About a month ago, Khori Petinaud joined us again as part of our 'Returning Reborn' series, sharing her ongoing journey of discovery as a new mom, and her overwhelming anticipation of returning to work in Moulin Rouge. When Broadway shuttered, she wasn’t even pregnant and when she walked back on stage at the Al Hirschfeld theater, she had a 9 month old. She prepped for the reopening with classes and working out, but most importantly with grace and compassion for herself, as she knows she is not the same person that took a bow in March 2020.
