Lydia
She is a talented actress with a passion for theater. She is determined, insecure, and hopeful. On the night of the Tony Awards, Lydia's dream comes true as she wins the award for Best Actress. Her longtime friend Trinity and her roommate Angela support her. She has a secret crush on her costar Jaxx, with whom she shares a tense yet captivating onscreen chemistry. Despite her fear of public speaking and past rejections, Lydia rises to the challenge, delivering a heartfelt acceptance speech.
Angela
She is Lydia's roommate and another close friend. She is energetic, optimistic, and caring. Angela shares a small apartment with Lydia and is always pushing Lydia to pursue her dreams. A fan of Lydia's work, Angela is thrilled to see Lydia win the Tony Award. Her lively presence adds a sense of excitement and celebration to the event, and she eagerly participates in the festivities following Lydia's victory.
Jaxx Owens
He is a renowned actor known for his charismatic onscreen presence. He is confident, ambitious, and enigmatic. As Lydia's costar in Just Cleo, Jaxx shares a complicated dynamic with her due to their onagain, offagain romantic tension. Despite being in a relationship with actress Jessica Reed, he continues to stir feelings in Lydia during the Tonys. His performance in the film earns him widespread acclaim, further complicating Lydia's feelings towards him.
"Break a leg, Lydia!"
That’s Trinity, my first and oldest best friend.
She’s talking to me but looking straight at the camera.
I can’t say I blame her.
After all, how many times in your life do you get to walk the red carpet at the Tonys do you get to walk the red carpet at the Tonys, right here in New York City?
"Break a leg, Lydia," says Angela, my roommate and other closest friend.
She’s also talking to me but looking at the camera.
I probably should be doing the same.
After all, this is what I’ve always dreamed of—becoming a famous actress, walking the red carpet, accepting awards.
But for some reason, it doesn’t feel as good as I thought it would.
Maybe it’s because I’m terrified of giving that speech if I win.
I hate public speaking.
Hate, hate, hate it.
And I’m not very good at it either.
I can act in front of a camera no problem, but put me on a stage in front of a crowd and have me try to give a real speech?
No thank you.
And maybe it’s because Jaxx is here and I have such a crush on him that I can hardly think straight.
Not that anything will ever happen between us.
He’s dating Jessica Reed and even if he weren’t, she would never let him go with me.
I force my attention away from Jaxx and Jessica, who are a few feet away from me, and draw strength from Trinity and Angela, who are standing on either side of me.
The camera flashes are blinding, but I remember what my acting coach told me about finding my light.
I shift my weight onto my right leg, tilt my chin down just a little bit, and let my shoulders relax.
The pose feels natural after all the years I’ve practiced it.
"Lydia! Lydia!"
A photographer calls my name and I turn to him, giving him the smile that I’ve perfected over the years—the one that shows just enough teeth to look genuine but not desperate.
Trinity squeezes my hand quickly, reminding me that this is my moment.
The announcer’s voice booms through the theater.
"And the nominees for Best Actress in a Musical are…"
He pauses, and my heart pounds so hard against my ribs that I’m sure it’s going to burst right out of my chest.
Trinity and Angela each hold one of my hands, and I squeeze them tightly.
I can feel their excitement and nerves radiating off them in waves.
"And the winner is…"
The spotlight sweeps across the audience, landing on me.
I squint, momentarily blinded by its brightness.
My gaze falls on Jaxx, who is sitting in the row in front of me, his arm draped casually over Jessica’s shoulders.
He gives me a small smile and I return it before looking away.
"And the Tony goes to… Lydia St. Clair!"
The room erupts into applause as my name echoes through the speakers.
Trinity screams beside me while Angela pulls me into a tight hug. "You did it!"
Trinity says, her voice filled with excitement.
I stand up slowly, smoothing down my emerald green gown with trembling hands.
"Go get 'em, Lydia," Angela whispers, her voice steady and reassuring.
I nod, but before I step away, Trinity leans in closer.
"Remember what we talked about—tell them the truth about why you almost quit last year."
I walk up the steps carefully, gripping the railing to steady my legs.
The spotlights are blinding, and I have to squint to see anything.
As I cross the stage, my heels click against the polished wood.
The presenter hands me the award—a heavy Tony statue with a gold finish that feels cool against my sweaty palms.
I make my way to the microphone, scanning the sea of faces until I find Trinity and Angela’s encouraging smiles.
My gaze accidentally locks with Jaxx’s for a moment, and Jessica’s scowl beside him makes my stomach twist into knots.
I adjust the microphone stand, trying not to fidget too much.
The feedback from the mic echoes through the theater, making me wince.
I grip the microphone stand to steady myself, the cool metal grounding me.
My prepared speech cards are still tucked safely in my clutch, but I don’t reach for them.
This moment demands something more raw and honest.
"Thank you," I begin, my voice wavering at first before finding its strength.
The words spill out naturally, as if they’ve been waiting inside me all along.
"I’m truly humbled to be standing here tonight, accepting this award. It’s a dream come true, and I can’t believe it’s finally happened."
I take a deep breath, letting the moment sink in.
"I want to thank everyone who has supported me on this journey. My parents, who are watching from home right now—thank you for believing in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. Angela, my manager, who has been with me every step of the way—your daily motivational texts kept me going even on the toughest days. And to the cast and crew of 'Echoes in the Night,' you became my family during those long rehearsals and performances. This award isn’t just mine; it belongs to all of us."
I pause for a moment, collecting my thoughts.
"And there was a night last year when I almost quit acting altogether. I remember crying on Trinity’s shoulder, feeling lost and uncertain about my future. But she reminded me why I started doing this in the first place—to tell stories that touch people’s hearts. So, thank you to Trinity for being my rock when I needed it most." The audience applauds again, their faces filled with genuine appreciation.
I continue speaking from the heart.
"I also want to acknowledge my fellow cast members who worked tirelessly alongside me. Your talent and dedication inspired me every day. And Jaxx…"
My voice catches slightly as I say his name.
Jessica’s scowl deepens beside him, but I push through the discomfort.
"Jaxx, your passion for your craft is contagious. Working with you was an honor."
The applause swells again, and I take a moment to breathe deeply.
My heart is racing, but I know I have to finish strong.
My hands tremble as I lift the golden Tony Award above my head, the weight of it threatening to slip from my grip.
The theater erupts in applause once more, and I watch in amazement as people rise from their seats row by row.
Trinity and Angela leap up first, tears streaming down their faces as they clap wildly.
Even Jaxx stands, beaming at me with genuine pride while Jessica remains seated, her arms crossed tightly over her chest.
The stage lights feel warmer now, less harsh, as I clutch the award to my chest.
Camera flashes burst around me like stars, capturing this moment forever.
The orchestra begins playing softly in the background, signaling that my time is up.
As I step back from the microphone, Jaxx catches my eye and mouths something that makes my heart skip.
"Meet me backstage," he says, his voice barely audible over the applause.
I nod slightly, feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety as I make my way off the stage, clutching the Tony tightly.
I weave through the bustling backstage area, the Tony Award clutched tightly in my hands as I dodge congratulatory hugs from crew members and fellow actors.
The weight of the golden statue against my chest reminds me that this isn’t a dream.
I follow the familiar shape of Jaxx’s shoulders ahead, his tall frame cutting through the crowd with ease.
As he ducks into a quiet alcove near the stage door, I quicken my pace, my heels clicking against the concrete floor.
The sounds of the ongoing ceremony fade into the background as I turn down a narrow service corridor, the stark contrast between its exposed pipes and bare lightbulbs and the glamorous theater beyond jarring.
When I round the corner, Jaxx stands alone, hands in his pockets, waiting.
"Congratulations," he says softly, his eyes meeting mine with an intensity that makes my heart race.
"Thank you," I reply, trying to steady my voice as I search his face for any hint of what he wants to say.
"I need to tell you something important," Jaxx continues, his voice low and earnest.
He leans against the concrete wall, running a hand through his perfectly styled hair.
"The director of 'Midnight's Edge' wants us both for the lead roles in his new Broadway show," he explains, his words spilling out with excitement.
My fingers tighten around the Tony Award, its weight suddenly heavier in my hands.
"His new show? But I thought he was working on a film project."
Jaxx shakes his head, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
"He changed his mind. He wants to create something special for Broadway, and he believes we’re the perfect pair to bring it to life."
I feel a flutter in my chest at the prospect of working with Jaxx again, but I need more information.
"What’s the show about?"
I ask cautiously.
"It’s a dark romance," Jaxx replies, his eyes lighting up with enthusiasm.
"The story follows two characters who find themselves entangled in a dangerous love affair that threatens to consume them both. It’s intense, passionate, and raw."
The idea sends a shiver down my spine.
"It sounds…intriguing," I admit, my curiosity piqued.
Jaxx nods vigorously, his excitement palpable.
"And the best part is that we’ll have months of rehearsals together before opening night. We’ll get to dive deep into our characters and explore the chemistry between them." The thought of spending months rehearsing with Jaxx sends a rush of anticipation through me.
It would be an opportunity to tap into our undeniable connection and create something truly special on stage.
But there’s still one major hurdle to overcome: Jessica.
"What about Jessica?" I ask hesitantly, knowing that she had been eyeing the female lead role for herself.
Jaxx shrugs dismissively.
"She passed on it. Said she wasn’t interested in doing another Broadway show right now."
I’m taken aback by her decision, but also relieved that it opens up the possibility for me to take on the role.
"So, what do you say?" Jaxx asks, stepping closer to me in the narrow corridor.
"Are you ready to take on this challenge with me?"
I can feel the heat radiating from him as our shoulders touch, sending shivers down my spine.
"I…I need to read the script first," I stammer, trying to maintain some semblance of control over my racing thoughts.
Jaxx pulls out his phone from his pocket and scrolls through it before handing it to me.
"Here, I've got the first act saved," he says, his voice filled with anticipation.
I take the phone, our fingers brushing briefly, and feel a jolt of electricity at the contact.
"Alright, let me see what we're getting into," I reply, my heart pounding as I begin to read.
I lean against the concrete wall, scrolling through the script on Jaxx’s phone.
The story grips me from the opening scene – a forbidden romance between two performers from rival families, forced to work together on a high-stakes project.
As I read, my fingers tremble slightly, acutely aware of Jaxx’s presence beside me in the narrow corridor.
The stage directions call for intimate moments between the characters, and I can feel my cheeks flushing with each passing page.
When I finally reach the end of the first act, I look up to find Jaxx watching me intently.
The tension between us is palpable, and I know that I’m in.
I hand his phone back to him, my voice barely above a whisper.
"I’m in," I say, my heart pounding in my chest.
Jaxx breaks into a wide smile, relief washing over his features.
He reaches out, taking my hand in his and giving it a firm shake.
"Welcome to the team," he says, his voice filled with genuine enthusiasm.
As I pull my hand back, my palm tingles from his touch.
I adjust my grip on the Tony Award, its weight heavy in my other hand.
"Now, let’s go meet the director," Jaxx says, leading me through the maze-like hallways behind the theater.
We navigate through the winding corridors, passing by dressing rooms and technical areas until we reach a service elevator.
Jaxx presses the button for the executive floor, and we step inside.
As the doors close, I catch a whiff of his cologne – a subtle blend of cedarwood and musk that sends a shiver down my spine.
The elevator hums softly as it ascends, and Jaxx turns to me with a thoughtful expression.
"There's something else you should know before we meet him," he says, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
"The director has a reputation for being... unconventional in his methods, so be prepared for anything."
