Paul three and Hannah bus who she 665 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're sort of from the similar community 666 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: as I am in the city and in New York, 667 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: and they came up with this idea for somebody somewhere 668 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: and we have you know, it's been a very collaborative 669 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: process over the three seasons, and but as we've gone 670 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: into it more and more I've put more and more 671 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: of myself into it, more of my own story, more 672 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: of like my feelings and my feelings about grief and 673 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: about the love of singing and music and about and 674 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: and about self worth and all these things, and and 675 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: we we all sort of had the same way that 676 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: we wanted to tell a story that felt not like 677 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: document not documentary document documentary style, but like that felt 678 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: that felt natural, that felt lived in and that felt 679 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: slice a life. E and I remember watching the pilot 680 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: and I cried first because I was like, I was 681 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: moved that we did it. And then I cried because 682 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: it's like, nobody is going to like this, because this 683 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: is not a cool show, and Carol and Carolyn was like, no, 684 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: this is there's something special about this. And then we 685 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: and our probably got picked up. We shot our first season, 686 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,479 Speaker 1: second season, and now third season which is wrapping up. 687 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: But you know, it's if you know me from the 688 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: cabaret world, you know you've it's I'm sort of like 689 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: a wilder beast or something like a real wild like 690 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: sort of unhinged. But this is a different side of me. 691 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: And I mean I do saying and stuff in the show, 692 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: but it's more about like the human side of me, 693 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: like the things that make me me laugh and that 694 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: make me cry and the and the I've learned through 695 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: the experience of doing the show that other people see 696 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: themselves in it, and that's been great. You know, it's 697 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: been really rewarding. 698 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you love being on stage so much.

I mean I just didn't think I could do it. 702 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: I'm not a trained actor. I've never written a TV 703 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: show before, I've never produced. But you learned very quickly, 704 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: and luckily because Paul and Hanna and I had Caroline 705 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: is like a reference, Like she was such a great 706 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: sort of like a coach and a mentor and a 707 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: champion and like never treated us like she was above us. 708 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: She just kind of lifted us up, helped us grow. 709 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 1: And we all learned so much during the filming of 710 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: the show. And now I know I can I can 711 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: do a. 712 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 2: TV show, you know, I do it all.

Anyway, 825 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: the clip is on the internet and it's like been 826 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: viewed by you know, thirteen million people or something, and 827 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 1: there's thousands of comments about my body and I'm like, 828 00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, you are missing the point. I'm I'm wearing 829 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 1: this dress. I'm if you came seeing my show, like 830 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: I try to make everybody feel good about who they 831 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: are in their own skin, and like people just they 832 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 1: can't see past my what my what I'm walking around 833 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: in the skin I'm walking around in. Yeah, and that's 834 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, that's that obviously is you know, can be 835 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: different for different people. You know, however that looks about 836 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 1: how you look. But my point is just like I 837 00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 1: had to kind of whatever I've done, I've always had 838 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: to force myself in the room. I've always had to 839 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 1: thrust myself upon people. I've had to make it happen 840 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: for myself because people can see it because it didn't 841 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,799 Speaker 1: look like what they thought it should be. So I 842 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: don't know if that's the right, Yeah, if that's sort 843 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: of what you're talking about, but yeah, that's for me, 844 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 1: that's what it's been. 845 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know a woman who hasn't dealt 846 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 2: with an ism somewhere over the course of her life 847 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 2: or career. And yeah, I mean it's just sort of 848 00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 2: how you move through them. 849 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah.

What musical role would you 890 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 2: most like to play? 891 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 1: I really wanted to when they did The Little Mermaid, 892 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,239 Speaker 1: I really wanted to play Ursula in some shape or form. 893 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 2: That would have been so good. 894 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: I know they really missed the mark. I mean, Mlissa 895 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 1: McCarthy is incredible, But you know what, I think I 896 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 1: could have had something wonderful to offer as well, So 897 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: keep that in mind for the future. 898 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 2: And that's that is a role for a singer.
