Eleven-year-old Sarah Charles Lewis is getting ready to make her Broadway debut as Winnie Foster in the new musical Tuck Everlasting, beginning performances at the Broadhurst Theatre on March 31. Now in her final weeks of rehearsal, Lewis snapped some photos during a typical day on the job, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at life for a young star on the Great White Way. Follow her from the breakfast table, through the rehearsal room, all the way to the audience of Wicked, where she soaks in one of her last free nights before the eight-show-a-week schedule kicks into high gear.
