She made it clear that this isn’t the end: “This is the end of an incredible chapter in our lives, but definitely not the end of our friendship! And don’t forget, I’ll still be in coach mode when Val and I choreograph your first dance with @kelseyanderson 🤗.”

To the entire cast and crew, she added, “You all are rockstars!! 88 shows in 4 months is insane. It’s always a privilege to share the stage with you.” She ended with, “My heart is full and my tears are flowing while writing this in my hotel room lol. Forever grateful 🫶🏼.”
