Good morning on this crisp and sunny Friday.

BroadwayCon kicks off today. Cue the happy tears.

The annual madhouse at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan welcomes thousands of giddy theater enthusiasts from New York, small towns and across the world — as our hometown industry has gone global.

It’s a chance for Hamilfans to belt out “My Shot” en masse, aspiring stage moms to take in panels on “Parenting in the Theater,” and young men to catwalk across the convention floor in knee-high, ruby red Kinky Boots.

But what’s it like for the performers to spend the weekend among a crush of adoring fans?

Fascinating and a little strange, said Lesli Margherita, who played Mrs. Wormwood in “Matilda the Musical” — especially when you see someone dressed up as real-life you.

“Like, I’ve seen some really good Mrs. Wormwoods,” she said. “But I have also seen me as well.”

At her first BrodwayCon in 2016, she met one fan dressed as her Jack Russell terrier, Stewie, and another in workout wear with a piece of wood taped to her leg — a nod to when Ms. Margherita hurt herself doing a jump split onto a broken wood panel onstage in 2014.
