” Joan told Cosmo. “I’m also incredibly excited and a little nervous! I don’t usually get very nervous, but this is maybe one of the scariest things I’ve ever done.”
“BEST DAY EVER”
As the performance drew to a close, the entire company gathered on stage for a bow. Michael James Scott, who has become legendary for his performance as Genie in the show, asked Vassos if she would “accept these roses” before presenting her with a grandiose bouquet.
