Tommy Dorfman is in the middle of a two-show day.
The actress had recently completed a matinee when we meet at a bright and bustling coffee and tea shop across the street from the Circle in the Square Theatre in New York City where she's playing the dual roles of both the Nurse and Tybalt in the buzzy Broadway revival of Romeo + Juliet. The spot—which sells elaborate drinks and Chinese-French fusion pastries, some in the shape of Powerpuff Girls—is a favorite of the cast; so much so that Dorfman bought her colleagues gift cards from there as an opening night present, which she is picking up when we visit that Wednesday afternoon.
