00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: You're I was going to say, but.

23
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: I was definitely a teenager and went to the local

24
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: cinema for a midnight show. My friend said, you have

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,279

26
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: and and and a newspaper for the rain spray bottle,

27
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: all this stuff where you said, we used to have

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: all this gear and it was great fun, great fun.

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: I never dreamed that one day actually be donning the heels.

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: So you weren't looking at it thinking I'm going to

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: be on stage one day, I'm going to be on

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: the stage.

33
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,280

34
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,080

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: don't realize till years later.

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: At that stage in the Yeah.

39
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: As far as the live show is concerned, you get

40
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: the feeling it's set. Yeah, Richard, do you think that

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,080

Speaker 4: having fun forever. It's timeless, isn't it.

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,520

44
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: that's going to be playing for eons, until until there's

45
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: no no more man on Earth. This show will be

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: running well.

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: You don't say to people don't see a rocky horror show,

48
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, I've seen it.

49
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: That's not what It's never what you hear. But it

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if.

51
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: You say, well, I can see last Blue in the

52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: face anyway. But you know there are some things, you know,

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: like the notebook or something I've said, although that's just open.

54
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: On Broadway, you know I've seen it. I don't really

55
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: want to say.

56
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: Quite up on your musical theaters a wheelhouse here.

57
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, this is my greatest disappointment that I

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: got singing. Speaking of singing, Nicholas Hammond from the Sound

59
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: of Music is in because he lives here and we're

60
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: very happy to.

61
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: Have him here.

62
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: He is the narrator, which is a very important part

63
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: of the show.

64
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, And and while so many people know

65
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 3: him as Friedrich from The Sons, the Eldest Son, what

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't know, which blows my mind

67
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: is that he is the original Spider Man. He's the

68
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: very first seventy eight, seventy nine, the first television series

69
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: that was ever made. The song that we all know

70
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: Spider Man Spider mat that was written whatever in his show.

71
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: Wow, cool, is that.

72
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: What a great get that money? Working with Spider Man.

73
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: Very cool.

74
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, take spidering senses and all the rest of it.

75
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 3: And he's and he's great. He's absolutely great in the show. Yeah. Yeah.

76
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: He many narrators they appear as themselves when they're doing

77
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: the show. He approaches it as a proper actor because

78
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: he is such yes, and and he's just fantastic, you know,

79
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 3: gnarly old narrator with it.

80
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: Well we last saw him once upon a time in Hollywood,

81
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, Tarantino, So he's quite wrong. He's very versatile.

82
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: You couldn't, you know, pigeonhole him into that sound amazing.

83
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hi David, I'll just got a question for everyone listening,

84
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: No question, just talk, because anyone could listen at that

85
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: voice all night. Find you have that that timber of

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: that kind of voices. Were you told as a young

87
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: man that you have that?

88
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: I did? I was. It was the bane of my

89
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: existence for quite a few years.

90
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

91
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: Well you can imagine an eight year old, a nine

92
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: year old whose voice is lower than your dad's. It's

93
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: kind of ridiculous Christmas time. So I was always I

94
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: was always teased and ridiculed and called Froggy and whatever else.

95
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

96
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, in fact, there was there was a teacher. Oh

97
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: bless her. I shouldn't be naming the dead, but miss

98
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: mss Turner. She is my favorite teacher, honestly until this

99
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: day in third grade when I asked a question and

100
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 3: I said, miss Turner, and she turned from the board

101
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: and said yes, and the whole room started laughing, and

102
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: I remember just shrinking into my chair and thinking, well,

103
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: forget it, I'm just not talking anymore. Wrong. That lasted

104
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: a while, but not long I heard the last laugh.

105
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: Here we are.

106
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,839

Speaker 1: more than the other.

114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: Or oh gosh, you know, I just have to say,

115
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: each one is so special in its own way. The

116
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: first one Jerry Springer. Do you guys know Jerry Springer

117
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,719

Speaker 1: Yeah?

119
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a worldwide phenomenon. I was getting calls

120
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: from all over the world, what is this thing you're doing,

121
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: and I have thanked the gentleman who wrote it because

122
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 3: to this day it's my calling card. I have never

123
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: ever gone into an audition where they didn't say from

124
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: the other side of the table, oh my god, I

125
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: saw you as the Devil and Jerry Springer, So you

126
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: know that's that's a huge step up for any actor.

127
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: Usually you're going into an audition thinking how can I

128
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: get them to notice me, to remember who I am.

129
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: I am young enough and to walk in and they're

130
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: already a fan because of that show. I am forever grateful,

131
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: So that one's I'd have to say a pretty special one.

132
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jered.

133
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 3: Incredible.

134
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: We've had a couple of that performers in here, of

135
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: liked men who have told us about things going on

136
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: in theater whilst they're on stage. Yes, unfortunately they're both

137
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: the last two. We have mentioned strange happenings. And it's

138
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 4: not boring things like mobile phones going off, because that

139
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: happens way too often, but that people have had fights,

140
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: physical fights in crowds and now it doesn't happen to

141
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 4: of course, but have you mots of the most bizarre

142
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 4: thing that's happened whilst you've been on stage, that you.

143
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: Have been on stage, gosh, well, I hate to say,

144
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: they're not always nice things. You know, you hear us

145
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 3: during the audience and you realize someone's you know, having

146
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: a heart attack and ambulance is on its wad, and

147
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 3: you're thinking, do I keep going? Do it? Do I stop?

148
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: What do we do? We always stop? Of course? Yeah?

149
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: Do I be less definition?

150
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: Right?

151
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: Yes? There's also things that happened to us backstage, which

152
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: of a more lighthearted nature, but still quite dramatic. I

153
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 3: was running on my way to the finale the whatever

154
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: happened to Fay And there's a certain place in this

155
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: we after run backstage, and everyone's been told steer clear,

156
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: Dave's got a run to get up on the moon

157
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: fast enough. And one day somebody forgot and was walking

158
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: looking down at her mobile phone. Yeah, my face connected

159
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 3: with her head and I broke my nose. Broke my

160
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: nose right there, right before the finale, and I went on.

161
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: They said, Dave, you can't go on. Yeah, I said,

162
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: that's my music, get out of the way.

163
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: Of course, singing with a broken nose, yeah be a

164
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: little challenging.

165
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: Well, actually, you know, there was the whole the whole time. Yeah,

166
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: I had red gloves on, so I kept wiping it away.

167
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: Thank god. You know improvisation.

168
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Wow, is there a dream role that you have yet

169
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: to tick off your backet list?

170
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: Gosh, I don't know. You know, it's been such a

171
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: such a great thing to always be creating roles. It's

172
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: it's it's a very different animal when you're you're stepping

173
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: into someone else's shoes and you're trying to recreate the

174
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: greatness that that one person originally had. So I've been

175
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: lucky enough, you know, things like a Juliette and shows

176
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: like that where I've created things from scratch. I suppose

177
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: one from the from the Ages would be Man of

178
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: La Mancha. I have always wanted to play don Quixote, really, Yeah.

179
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: The only problem is that it's usually a toll don

180
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: Quixote and a short Cervantes. Yeah. I'm more likely to

181
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: play Servantes, you know, I'm only by Yeah, well doesn't.

182
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: Mean people are you know, switching up Sirrho and all

183
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: sorts of things.

184
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: That's great, you remember Sirho. Yes, that's a good show too. Yeah. Yeah,

185
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things out there that I could

186
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: still do. The clock is ticking, babe. Yeah.

187
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: And if not now, I mean now is the time?

188
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: Kiote short?

189
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: How do David?

190
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 4: We say footage on line because there's so much social

191
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: media now of the stage door and people waiting for

192
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 4: the stars to come out. Are you're a fan of

193
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 4: such connection? Would you rather be in previews or whatever?

194
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: Well? That's you know, it goes, it goes up and down.

195
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: For me. I find that the more I the longer

196
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: I'm in the business, the more shy I get about

197
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: catch things. And so sometimes it gets a little bit uncomfortable,

198
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: especially with Rocky Horror people, you know, because in London

199
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: it's customary to start drinking at noon before you're showing

200
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: hard okay, okay, So we'd have people showing up who

201
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: were quite off their heads, and you know they're not

202
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: the best to deal with after the show, Yah, when

203
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: you're tired and you just want to go home.

204
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: But it's not driving mistakes.

205
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: No, no. But here in Perth people have been just lovely, yeah,

206
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: waiting out there to respect loves.

207
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: Rocky Horror, Yeah, I get it. I don't know what

208
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,280

Speaker 4: and it's stange.

211
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to autographs anymore so much. I want

212
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: to always always the self. It's still I keep my
