My son Nathan was really funny. Nathan, who 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.280 plays Francois, we were talking. I was like, hey, so 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.720 how old are you He's like twenty five. I'm like great, 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.560 I said, you actually are a year older than my daughter. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.000 Is my daughter in March. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.440 So it is a reality of me that I'm actually 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.680 playing dad parts and it really I am a dad. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.919 So it's really weird, but I'm accepting it. I'm accepting it, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.640 you know, lean exactly exactly. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.359 I mean, people love do it. My friend Philippe was 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.240 in that show for three years until October, and he 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.760 was sad even after three years, he was sad, Yeah, 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.480 to leave it. It just sounds like a really great 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:48.279 group of people. 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:50.720 You know, it is everybody is there. 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.760 You know, everybody got your back on that kind of thing, 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.919 and everybody wants to see it win, you know. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:55.960 I think that's why a lot. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.120 Of those, especially those kind of shows, are shows in 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.160 general like that really come together there and really go 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:05.400 far when the whole cast and everybody is one hundred percent, 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:06.159 you know, any of. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.000 You see it and you sense it. I don't know why. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.480 Sometimes you could feel sometimes maybe maybe a little bit 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.560 disconnect if something happens oway but a lot, you know, 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:15.680 majority shows you. 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:16.240 Wanted to win. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.840 But there's you know, something special about Angeuliette. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.400 I don't know. I think because maybe he goes. 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.680 In the music Shakespeare and it's the play within a 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.560 play and doing Romeo Jiet So it's it's adorable. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.599 I think you also have like it makes me feel 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.560 happy as a Max Martin nerd that you have something 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:38.200 that like people appreciate his music as much as I do, 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.600 and that like the show has been so successful for 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.320 so long here and in the West End, and I 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:51.839 feel like you have the most specific, unique perspective because 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:56.279 you were there right at the beginning of the birth 0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:02.679 of like Max Martin the Greatest All the Time, one. 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.839 Of the one of the last closer to the last 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.599 songs that Dennis Pop did with Max, which was I 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.800 watched back uh and and and like bye bye bye 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.800 and uh bye bye bye, then tear to My Heart 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.920 and them they did with Christian London. But yeah, kind 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.240 of interesting to see that legacy which where Dennis Pop 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.000 was literally almost basically handing Max that torch. When Dennis 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.839 passed away, Max obviously had the formula and and and 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.960 ran with it, which is it's amazing how he gets. 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.400 Music, do you know what I mean? 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.880 It's truly is amazing, the way the hooks on, how 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.520 they just drive certain things in the waste sometimes even 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.520 you know, people always go, oh, well that's a you know, 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.280 it's a Backstreet Boys song, or that's an Instant song, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.200 and that's a Britney song. It's like, yeah, listen to 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.040 the sounds. They're very similar to some of the things 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.159 that formula is there, but yet he comes up with 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.000 different hooks and he comes up with those little different 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.159 b hooks that just big it, you know, takes it 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.880 over the top and the and a lot of the 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:56.800 you know, the the the low ends that he hits 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:57.040 on there. 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:57.400 It's great. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.280 I mean again, it's he's a he is a uh 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.960 a pop genius, I would say, you know in that sense, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.479 and like you say, you know, since. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.120 You know, I mean, do you feel any of that 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.360 when you're doing the show that look at the breadth 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.440 of his work. There's so many different artists from so 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.240 many different decades. Yeah. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.520 Yeah, what's amazing about it too is the different you know, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.720 even though it's all pop music, the different stylistics of 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.320 what he does and actually pertains to a lot of 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.880 the artists in general. But you know, with the music 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.280 and these songs, of course, you know, with the with 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.160 the script itself, it's so woven, very very well, very clever. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.560 A lot of the songs that go into it. You know, 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.760 there's one scene if people haven't seen a Juliette, I'm 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.080 gonna give one thing away. I think it's kind of 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.000 funny where one, you know, Juliette is talking to somebody 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.720 and she's like, you know, well, here's the thing. We 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.160 started out as friends, and that's the song starting into 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:46.680 his story. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.760 But it's since you've been gone, so. 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.560 It's again, it's really funny and clever how certain things. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:51.720 You know. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.160 Again, I'm doing the scene with Francois, I'm pouring my 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:55.800 heart out the song I'm singing. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:56.360 Shape of my Heart. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.440 You know, it contains to a lot of that stuff, 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:04.320 and it's again, it's one of those feel good, I 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.160 don't know, feel good moments, especially for me and my character. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.920 It's like I'm not in the show completely a whole 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.960 whole lot, but I'm in it connecting everyone, I guess 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.840 in a sense. And then my son, but it has 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.880 such depth to it, you know, it's just one thing 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.680 of his you know, you know, the father coming out 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.440 to his son saying, listen, I want you to either 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.480 get married or you need to join the army like 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.280 your brothers. Is one or the other that's what I did. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:26.680 This is what I did. I want to make sure 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.480 you do what I'm doing. And you know, it's that 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.040 it's that, you know, don't want to disappoint your dad, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.160 and he goes a different route, and it's the scariness 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.320 of me getting you know, either upset, you know, the 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.760 father going just being disappointed or accepting and acknowledging what's 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.120 going on and knowing that he wants to be he 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.560 wants basically his son to be happy. And really what 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.280 sometimes was he was trying to make himself happy is 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.040 you know, and that always kind of happened sometimes I 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.200 was like listen, yeah, you gotta you gotta cut the 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:56.920 you gotta cut the cord or you know, let let 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.800 let the wings go, let him fly.

I'm not really a 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.760 writer in that sense, but doing that and. 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.320 Performing is what my love and my passion really started 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.240 out doing it as far as you know, going within 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.880 sync and oddly enough making that grow. 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.280 It kind of of course opened up doors for me. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.280 But I even said the first time I went and auditioned, 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.280 it was like two thousand and three, when I was 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.199 going to get the part for in Rent, they were like, 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.199 what character do you want to do? So first of 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:27.400 all they were like, oh, well, you know you were 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.120 in sync. How's the boy band you can do? It 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.640 looks like and I even said, I said, you need 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.240 to audition me. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:33.000 What if I suck? 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.720 Yeah, you forgot you were in the biggest band on 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.240 the planet, but you don't want to. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.640 Do it eight shows a week like that a different goal. 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.839 So when when I went to do it, the funny 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.000 part was is that, like I flewid from more landed 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.120 to go to New York and they're like, all right, 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:51.959 singing Roger's part and I was. 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:56.400 Like, crap, Rochester definitely definitely up there. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.480 And then I left and they were because they were 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:00.839 like well, which I was like, it's up to you, 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:01.960 which one you want me to try for? 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:02.880 And they're like, oh, do that. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.360 I left and went home. The next day they call 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:06.960 it like we think you can come back in an 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.880 audition from Mark. I was like, well that was the 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.960 part I thought I was really auditioning, but I was 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.520 just I wanted the ball in your court. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.360 And I've never known this before, you know, it was 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:16.200 like really a first time doing this kind of stuff. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.480 Yeah and lo and behold. Yeah, that was definitely the 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:19.160 character for me. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.480 And did Mark for six months and then I went 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.040 to Little Shop after that and a year later, which 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:24.959 was funny, played. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:31.320 Shows huge, Seymour fantastic. That's amazing. It makes sense. Look en, 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.880 Sync was one of my first concerts and which one 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:41.800 no strings attached. Yeah, yeah, and I was forever changed, 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.280 And it makes sense of it, like your stage presence, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.120 like you and JC stage presence was like something else, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.360 like you two just like grab that spotlight. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.360 The adrilline just goes. Yeah. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.040 But you know, like I have distinct memories of like 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.960 watching you specifically on like the VMA's and all those things. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.120 How like you did and do just light up a stage. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.920 And it makes so much sense now knowing that you 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.520 came from that theater world, that high school, so it's like, 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.679 of course you do all those harmonies or compel the 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:18.320 drama geek fully trained. It was likely aligned for you 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.120 to like, oh you have to be in a boy band, 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:22.560 this is your. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:23.400 Fate, you need to be. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.360 And again What's what's great about that is it opened 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.400 up so many other doors for me to to do 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.120 other things, which is great. I kept telling people are like, so, 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.600 what is that you want to do or anything you 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.280 haven't done. I said, well, so far, I haven't sucked 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.880 at anything I've done so far. I'm not like it's amazing, 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.600 but I'm I'm good I and people enjoy it. So 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.439 I'm just gonna take that and carry that as much 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.480 as i can, because for me, I love performing. I 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.240 love doing live shows. I love doing that aspect of it. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.000 You know, you you get the instant gratification, you know. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.720 I mean I've done films before, like my Big Factory 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.520 wedding and stuff like that, which is again amazing within itself, 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.000 and it's great, and I love doing film, but it's. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.079 Something about the theater and something about doing. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:08.960 It live, yes, and the nervousness of screwing up, which happens. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.480 It does happen, and it just happened recently with me, 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:12.960 even though I'm still new. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.720 My brain is going and there was a scene that 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.600 I just did and I was supposed to. 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.680 Say, well, you were running out of options and I'm 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:21.720 running out of patience and What came out out of 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.680 my mouth was you were running out of patients, options, options, patients. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:27.400 I'm so confused. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:28.960 Give me the game boy and I grabbed the game boy, 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.520 the guy's tand I just walked off the stage. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.080 Amazing, So it happens. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.000 I must have loved it. They must have loved it. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.280 But again, some people have never seen the show before, 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.600 so they don't know it before. But it's really it's 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.480 fun to see now who can, who knows, and who doesn't, 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.560 which is actually pretty cool because some people are like, oh, 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.080 if the show was great, I was like, I screwed 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.480 that up, like you did?
