Christy counts on Bob to “support me in whatever I do, personally and professionally, and to be there when it counts.” That’s what best friends are for!

Christy hopes the duo will start a band called “The Bob and Christy Show," and Bob insists he would be perfectly content to play backup cowbell.

The childhood besties have a blast playing an old elementary school throwback: Candyland!

Need a monologue for an upcoming audition? According to Christy, theater brainiac Bob Lenzi is your man!

Although the twosome are friends to the end, Christy admits Bob’s “vast knowledge of theater” can be annoying…and Bob sometimes gets tired of Christy’s “perfectionist side.”

Bob admires Christy’s songwriting skills, noting that she "is just a comfortable playing her own music as she is acting on a Broadway stage."

Christy and Bob reenact their high school roles as Nellie and Emile in South Pacific.

Bravo! If their high school selves only knew they’d be acting on Broadway one day.

Snack break! Bob got over his stage fright (thanks to bestie Christy Altomare) and went on to appear in South Pacific on Broadway.

While Bob reminds Christy of Bradley Cooper, Bob thinks Christy’s “down-to-earth quality” is reminiscent of “Jennifer Garner or Anne Hathaway.”

The duo heads back to Christy’s midtown apartment for some popcorn and home movies. (That’s their high school production of South Pacific on the TV screen!)

Although they aren't a couple, Christy and Bob go together—just ask their friends, who call them “Sandy and Danny.”

These BFFs make the most of this brisk fall day by sipping Starbucks lattes in Times Square.

How does Bob describe Christy? “Dedicated, compassionate, just a little flighty (in the best way possible!)”

Although Christy thought Bob was “cute,” Bob didn’t even notice the Mamma Mia! star when they met in elementary school.

Christy Altomare and Bob Lenzi met in second grade—and now Altomare is starring in Mamma Mia! on Broadway!

It’s party time! Mamma Mia! stars (clockwise from l.) Graham Rowat, Felicia Finley, Judy McLane, Aaron Lazar, Dan Cooney, Lauren Cohn, Zak Resnick and Christy Altomare paint the town red in honor of the show’s 11th anniversary.

Like mother, like daughter—Judy McLane and Christy Altomare play Donna and Sophie, respectively, in the hit musical.

Adorable onstage pair Christy Altomare and Zak Resnick play a blushing bride and her groom-to-be in Mamma Mia!

Christy Altomare and Derek Klena played high school sweethearts in Carrie before moving on to the musicals Mamma Mia! and Dogfight, respectively.
