\t\t<\/p>\n Lorde<\/strong><\/a> finally attended a performance of the Broadway play John Proctor is the Villain<\/em><\/strong> this weekend and her visit to the play is actually a really big deal.<\/p>\n For those who don\u2019t know, John Proctor is the Villain<\/em> is a new play on Broadway that received seven Tony nominations and has earned tons of acclaim, both from critics and fans. While Lorde <\/strong>doesn\u2019t actually appear in the play, one of her songs is used for an extremely important moment in the show.<\/p>\n Playwright Kimberly Belflower<\/strong> has previously opened up about how she wrote a heartfelt letter to Lorde <\/strong>to get permission to use \u201cGreen Light\u201d in the show. She has even said that she likely would have scrapped the entire play if Lorde <\/strong>said no!<\/p>\n Well, Lorde <\/strong>showed up to catch one of Sadie Sink<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s final performances in the play on Friday (July 11) at the Booth Theatre in New York City.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Kimberly <\/strong>wrote on Instagram<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019ve been working on John Proctor is the Villain<\/em> for seven years. From the very first draft, it ended in a dance and the dance was always always \u2018Green Light.\u2019 JPITV <\/em>simply doesn\u2019t work without that song.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cTo make the art I needed to make, I needed Lorde<\/strong>\u2019s art. Her art has transformed my spirit over and over again and given me names to feelings I didn\u2019t know how to articulate. Her art has been my teacher and my companion, in hard moments and glorious moments, in headphones on city streets, in cars on mountain back roads, in my very marrow. To share this play with her, to watch her hands dance in the air while her music blasts through the Booth Theatre, to look her in the eye and (attempt to) tell her what she means to me, to see her take such care with everyone who made this production, to hug her, to watch her stage door (!!!?!??) was maybe the most surreal and beautiful night in this entire surreal and beautiful journey,\u201d Kimberly added. \u201cI will never ever ever forget it or get over it. I love you, @lorde. I love you, @johnproctorbway. I love your perfect photos, @michaelah.jpg.\u201d<\/p>\n Lorde <\/strong>commented on the post, \u201cThank you for choosing me Kimberly I will remember last night forever \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f.\u201d<\/p>\n Sadie <\/strong>played her final performance in the play on July 13.
