Japrilis alive and well!Sarah Drewshowed up to support her formerGrey’s AnatomycostarJesse Williamson Broadway and raved about his performances inTake Me Out.
Drew shared a selfie of herself and Williams viaInstagrampost early Wednesday, along with a shot of her posing with one of the show’s promotional posters featuring her onscreen love.
“Got to see this guy shine in his Tony nominated broadway debut last night on my way home from Canada!” she captioned the photo post. “What a show! What a performance!”
The show follows Williams' character Darren Lemming, in the wake of his coming-out as gay to his pro baseball teammates. “I laughed and cried,” wrote Drew, 41. “It was moving and hilarious and heart wrenching. It was all the things.”
Drew personally applauded Williams, 40, as well as the rest of the ensemble: “@ijessewilliamsgives a stunning performance along side a brilliant cast. [Jesse Tyler Ferguson] brought me to joyous tears several times. If you haven’t seen#takemeoutyet- GO! See it before it closes. You won’t regret it!!”

During his run on Broadway, Williams has found himself at the center of an unwanted theater controversy.
In May, one theatergoerleaked a videoof Williams' nude scene from the play without the consent of anyone involved withTake Me Out.
He added that “we do need to keep advocating for ourselves. And it’s wonderful to see a community push back and make clear what we do stand for, what we don’t.”
“Theater is a sacred space,” he said, “and everybody doesn’t understand that. Everybody doesn’t necessarily respect or regard that in a way that maybe they should, or we’d like.”
Grey’s Anatomy’s 18th season finale airs May 26 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC ahead ofTake Me Outclosing its Broadway run on June 11.
