The Things that 'Fairview''s Lyndsay Allyn Cox Can't Perform Without

One of the beating hearts of Boston's vibrant theater scene, actor-director Lyndsay Allyn Cox is currently giving another excellent performance in SpeakEasy Stage's unmissable "Fairview." From makeup to the thing that almost made her miss an entrance, here are the things she can't perform without.

SoulCycle

"Squeezing in a workout on show days isn't always easy. Thankfully, SoulCycle has perfected the art of the 45-minute workout/therapy session. No two-show-day is complete without a pre-matinee ride at SOUL BKBY with Allie H. Favorite way to ride: Out of the saddle, tons of resistance, to the top of that first hill." Book at SoulCycle.

"My Favorite Murder"

"Everyone has their pre-show routine. I like to 'stay sexy and not get murdered' by throwing in my airpods and turning on an episode of My Favorite Murder podcast. Georgia and Karen are the perfect accompaniment to my show prep, and their 'minisodes' clock in under 30 minutes, giving me just the right amount of time needed to get to places on time." Listen at My Favorite Murder.

Altoids

"I am literally obsessed with these. But don't come at me with cinnamon or spearmint flavored. I like to keep it traditional with a tin of peppermint Altoids. I worked on a show once where I literally shoved two in my mouth before each and every one of my entrances. Addicted? Potentially." $2.79, Target.

Real Purity Roll-On Deodorant

"Those stage lights are hot, and most costumes aren't exactly breathable. I do the wardrobe team a solid by trying my best not to be a smelly mess by the end of the night. Real Purity is the Queen of natural deodorants. It works. I swear." $12.99, Real Purity.

Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear 24H Foundation

"This. Foundation. Hits. It is the best foundation around for performers. I've been wearing it for years, and it has not failed me once. It was recommended to me by a professional dancer, and I haven't gone back. I could sweat my ass off and still arrive at curtain call with a flawless face." $28.50, Lancome.

Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner

"Did I mention how well that Lancome foundation works? It works so well that I have to call in back up to make sure my skin stays in tip top shape. I don't wear a ton of makeup on a daily basis so during shows my skin needs a little extra love. This old school toner does the trick!" $10.95, Thayers.

Blume Meltdown

"Makeup, and the added stress of performing 6 nights a week, can do a number on my skin. This acne-fighting oil is a miracle product. It's the perfect product to layer on right before bed (but after those post-show drinks)." $48, Blume.

Peace Out Acne Dots

"Did I mention acne? It's inevitable that moments before a big self-tape audition a pesky pimple will try to make an unwanted appearance. These little dots do God's work in 6 hours." $19, Peace Out Skincare.

Yeti 36 oz Water Bottle

"Performing can feel like a full body workout. I stay hydrated with my Yeti! I never leave home without it. This water bottle holds enough water to get through an entire show and then some, and I love it! It keeps my water nice and cold and doesn't spill or leak in my bag." $50, Yeti.

Candy Crush

"Have I almost missed an entrance playing Candy Crush? Maybe. Do I still love it? Absolutely." Download from Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon AppStore, Microsoft, and Facebook.

"Fairview" runs through Mar. 11 at SpeakEasy Stage. Tickets available here.
