She wasn’t expecting a magic carpet ride.
Mikayla Renfrow, who understudies Princess Jasmine in Broadway’s “Aladdin,” revealed she was helicoptered to the Recent Amsterdam Theater after being called in last minute while on a Delta Airlines flight from Europe.
“Mikayla… please send an updated eta when you may. I might have you for Jasmine tonight,” read a text message from the “Aladdin” stage manager that Renfrow shared on TikTok last week.
In accordance with the video, Renfrow “had 4 more hours to go, and could be landing around 5 pm — which gave me no time for me to make the show for half-hour call.”
Renfrow, 24, told People that she was imagined to have arrived at JFK airport the next morning to tackle the ensemble role that night. But her flight was delayed, and her performance was pushed back one other day.
“I believe my brain just immediately began going through every option that I knew was possible at that time,” she told the publication.
In accordance with her TikTok — which has landed 945,000 views — Renfrow asked the Delta flight attendant if she might be the primary to disembark.
She had no idea how far the airline would go to assist her.
“Never in one million years did I believe what they’d in store was what the plan was going to be,” gushed Renfrow.
In accordance with the panic-stricken actress, the flight attendant managed to maneuver her as much as first-class, so she could get a meal and sleep before happening stage.
“My first instinct was to only put my earphones on and hearken to the music, in order that I could run through the mental story that I needed as an actor,” she shared.
Renfrow shared that the pilot got here out of the cockpit to inform her that her only real option was to make use of a helicopter to scale back the 2-hour drive from the airport to 7 minutes.
“He would do all the pieces in his power to get me there on time,” explained Renfrow, adding that the pilot even requested a gate change so the plane could be closer to customs.
Upon landing, Renfrow revealed that a Delta agent had expedited her through customs just for her to almost miss her Uber Blade.
“I ended up being 1 minute late, but Blade waited for me knowing this was my last try at making it for the show. They saved me,” wrote Renfrow, who had been keeping your complete “Aladdin” company updated on her progress.
The Post reached out to Delta and Renfrow for comment.
After landing in Hudson Yards, the Broadway actress was forced to dash for the train — luckily she made it to the show on time.
“I made it … because of Delta & Blade championing me through,” concluded Renfrow, adding that in a surprise twist, Delta flight supervisor Leicha Richardson was in a position to attend.
“Hearing her cheer me on from the moment I stepped out just carried me through the entire thing,” cried Renfrow. “In order that show was for her. She helped me through that whole journey, even to the theater at the tip of the night.”
