I 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.000 was in I'm living in Nashville now and I was 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:34.400 at a little place eating yesterday and the girl, this 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.160 waitress comes up. She goes, I'm sorry. I know you've 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.519 done a lot of work, but I loved you on Glee. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.080 And that always you never really know what they're going 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.960 to say, whether it's yeah, pushing you don't know what 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.120 it's going to be. But it always makes me feel 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.440 so special because I remember the very first time I 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.680 went on set and you guys were all so lovely 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.000 to me. And that's the way it felt that the 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.000 Wicked premiere, because you know, you do these things, and 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.480 it's been you guys twenty two years since I did Wicked. 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.200 Oh my god, I've done a lot of work since then. 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:07.520 And yes, yeah, sometimes I go, dang, does anybody remember 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:08.680 what I've done? 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:09.480 Right? 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:14.200 Yeah, but my mom keeps saying. I said to me, 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.240 you know, you should be so lucky, and I have 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.200 a couple of things that are attached and for the 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.040 rest of my life, and we should all be lucky. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.600 But to feel the love that way, I was very 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:30.880 I was very surprised at my emotion. I and Diana 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.280 and I were like, ohka, I want to do this thing. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.240 You know, we're going to be supportive and past the torch, 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.600 then the wand the perspective room whatever. I was obviously 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.160 proud of those girls I want. Arianna and I are 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:47.160 extremely close and that I'm glad it shook out that way. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.880 I'm glad it went that way. Be them bring it 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:58.120 to life on film was extremely like you just it's surreal. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:04.520 It's surreal, and it's layered. It's layered, you know, complicated, 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.000 and those are the people that I love so much. 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:14.080 I mean, Right and Arihanna are just well I think 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:20.839 we can thank them for making musicals, bringing it it back, 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.920 you know, and maybe there'll be other producers, directors willing 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.839 to take a risk, you know, as John shoot. 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:34.919 It, you know, seeing the how involved you guys were 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:41.200 at the premieres, like multiple premieres in the movie, because 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.719 I kept thinking of, you know, Glee reboots get mentioned 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.719 all the time. Oh, I know, and like that how 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.480 that would feel if you're not a part of it. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.320 Where it's like again, I have the same thoughts we've 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.400 all talked about it, like it's great that there would 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.200 be another musical thing, what the show means to people 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.320 who are unrepresented, all of that, all of those things. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:08.159 But at the same time, I'm like, I feel as 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.599 a fan of you and a friend and a wicked 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.120 when you popped up on screen, I was like, thank God. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.320 I was like, I was like, you know, I sell 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.560 the care, it seems, and I hope you feel like 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:28.040 the care that you guys are involved in it in 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.120 some way.

I'm sure 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.200 because you just fully know. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.920 I know. Isn't it such a beautiful gift? 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.480 Yes, it's a gift. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.040 When I hear about the Glee reboot, it just like 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.520 I would hear about I would hear I did a 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:10.280 show called Good Christian Bitches gc B. Yes, it was 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.480 a little bit ahead of its time. I loved, I love, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.160 thank you. I love that show. And now they're talking 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.680 about rebooting it with a younger cast. And when you 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.720 hear that, you there is a stab in the heart. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:23.720 There is a stab in the heart, but at the 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:28.480 same time, at the same time, I don't know how 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.680 easy and wonderful it might feel to go. 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:35.920 Back, right, I don't know. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.280 I mean, I would be interested to hear y'all's thoughts 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.520 sometime on how it would feel. It's not always great 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:47.120 to go Yah had that, and it actually actually can't 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:47.679 be recreated. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:48.720 It's never going to be that. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.280 Oh look at Will and Grace, remember when they rebooted it. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:52.719 And Sean is one of my really good friend I'm 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.160 actually really good friends with all of them. I know, uh, 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.440 Sean the most, but Devi and Eric were fromt Friendly 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.920 and I don't know how they feel about that. I 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.720 haven't actually asked, but I wonder. You know, you're onto 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.280 other things. I don't know. 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.119 It feels like you're chasing something to me, because. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.600 It's a bottle that you don't know if you can 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:16.080 catch again. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.560 Because you want to go back because it was so good, 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:20.720 but there is no way. You're all different places in 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.640 your lives, the world is different, everything is different, and 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.560 so it could be a new, different, great experience, but 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.199 it's never going to be what it was. And I 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.640 think if you go into it thinking or chasing that feeling, 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.720 you're just going to be disappointed. And so I don't 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:35.480 know what it looks like. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.400 Yeah, going toward. 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.480 Thinking of something new but still doing the old thing. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.400 I don't know about. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.120 It because I'm crazy. This is what I do at night, 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:47.920 not about the Glee reyboot, because you know I read 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.720 it all the time. Yeah. Not. The only way I'd 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:52.240 like to see it is if you guys are all 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:56.240 parents and the new kids are. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.200 Cute or are you're older. 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.439 And you're maybe you're teaching at school. 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.840 Or right, Yeah, well. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.400 Then that way you're still in it, but you're ushering 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.880 in a new group. That would be the only way 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.679 as a as fans, A lot of fans would want 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.280 to I guess I'm honest the grandmother, I don't know 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.840 you at all. I could be the girl that's still 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:22.480 doing the fan. 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.520 He's the same. Yeah. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.360 Going back to anything that has and you've worked on 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:31.200 so many of those projects that had such. 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.000 Also Westering reboot has been talked about and all these 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.360 like God, now that I would love to see, but. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:52.120 Well that's that's yeah, Oh god, we're in season five now, 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:56.760 we're watching when you when when April comes back episodes 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.960 one hundredth episode where her and Holly Holiday are together, 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:04.480 and so you and Gwynneth, yes, yes, yeah, I'm. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:05.440 Glad y'all are reminded me. 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:10.360 No, I know, we forgot to. Yeah, And what happens 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:15.240 is you and Gwyneth have a really great storyline where 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.200 you were like in cahoots for an entire episode, you know, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.240 obviously trying to get the Glee club to stay together, 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.600 and it was like two of our favorite girls together 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.600 conspiring and it was so fun to watch. Do you 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.280 remember what that experience was like to film and to 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.080 get to work together. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.720 Never even met her, nor had I worked with her, obviously, 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.040 and so I was really excited about that. Working with 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.400 her was so the only thing I can say it 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.160 was was easy. It was another go and you know, 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.320 I don't like to enter a room with that stuff either, 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.360 you know me. So I was kind of nervous because 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.480 you know, that's a big Hollywood movie star and then 0:12:54.520 --> 0:13:00.960 I'm just I'm like, you know, I'm not so and 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.320 so I didn't know how she would respond to me 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:12.120 and if ideas would be welcome or but I enjoyed. 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:17.200 There's one particular moment that I remember the most, when 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.240 we were sitting in the rafters in the theater and 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.920 watching it and we were both kind of quiet, just watching, 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.480 y'all act. I mean, we could have been released, but 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.720 we were just watching. And it was very informative for 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.200 our characters too, and she was just so kind to me. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:39.800 I remember she wore this jumpsuit and I was like, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.440 I need to have that. She was like, I don't 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:47.040 think it's your size. No, I just need to made it. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.720 And I probably went out as Kristen and went out 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.120 in about the same jumpsuit because she looked so amazing 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.040 at it. And then of course she's tall and long, Coleen, 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.560 I am short. It doesn't look the same. So I 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.480 had my tailor in there trying. But I just really, 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.480 I have a lot of respect, respect when when she 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.520 could have to be honest, not done a TV show. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.280 Yeah, totally totally. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.360 But our characters were fun and I thought they entered. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.480 I thought the writers did write by us. I actually 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.040 sat that Anne Brennan a lot. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:23.800 Isn't he the best? 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.760 I mean he was I think wrote a lot of April. 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:28.920 Yeah, No, he's a genius. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.600 He was such a genius, and you guys were so 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.640 fun together, and it's so fun. You're you know, You're 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.360 comedy is just is your thing, it's where you live, 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.760 it's obviously. And then but then you get Gwynneth, who 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.640 it's not. You don't always see her being goofy and 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.120 silly like that, and so the two of you together 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.600 was just watching like comedic genius, brilliance. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.040 It was so exciting. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.920 And then we also did define Gravity again. I don't 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.840 know if you remember, but we did it again. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.640 And you know what I thought. I thought, they're doing 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.680 that again. That's what I heard. And then I thought 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:04.880 I was like, thank. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.080 God it worked. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.560 Yeah, it worked, y'all. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.160 It I felt. I watched you in that scene. I 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.720 was like, I feel so bad for her having to 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.400 listen because you know how long it take the film 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:18.480 a musical number, and I was like, she has to 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:24.160 listen to the song over and over, like like we're 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.000 dragging her in here to make her. Do hear this again? 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.440 I guess like gives a different show, yes. 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:37.000 But you know many times done poorly. Oh yeah here, 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.560 not by anyone on stage or anyone. I mean, I 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.520 just mean like an audition online. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:48.360 Yeah, it was it's good hands you have Leah and 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:49.120 Amber and Chrissy. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.520 Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be good. Yeah, it's 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:53.760 just hearing that song again. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.200 It's never away. Neither is popular. You can run, but 0:15:58.240 --> 0:15:58.920 you can't hide. 0:15:59.120 --> 0:15:59.440 I know. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:01.200 And I've heard that. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.280 You just I you're wicked for one more second. I 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.400 heard that you you said, and I think Ariam said, 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.640 thank Goodness is your favorite song in the show. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.760 It's my favorite song too. There's so it's so. 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:15.720 Thank you. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:21.080 It really is, it really is. It's so powerful and 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.680 it really encompasses a huge message. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.000 For Glinda in the show, I think. 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.720 But also you can hear it this show, right, Yes, 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.680 oh god, it's my favorite so soprano. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.920 I mean, I could talk about the because I'm crazy. 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.080 I could talk about the character characterizations for all my 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.960 characters and why. But I can just remember telling Ryan 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.880 if I could just he said, I'm going to have April, 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.320 you know, like shoplift, and I was like, oh my god, 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.560 if it could be in my clothes somehow. But then 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.120 Ian writes it words between my leg It's you know, 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:57.360 this is how my brain works. But for Glinda vocally, 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:03.200 in the beginning of the show Stephen. Originally, originally it 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.920 had been Madam Morble coming in and singing No One 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:12.560 mourns the Wicked good News. And then I was asked 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.200 to do the workshop one of the first readings, and 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:19.200 they said what if it was Kristen or Glinda and 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.840 Stephen had me doing it, and so it kind of stuck. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.840 And then you probably know the story that it was 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:29.000 really Madam Morble and Alphaba and Fierra's story in the beginning. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.840 Then I started there and it wasn't me going. It 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.080 just involved you know, it just evolved and they saw 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:42.280 that these two girls were the were the love story 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:52.000 as I Then eventually I went to Stephen. I mean, 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.480 I love him so much and I know he loves me, 0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.160 but I just said I can't come in. I'll come 0:17:57.200 --> 0:17:59.560 down on a bubble and go it's good to see 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:04.240 me as an it No One wns good News. I said, 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:06.560 to be a soprano, she has to be colored to 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.360 a soprano. And he said, you just want to show off. 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:13.000 I said, well yeah, but I also want it's the character. 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.560 It's how we think now, yes, so, and he kind 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:18.840 of you know, and the next day he came in 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.840 and it was let us be glad. It was that, 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.359 And then the reason I love the way he wrote 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.959 the character is there we had somewhere to go, so 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.159 that the time we get to Thank Goodness, popular is 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.560 belted and it's in a medium mixed belt. And then 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.560 you go to thank Goodness, which was a more of 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:44.040 a mixed belt but lower but high still, but you 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:49.560 still hear Glinda in there, Glinda and less of Glinda. 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.760 And then by the time we get to for good 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.600 she's singing all the low harms because of the growth. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:02.640 And I love I love it when things musically make sense. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:02.840 Though. 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.560 My favorite Stevens. 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.840 We're working together right now on a new show and 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:10.800 it's going really well. 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.440 Yeah, so you're doing Queen Overside. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.280 UNIVERSEID we did it. We learned a lot, you know, 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.199 That's why we go out of town.
