25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: in a couple of hours time. First of all, let's

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: go to one of the Pink Bogans, Megan.

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, how are you Megan?

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: How are you feeling?

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 4: I'm so nervous. The thought of getting up in front

30
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 4: of two hundred people is very overwhelming.

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: Now, listen, did you sleep at all last night?

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 4: I did have a pretty good sleep, but yeah, I'm

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 4: making up for it now. I'm very nervous, and now

34
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: I suddenly feel very weary.

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: I remember, right, everyone who's in the audience, including me,

37
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Jack and Pats, right, we're all on your side. We

38
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: just want you to have a great time. You haven't

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: got to entertain us or anything. We just think it's

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: amazing what you're doing. Anyway, We're on your side.

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: Yay.

42
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 5: I love that.

43
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 4: You know. I've been married twice and I elected to

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: Elope both times because I didn't want forty people sharing

45
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 4: on me all at once. So it's a big deal

46
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 4: to get up in front of two hundred people. But

47
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm ready to sing my little heart out.

48
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: Wow, well, please don't ditch us at the altar. We really,

49
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: we really need you. The other pink Bogans need you

50
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: as well, sister.

51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,280

144
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 5: I don't see you guys.

145
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: So it has been a journey the last couple of weeks.

146
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Here's how we're all starting.

147
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 7: This all started when Christian heard from people like him

148
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 7: who never got a speaking part in their high school play.

149
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 8: I was such a lover, I was a sheep.

150
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 5: I was a magnificent duck the wind in the Wizard

151
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 5: of Ool.

152
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 7: So he started a mission. Could he put on a

153
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 7: high school musical for grown ups and give them a

154
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 7: second chance to speak and even sing on stage.

155
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 8: I never got involved in drama. I've never been on

156
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 8: a stage. But on the weekend I took my kids

157
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 8: to see the wedding singer. I thought it was fabulous

158
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 8: and it looked like so much fun, and I did

159
