1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: Former n syncer J C. Chase certainly knows how to

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: write a great pop song, having had a hand in

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: singles crafted for his own group as well as other artists,

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: but he's recently been trying his hand had another type

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: of songwriting, musical theater. He's actually written two full plays,

7
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: and while it's certainly something related to what he's done

8
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: in the past, it feels different and he's embracing that challenge.

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: He tells Billboard, there are similarities between writing a pop

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: hit and musical theater songs, and there are some very

11
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: big differences. When you're writing a single for something, it's

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: about what you're feeling in the moment. When you're working

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: on a musical, there's always a bigger picture in the

14
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: story is always driving the forest. I would say in

15
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: pop music, you can live in the moment and not

16
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: be worried about what you're singing about in terms of

17
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: if it not working with another piece the words. J C.

18
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Chase he is still fine tuning both musicals, but hope

19
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: to have more info on his plans in the coming month.

20
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,920
