Upon reflection, despite the nerves and jitters, DeBose would love to do it again and has “the greatest respect” for the people who put it all together.
She said: “I loved it. On a scale of one to 10, it was a 20. I mean, don’t get me wrong, the first three days, I wanted to actually run and hide. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But then the last 48 hours were just sheer joy and I have the greatest respect for all of those folks, not just the actors, everyone who actually makes the show happen and I sincerely hope I get to go back.”
Due to the hectic preparation, DeBose didn’t “have time” to be nervous or even let the thought float through her brain.
She said: “You don’t have time to think, let alone read or know your own name. You just gotta keep going one foot in front of the other until you finish the show on Saturday. Or actually at that point, it’s Sunday.”
