Let me tell you why we're talking about it. Chrissy
Mets and Joey footone from a Juliette on Broadway over here.
It's an honor to have you both here. First of all, Joey,
we've known for a thousands, standing in her graces. We've
been fans of yours for so long.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
But to have you in New York City at.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Joeyton if you photo, that's right. But we know you
hate New York, so we're glad you're here.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Here's the thing, I don't hate it. I'm over stimulated,
so I'm saying, there's a lot going on. There's a
lot of noise, there's a lot of sounds. I'm from
the country, so this is it's just a lot. But
I love the art, I love the people, I love
the food, I love the opportunities.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
She tired, and Christie loves the plane that takes her home.
Speaker 2 (01:02):

we do it for the love.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So Joe, you've been You've been with Anguliette for a
while and.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Keep suckering me back in.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So this is Chrissy's first this is your first Broadway show, indeed,
So how is she doing fantastic?
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Just no, she honestly, she's doing better than most. There's
a lot of other people.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Out there compliment.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
But people that don't know, let me explain you on
when we call that we called it broadway.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We called it a crap sandwich.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
People that have never done Broadway.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Pierce your first Broadway show, right, indeed, So people that
have never done Broadway and get thrown into it don't
know about eight shows a week.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They don't know how vocally tiring it is.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
And for you to keep going and not even and
you've been fantastic, That's what I'm saying. Some people have
been calling out some people do things. I haven't seen
you call out yet. I haven't seen you done it.
You've been you've been kicking ass and taking no.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I know how to rally. I know what endurance is.
You We spent eighteen nineteen hours on a set.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Okay, certain people don't. That's what I'm saying. That's the part.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
It's not for the when you see people that don't
do eight shows a week. Right, if you look at
certain celebrities that have done the shows, they've only maybe
and now let's be real, there's some parts that do
recall for vocally to be it's very demanding, so they
do take less time because they need the vocal rescue it.
But when there's a lot of people that do eight
shows a week, and they're doing the same stuff, and
(02:26):
you know, alphab is hit those notes every night, eight
shows a week.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Stand up to it. That's that's the that's the that's
the whole part of this show. That's the whole part
of this process.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Who's also okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I want to know that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And I've seen many people in the role of Angelique,
which is who she plays, and you are by far
one of my favorites and your voice.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You were saying, I didn't know you could sing like.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That a requirement, right.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Well, I moved to Nashville to a song right to
write country music into and I had a record deal
for a second, and then you know this is us
kick back up and after the VID and then yeah,
I just I just love music and I'm singing was
my first love. So I'm glad I get to marry
two of my favorite things.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, detour for just a second. Yeah, So Danielle and Gandhi,
you've seen a Juliet more than all of us, yes,
So what is it if someone hasn't seen Anguliet? What
is it that attracts you like a bug to light
to this show?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
There's so many things about this show.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
First of all, it's about acceptance and accepting yourself for
who you are. It's also about women empowerment that it's very,
very important.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The music is amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
If you grew up with and saying if you grew
up with Backstreet, if you grew up with you know Perry,
even if you didn't, the music is so cool, and
the way they like leave it into the storyline, it's FANTASTICDH,
What am I.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Supposed to say?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay, the same thing.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Also, it's funny I mean, I wasn't expecting it to
be as funny as it was, and then when I
saw it, I was like, Okay, Danielle is going to
go for thirty five times?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm sure up. But it was great.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I saw twice.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You know.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
That's the most amazing thing about it. I think with
this show too, it for me, it hasn't gotten stale yet. Nope,
that's again, that's that's the testing, that's what's fun about.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It behind stage all all the time.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
And then we were talking about it where sometimes you know,
you get other people that come in, so it's it's
fun and it's a different light and a different take
on what they do. So I was literally just on
the tour for two weeks for Chicago and then coming
back here. So Kay who plays Angelique there is completely
different take than than what Chrissy does, and it's it's
so much fun because it's it's a breath of fresh
air and it's it's fun to go off of that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Hello, So Chrissy merging into a show that was already there, Yes,
with one of the main performers who's been there, what's
that light being the new Beie And was that a
little daunting or you're like, you know it's grizzy. The
people I'm gonna show on whose balls? I mean, how
did you attack that?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The first two days of rehears I cried. I call
my boyfriend. I said, not gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Did you see her cracking? Was she cracking up?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I didn't see anything. Jumped in and she was there, like, hey,
nice to meet you. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I had three weeks to rehearse and they were like, okay,
here you go. And I'm thinking, stop making the costumes,
like this is don't make the wig.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And my boyfriend was like.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Chris, you know that you don't ever quit anything you start, like,
don't do it now, this is something.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You've always wanted to do. And I was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yeah, but you don't know, like my dogs are barking,
my legs is howling, like it's a mess. And I'm
just so grateful that I stuck with it because I'm
having so much fun. It's the most challenging thing I
think I've ever done, but it's also just been so
much fun and everybody's so talented, and I like enjoy
going to work.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's really fun. What's that? Like?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Right, not to get too deep and too personal, but
were you were you at a point in your life
and career where you needed a kick, a kick in
the head to like do something totally different and you
didn't know.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Because I've been doing things totally different all the time.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So this is nothing new.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Doing no, no, no musical theater is a beast in itself,
Like we're saying, like it's not for the faint of heart.
Not everybody can do it, and I'm not tooting my
own horn but TOI, and like the schedule is grueling,
but like it's a different animal completely, Like again, I
can spend eighteen hours on a set, but like being
(06:20):
shot out of a cannon for two and a half hours,
and like again, perimenopausal, almost forty six years old.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Like whoo, Like it's a lot athlete. What I'm trying to.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Tell you, think about doing doing your.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Ideas all day long, twenty four to seven, all the time.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But I've been doing it for fifty years and it sucks,
does it?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Damn well?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I mean at this very moment is.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
The repetition of it though, That's the thing, and That's
what I think really gets you. It's almost like Groundhog D.
You go to work and you go, what scene am
I doing again? Because did I do it already? Because
you already did it last.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Christy called her boyfriend said I'm not doing this. I'm
not I'm coming home. So obviously there was something about
it that was a total turn off in the very beginning.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
It's not a turn off, it's am I capable of this?
And can I do it to the best of my ability?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is that enough?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So are you satisfied that you are doing it now?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I'm very sad.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I'm very sad, and I think people who come see
the show are very sack.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh I was very satisfied. Oh good, I'm so happy. No,
it's just it's not I don't think every actor can
do theater. I really don't.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Well, you gotta think about it because you're you're on lot,
you're live on stage, so anything can happen.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You're people are.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Talking as candy, you're watching people they're screaming, and you
got to just either just keep going or pause for
a second and then keep on going.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's it's I'm.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Almost engaged with someone who sneezed and I was like,
you are not in your own show right now? Like
you keep going yeah, And then I almost made a
joke and I was like, Christy, you have a scene.
Get it together.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
There was a lot of There was a lot of
crinkling of like candy yesterday, and a couple of times
the people around me were like open that what really?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean it was loud crinkling.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
They shouldn't serve that type of theater etiquette video before.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But because even if there was, the people would do
what they want to do.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
But at least at least as an actual visual, okay
from from the security. And sometimes you go to a
different country, you don't know what it's saying, but you see,
you know what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
The company talks about no cell phones, no recording, and
people are still with their cell phones, still recording.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, So in a second, I'm going to ask all
of us going are going to participate the rules for
theater goers coming out?
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Oh yeah, Well I was trying to explain to my
boyfriend based on what you guys were just saying. Because
he never was a Broadway guy, I don't know that
he still is a Broadway guy. But I said, it's
peak performance.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It is live.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
It is syncing up with music, so musicians are playing
while you guys are acting and you're singing it at
the same time, and you can't mess up and you
don't have lines. I think that that is in my opinion,
what is harder than that when it comes to performance
much nothing right. Four actors that have done movies and TV.
Is this something that they aspire to do to like
get under their belt because they're like, well, if I
(09:08):
can do Broadway, I can do everything.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Sometimes it's the other way around. But they don't do Broadway,
but they do like theater and shows I don't do.
They don't do eight shows a week, but it's like
more like a summer stock or something like that where
they do it in a short amount of time, I believe.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But to do yeah, I don't know eight shows a week.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
To do that, I don't know if a lot of
people have, but mostly actors that are just actors for television, film,
it's a little it's definitely different.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It's a different schedule.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I really don't think like maybe people are capable, maybe
they don't even know they're capable. I didn't I certainly didn't,
but like it is a massive undertaking, like it's it's honestly, no, you.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Don't have a life like during a night you're you're even.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Social because even talking too much over like the restaurant
music or like voices inside of a restaurant, like you
have to conserve the energy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's it's a whole commitment.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
It is a whole comm Do you ever use vocal
rest as a reason to just not engage with people?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I did that before the show.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I can't like the old say, I've got COVID, I
can't hang out. Christy Megine, Joey Fotone from a Juliette
on Broadway and its fourth year on Broadway, over fifteen
hundred performances at the Steven Sondheim Theater, of course, breaking
all sorts of Broadway records of cost Chrissy's playing Angelique, uh,
(10:22):
and of course uh, Joey Fatone is playing Lance and
all the times theater girl Daniel you've seen and Juliet, Yes,
you keep going back.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Because it's fun. It's so much fun. And I never
get bored. And now I know, like little things that
are you know said, and like there'll be a line
and I'll say it, you know, to myself, I'm like, oh,
I knew that was coming or whatever. But it's just
fun and it's fun to watch other people experiencing it
for the first time. I've experienced it a million times,
but I like watching other people experience I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I've got to go. I've had tickets. There's been a
devastating thing happened. I'm afraid to get tickets. People are
gonna start dying around me.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Just down and Richie. They'll go with you, Richie, thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I can't even look at the people watching the show,
the audience, because I start weeping and getting emotional.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I'm like, Christy, keep it together.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
During the end, it's really cute because you'll start to
see like a mom and daughter or a dad and
son or anybody, and you just see them just get
into it at the end, as you know you've seen it,
and they just jump up down, they start singing the song, roar,
and it's just it's just spoilers, spoilers.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
If you're looking out at the audience, what's the worst
thing that you can see that's just gonna knock you
off your game.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
We did people making out the other night, actual like
actual insertion.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
The tongue. Yes, the tongue. Was there a tongue.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'm not confirming or denying.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I just know that it was a distraction and I
was like, well, don't engage, don't were you distracting them.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Like I inspired them?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, so other than seeing people making out the audience,
let's come up with just a list of things for
theater goers from people who are actually on a stage
every night.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
In the theater.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Don't fall asleep, just quote and Juliette, don't be a
douche ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Oh my god, if you have a cough, please cough drop.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And a mask.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
I don't want to be bringing it and I don't
want to hear it the whole time.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, so annoying.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
And also I know the theater seats are small, but
if I feel you kicked the back of my seat
more than once, I feel like I should be allowed
to yank your shoe off and throw it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Have you seen confrontation between between theatergoers because.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Oh yeah, I was doing but it wasn't for this theater.
But I was doing Rock of Ages and literally a
full fistfight was going out, full on, Like Dan, I
was watching it because I was watching the hurt. I'm
not watching watching the show to learn the part. And
as I'm watching a whole commotion while the show's going, just.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Full on this fight. Oh, I don't know. That's crazy.
I don't like this show. I don't know. I have
no idea. That is such a non pause.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's not a thing.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We never had, No, we've never had anything.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
There's people that record a lot, and it's very distracting.
We can see that, we can see, we can see see.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay, don't be going, can enjoy the show, be present
in the moment, and don't talk, don't say look at
this coming up. You're gonna love to Let the show
do the work.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Joy.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I've got one for you, and I learned this the
hard way. Lame is years ago. Do not pass gas
during the show.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I'm sorry, but to do what my grandma's aid, better
out than in. You better do what you gotta do.
Hopefully it's quiet, but you're not gonna you're gonna be tortured.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You something you're gonna be.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
They don't mean to sting up the joint, but like,
but it is nice.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Here's another one. Singing along is encouraged or discouraged at and.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Juliet hold on it is discouraged.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
However, there is a night that they have a sing
ang where there is monitors on the sides of the
stage and literally the words will pop up so and
we do tell them.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't listen, don't do the
words as far as the script.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
But when the songs come out sing as loud as
you want, we don't care, and it's entertaining. It's actually
kind of fun for us because we're like and it
was okay, that was amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Everybody knows all the words and everything, and people have
the best time. I've gone to one of them this
thing to.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Sing along anyway. I bet that's the one you should
come to.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I did get in trouble yesterday for hooting and hollering
a little too loud, but it's part of the show.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You got in trouble. Did an usher come down to
shut up?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I'm gonna go ahead and say that there were a
couple of people sitting in front of me that I'm
gonna say this wasn't the show for them. And there's
a lot that goes on where people scream and yell
and like cheer and whatever, and they were not happy
about it.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
That's a who little concert performance to much away. But
it's like a concert performance where you and.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
You you were like, come on, everyone, make noise, tell
me to make more noises.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
O Lord, look at you theater women getting all mad
at people.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I was mad at them.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
We're taking away the joy from the people around us.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
See, that's and Juliette. I've never never heard anyone say
anything about a Juliette that doesn't include happiness, joy and fun.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You do, you do good, and you should. That's the point.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
I wish we could lobby for whoever sells the tickets
to see people by height, because I'm always.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Then.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I know it's not their fault, but like, if you're
really tall, just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
The row yes, in the middle of the road, coming late,
the whole road has to stand up knees, knocking your.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Heads, chrissy. No one's saying, oh my god, we're in
the middle of road. We got to get there early.
People are going to be the late people.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
They're always It's called theater etiquette.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, I'm sorry, get it together.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I don't think he's happy. We give people grace but yes,
there are some shows that I won't.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, some shows you did make it.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Some shows they will say you.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh, I was at La miss and they said, if
you're not in your seat, it's amazing. You're not in
your seat at a certain time. We're not going to
let you in until ten minutes into the show. And
then they tell you because there's certain numbers, you know,
they wouldn't go back.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
In for the rest room. Can you just sty did that?
Speaker 6 (16:22):
I actually was a little late to the show and
I had to just stand outside and just wait until
the big number open and then they let you.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Okay, here's the bad thing about the ten minutes into
the show thing. If I'm the person doing the solo
at ten minutes into the show and they're like, oh great,
I'm going to sing my song, it's time for them
to let all the late people while iren't performing. Am
I that bad? Don't deserve better a little break? Okay?
So A Juliette is on Broadway, You got to get
your tickets. How long are you both there?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Do know?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I'm here till September thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Okay, well, well it all depends the nice thing about
what I'm doing is I get to have fun this
this past couple of years, I really have been like
just kind of picking and choosing things that I'm are.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They about to let you go? Is that we're living?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
They keep extending me.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
That's the problem. So I'm actually possibly coming more times?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Can I say it?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Am I allowed to yell with people? Okay? Great?
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Because that first I was supposed to be done. But
now I'm actually coming all the way up to October thirty. First,
I'm going to be here until October. Yes, yes, so
I'm going to be here first sign I'm yes, I'm
gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
UTIL negotiated that out, hold on and not all the
whole time. Let's be real.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
The cool thing is is me and Paula, who's the original.
We're gonna be bouncing back and forth and doing shows
like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's a lot of lips for me, guys.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
It's a lot of lips, you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I have four different lances now.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Oh my gosh, Oh my god, that's kisser to me.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Okay, you know what's speaking of? Speaking of rating now
on a scale of one to ten to being the best,
how do you rate each other as actors? And how
do you rate each other?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Kidding me?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And how do you rate each other as singers?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Acting?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I think I would say one hundred ten.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I love I love the way you delivered things because
you delivered things so differently, and I love it because
it's it's it's so natural meaning singing though, sing singing though?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
What I'm laving this joint?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Like you serious?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You don't even know if I can singer?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Are you ready to hear?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's like a nine? I'm gonna be I'm gonna be honest.
So why is because I wouldn't give myself a nine
or ten either. I don't. I don't sang, I sing.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
You're very sassy up there, You're okay.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Here's the thing for me, and this is what I
have an issue with, Like art is subjective, and how
do we put a number?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
How do we put like? You can't? And who's like,
how do that's weird?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She's about to give you a four right now? That's okay?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I don't give it, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Joey Forte singing, singing and acting ten, ten, nine, eight
sevens what you give me?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
For me, I've been uncomfortable. That's the way how I'm
not even uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
It's okay because you're you're so confident and that's exactly
what's most important, not what anybody thinks about what you're
doing or what you're not doing.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
But I think you're fabulous anyway, So your here we go.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Joey is so funny and so sweet and like just
a different take on Lance, and like I say, he's wild, Like.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I don't do it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I did say that I've never done hardcore drugs in
my life, but like this is what I think hardcore.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Drugs and I've never done, never done how gore drugs either.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
This is fantastic.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
It was one of those things where it's like a
shot out of the cata. Really is my I don't know,
My take is completely different, really is because the character
that especially that that Lance plays is a very just
supposed to be a very stern man. I play a
little more comedic and I definitely do it. It's definitely
different than what people normally see. It's a horrible accent,
but it's more of an and the guy that the
actual vocal is more of an opera singer, so a
(19:54):
lot of it does vocal and it's completely like I said,
it's different from what I do.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'm not what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
We can't compare apples oranges different. The tree doesn't compare
to the flower, you know what I mean? Like it's
both beautiful and wonderful, and I don't. I just think
it's weird to comparison.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
We like comparisons. Really, you can't.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Some flowers you can smell, some flowers you can eat.
There you go, take with that what you will. That's
exactly right. Take it you want.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Okay, Chrissy mess would you either eat her or smell her?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
There you go, you start.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Her boyfriend. You will not answer the question. You will answer,
never answer.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Okay. Bottom line is here. Here, here's my take on
this show that I'm going to come see.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Sure, it's obvious they are very smart in who they
put into these roles because they know that you can
make it your own and there is no way to
compare air. It's apples and oranges because it's you. It's you,
and I think that's that's what makes this show magic.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Obviously, individuality, that's really what the show celebrates.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
It's not a cookie cookie cutter actor.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I want this person.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
It's yeah, it's nice to watch everybody flourish in the
way they do and their characters and how how it works.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's great. It's really cool. And we're getting some new people.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Coming into which is I'm going to miss Liam.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
He was my favorite Romeo.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Everybody, Yeah, Liam play Romeo. She knows all the names.
This is Liam's last week as Romeo. We miss you.
We're going to miss you. Liam. A lot of a
lot of people going.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Everybody is so talented, everybody on that stage.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Again, it's one of those things that you see all
the different Broadway shows, you know, and and and and
how hard work goes into it and how much love
and passion these people have for it. And sometimes these
shows go right up and come right back down, which
is crazy though. And you know, I'd love to figure
out and figure out a way to make everything all
affordable that people can actually live and work and stuff,
because now it's it's getting expensive. Things are getting pretty
pretty pretty high up in there. So we'll see hopefully.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Chrissy Mets and Joy foot Tone and Juliette on Broadway
where it is a lot of hard work. But the
cool thing about this show, I bet you, is that
they don't think about the hard work you put into it,
because it just looks like you're having fun and you're
really getting into it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I mean I am, no, I really am.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, No, I'm having the most fun I've.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Had a very well Welcome to New York City. Please
leave it the way you found it, when you'll take.
Speaker 3 (22:30):

Gotta get your hot dog. We gotta go. We gotta

Speaker 1 (22:42):
And you will and you and when you leave this room,
it'll be.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Better than an answer.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm trying to make up for these snipping versus taking
you guys for coming into that much any ovation
Speaker 3 (23:00):
A word to show exactly
Daniel, How many times have you seen and Juliette on Broadway?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Eight times?
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Eight times, eighteen eight?
Speaker 4 (00:07):
Are they going to get a restraining No, I met
somebody who saw it thirty five times.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So when you love something, you keep going back. Guys,
are you.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Gonna get there? You're gonna get their thirty five times?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
I would like to.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Let me tell you why we're talking about it. Chrissy
Mets and Joey footone from a Juliette on Broadway over here.
It's an honor to have you both here. First of all, Joey,
we've known for a thousands, standing in her graces. We've
been fans of yours for so long.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
But to have you in New York City at.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Joeyton if you photo, that's right. But we know you
hate New York, so we're glad you're here.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Here's the thing, I don't hate it. I'm over stimulated,
so I'm saying, there's a lot going on. There's a
lot of noise, there's a lot of sounds. I'm from
the country, so this is it's just a lot. But
I love the art, I love the people, I love
the food, I love the opportunities.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
She tired, and Christie loves the plane that takes her home.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yes, she lives in Nashville.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I do, I do, but I haven't been home with
it in a second, so I miss it. But you know,
we do it for the love.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Of the game.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
So Joe, you've been You've been with Anguliette for a
while and.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Keep suckering me back in.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So this is Chrissy's first this is your first Broadway show, indeed,
So how is she doing fantastic?
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Just no, she honestly, she's doing better than most. There's
a lot of other people.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Out there compliment.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
But people that don't know, let me explain you on
when we call that we called it broadway.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
We called it a crap sandwich.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
People that have never done Broadway.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Pierce your first Broadway show, right, indeed, So people that
have never done Broadway and get thrown into it don't
know about eight shows a week.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
They don't know how vocally tiring it is.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
And for you to keep going and not even and
you've been fantastic, That's what I'm saying. Some people have
been calling out some people do things. I haven't seen
you call out yet. I haven't seen you done it.
You've been you've been kicking ass and taking no.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
No.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I know how to rally. I know what endurance is.
You We spent eighteen nineteen hours on a set.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Okay, certain people don't. That's what I'm saying. That's the part.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
It's not for the when you see people that don't
do eight shows a week. Right, if you look at
certain celebrities that have done the shows, they've only maybe
and now let's be real, there's some parts that do
recall for vocally to be it's very demanding, so they
do take less time because they need the vocal rescue it.
But when there's a lot of people that do eight
shows a week, and they're doing the same stuff, and
(02:26):
you know, alphab is hit those notes every night, eight
shows a week.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Stand up to it. That's that's the that's the that's
the whole part of this show. That's the whole part
of this process.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Who's also okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I want to know that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
And I've seen many people in the role of Angelique,
which is who she plays, and you are by far
one of my favorites and your voice.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You were saying, I didn't know you could sing like.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That a requirement, right.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Well, I moved to Nashville to a song right to
write country music into and I had a record deal
for a second, and then you know this is us
kick back up and after the VID and then yeah,
I just I just love music and I'm singing was
my first love. So I'm glad I get to marry
two of my favorite things.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, detour for just a second. Yeah, So Danielle and Gandhi,
you've seen a Juliet more than all of us, yes,
So what is it if someone hasn't seen Anguliet? What
is it that attracts you like a bug to light
to this show?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
There's so many things about this show.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
First of all, it's about acceptance and accepting yourself for
who you are. It's also about women empowerment that it's very,
very important.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
The music is amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
If you grew up with and saying if you grew
up with Backstreet, if you grew up with you know Perry,
even if you didn't, the music is so cool, and
the way they like leave it into the storyline, it's FANTASTICDH,
What am I.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Supposed to say?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay, the same thing.
Speaker 7 (03:50):
Also, it's funny I mean, I wasn't expecting it to
be as funny as it was, and then when I
saw it, I was like, Okay, Danielle is going to
go for thirty five times?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm sure up. But it was great.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I saw twice.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You know.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
That's the most amazing thing about it. I think with
this show too, it for me, it hasn't gotten stale yet. Nope,
that's again, that's that's the testing, that's what's fun about.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It behind stage all all the time.
Speaker 6 (04:12):
And then we were talking about it where sometimes you know,
you get other people that come in, so it's it's
fun and it's a different light and a different take
on what they do. So I was literally just on
the tour for two weeks for Chicago and then coming
back here. So Kay who plays Angelique there is completely
different take than than what Chrissy does, and it's it's
so much fun because it's it's a breath of fresh
air and it's it's fun to go off of that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Hello, So Chrissy merging into a show that was already there, Yes,
with one of the main performers who's been there, what's
that light being the new Beie And was that a
little daunting or you're like, you know it's grizzy. The
people I'm gonna show on whose balls? I mean, how
did you attack that?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The first two days of rehears I cried. I call
my boyfriend. I said, not gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Did you see her cracking? Was she cracking up?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I didn't see anything. Jumped in and she was there, like, hey,
nice to meet you. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
I had three weeks to rehearse and they were like, okay,
here you go. And I'm thinking, stop making the costumes,
like this is don't make the wig.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
And my boyfriend was like.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Chris, you know that you don't ever quit anything you start, like,
don't do it now, this is something.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You've always wanted to do. And I was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yeah, but you don't know, like my dogs are barking,
my legs is howling, like it's a mess. And I'm
just so grateful that I stuck with it because I'm
having so much fun. It's the most challenging thing I
think I've ever done, but it's also just been so
much fun and everybody's so talented, and I like enjoy
going to work.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
It's really fun. What's that? Like?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Right, not to get too deep and too personal, but
were you were you at a point in your life
and career where you needed a kick, a kick in
the head to like do something totally different and you
didn't know.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Because I've been doing things totally different all the time.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So this is nothing new.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Doing no, no, no musical theater is a beast in itself,
Like we're saying, like it's not for the faint of heart.
Not everybody can do it, and I'm not tooting my
own horn but TOI, and like the schedule is grueling,
but like it's a different animal completely, Like again, I
can spend eighteen hours on a set, but like being
(06:20):
shot out of a cannon for two and a half hours,
and like again, perimenopausal, almost forty six years old.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Like whoo, Like it's a lot athlete. What I'm trying to.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Tell you, think about doing doing your.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Ideas all day long, twenty four to seven, all the time.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
But I've been doing it for fifty years and it sucks,
does it?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Well?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Damn well?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I mean at this very moment is.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
The repetition of it though, That's the thing, and That's
what I think really gets you. It's almost like Groundhog D.
You go to work and you go, what scene am
I doing again? Because did I do it already? Because
you already did it last.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Christy called her boyfriend said I'm not doing this. I'm
not I'm coming home. So obviously there was something about
it that was a total turn off in the very beginning.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
It's not a turn off, it's am I capable of this?
And can I do it to the best of my ability?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Is that enough?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
So are you satisfied that you are doing it now?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I'm very sad.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I'm very sad, and I think people who come see
the show are very sack.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh I was very satisfied. Oh good, I'm so happy. No,
it's just it's not I don't think every actor can
do theater. I really don't.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Well, you gotta think about it because you're you're on lot,
you're live on stage, so anything can happen.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
You're people are.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Talking as candy, you're watching people they're screaming, and you
got to just either just keep going or pause for
a second and then keep on going.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's it's I'm.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Almost engaged with someone who sneezed and I was like,
you are not in your own show right now? Like
you keep going yeah, And then I almost made a
joke and I was like, Christy, you have a scene.
Get it together.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
There was a lot of There was a lot of
crinkling of like candy yesterday, and a couple of times
the people around me were like open that what really?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I mean it was loud crinkling.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
They shouldn't serve that type of theater etiquette video before.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
But because even if there was, the people would do
what they want to do.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
But at least at least as an actual visual, okay
from from the security. And sometimes you go to a
different country, you don't know what it's saying, but you see,
you know what they're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
The company talks about no cell phones, no recording, and
people are still with their cell phones, still recording.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, So in a second, I'm going to ask all
of us going are going to participate the rules for
theater goers coming out?
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Oh yeah, Well I was trying to explain to my
boyfriend based on what you guys were just saying. Because
he never was a Broadway guy, I don't know that
he still is a Broadway guy. But I said, it's
peak performance.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
It is live.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
It is syncing up with music, so musicians are playing
while you guys are acting and you're singing it at
the same time, and you can't mess up and you
don't have lines. I think that that is in my opinion,
what is harder than that when it comes to performance
much nothing right. Four actors that have done movies and TV.
Is this something that they aspire to do to like
get under their belt because they're like, well, if I
(09:08):
can do Broadway, I can do everything.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Sometimes it's the other way around. But they don't do Broadway,
but they do like theater and shows I don't do.
They don't do eight shows a week, but it's like
more like a summer stock or something like that where
they do it in a short amount of time, I believe.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But to do yeah, I don't know eight shows a week.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
To do that, I don't know if a lot of
people have, but mostly actors that are just actors for television, film,
it's a little it's definitely different.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
It's a different schedule.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I really don't think like maybe people are capable, maybe
they don't even know they're capable. I didn't I certainly didn't,
but like it is a massive undertaking, like it's it's honestly, no, you.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Don't have a life like during a night you're you're even.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Social because even talking too much over like the restaurant
music or like voices inside of a restaurant, like you
have to conserve the energy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's it's a whole commitment.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
It is a whole comm Do you ever use vocal
rest as a reason to just not engage with people?
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I did that before the show.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I can't like the old say, I've got COVID, I
can't hang out. Christy Megine, Joey Fotone from a Juliette
on Broadway and its fourth year on Broadway, over fifteen
hundred performances at the Steven Sondheim Theater, of course, breaking
all sorts of Broadway records of cost Chrissy's playing Angelique, uh,
(10:22):
and of course uh, Joey Fatone is playing Lance and
all the times theater girl Daniel you've seen and Juliet, Yes,
you keep going back.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Because it's fun. It's so much fun. And I never
get bored. And now I know, like little things that
are you know said, and like there'll be a line
and I'll say it, you know, to myself, I'm like, oh,
I knew that was coming or whatever. But it's just
fun and it's fun to watch other people experiencing it
for the first time. I've experienced it a million times,
but I like watching other people experience I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I've got to go. I've had tickets. There's been a
devastating thing happened. I'm afraid to get tickets. People are
gonna start dying around me.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Just down and Richie. They'll go with you, Richie, thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
I can't even look at the people watching the show,
the audience, because I start weeping and getting emotional.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I'm like, Christy, keep it together.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
During the end, it's really cute because you'll start to
see like a mom and daughter or a dad and
son or anybody, and you just see them just get
into it at the end, as you know you've seen it,
and they just jump up down, they start singing the song, roar,
and it's just it's just spoilers, spoilers.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
If you're looking out at the audience, what's the worst
thing that you can see that's just gonna knock you
off your game.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
We did people making out the other night, actual like
actual insertion.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
The tongue. Yes, the tongue. Was there a tongue.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I'm not confirming or denying.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I just know that it was a distraction and I
was like, well, don't engage, don't were you distracting them.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Like I inspired them?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, so other than seeing people making out the audience,
let's come up with just a list of things for
theater goers from people who are actually on a stage
every night.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
In the theater.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Don't fall asleep, just quote and Juliette, don't be a
douche ahead.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Oh my god, if you have a cough, please cough drop.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
And a mask.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
I don't want to be bringing it and I don't
want to hear it the whole time.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, so annoying.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
And also I know the theater seats are small, but
if I feel you kicked the back of my seat
more than once, I feel like I should be allowed
to yank your shoe off and throw it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Have you seen confrontation between between theatergoers because.
Speaker 6 (12:34):
Oh yeah, I was doing but it wasn't for this theater.
But I was doing Rock of Ages and literally a
full fistfight was going out, full on, Like Dan, I
was watching it because I was watching the hurt. I'm
not watching watching the show to learn the part. And
as I'm watching a whole commotion while the show's going, just.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Full on this fight. Oh, I don't know. That's crazy.
I don't like this show. I don't know. I have
no idea. That is such a non pause.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
That's not a thing.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We never had, No, we've never had anything.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
There's people that record a lot, and it's very distracting.
We can see that, we can see, we can see see.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Okay, don't be going, can enjoy the show, be present
in the moment, and don't talk, don't say look at
this coming up. You're gonna love to Let the show
do the work.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Joy.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I've got one for you, and I learned this the
hard way. Lame is years ago. Do not pass gas
during the show.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I'm sorry, but to do what my grandma's aid, better
out than in. You better do what you gotta do.
Hopefully it's quiet, but you're not gonna you're gonna be tortured.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You something you're gonna be.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
They don't mean to sting up the joint, but like,
but it is nice.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Here's another one. Singing along is encouraged or discouraged at and.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Juliet hold on it is discouraged.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
However, there is a night that they have a sing
ang where there is monitors on the sides of the
stage and literally the words will pop up so and
we do tell them.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't listen, don't do the
words as far as the script.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
But when the songs come out sing as loud as
you want, we don't care, and it's entertaining. It's actually
kind of fun for us because we're like and it
was okay, that was amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Everybody knows all the words and everything, and people have
the best time. I've gone to one of them this
thing to.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Sing along anyway. I bet that's the one you should
come to.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
I did get in trouble yesterday for hooting and hollering
a little too loud, but it's part of the show.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You got in trouble. Did an usher come down to
shut up?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
I'm gonna go ahead and say that there were a
couple of people sitting in front of me that I'm
gonna say this wasn't the show for them. And there's
a lot that goes on where people scream and yell
and like cheer and whatever, and they were not happy
about it.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
That's a who little concert performance to much away. But
it's like a concert performance where you and.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
You you were like, come on, everyone, make noise, tell
me to make more noises.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
O Lord, look at you theater women getting all mad
at people.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I was mad at them.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
We're taking away the joy from the people around us.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
See, that's and Juliette. I've never never heard anyone say
anything about a Juliette that doesn't include happiness, joy and fun.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
You do, you do good, and you should. That's the point.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
I wish we could lobby for whoever sells the tickets
to see people by height, because I'm always.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Then.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I know it's not their fault, but like, if you're
really tall, just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
The row yes, in the middle of the road, coming late,
the whole road has to stand up knees, knocking your.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Heads, chrissy. No one's saying, oh my god, we're in
the middle of road. We got to get there early.
People are going to be the late people.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
They're always It's called theater etiquette.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, I'm sorry, get it together.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
I don't think he's happy. We give people grace but yes,
there are some shows that I won't.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, some shows you did make it.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Some shows they will say you.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh, I was at La miss and they said, if
you're not in your seat, it's amazing. You're not in
your seat at a certain time. We're not going to
let you in until ten minutes into the show. And
then they tell you because there's certain numbers, you know,
they wouldn't go back.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
In for the rest room. Can you just sty did that?
Speaker 6 (16:22):
I actually was a little late to the show and
I had to just stand outside and just wait until
the big number open and then they let you.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Okay, here's the bad thing about the ten minutes into
the show thing. If I'm the person doing the solo
at ten minutes into the show and they're like, oh great,
I'm going to sing my song, it's time for them
to let all the late people while iren't performing. Am
I that bad? Don't deserve better a little break? Okay?
So A Juliette is on Broadway, You got to get
your tickets. How long are you both there?
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Do know?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I'm here till September thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (16:52):
Okay, well, well it all depends the nice thing about
what I'm doing is I get to have fun this
this past couple of years, I really have been like
just kind of picking and choosing things that I'm are.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
They about to let you go? Is that we're living?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
They keep extending me.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
That's the problem. So I'm actually possibly coming more times?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Can I say it?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Am I allowed to yell with people? Okay? Great?
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Because that first I was supposed to be done. But
now I'm actually coming all the way up to October thirty. First,
I'm going to be here until October. Yes, yes, so
I'm going to be here first sign I'm yes, I'm
gonna be there.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
UTIL negotiated that out, hold on and not all the
whole time. Let's be real.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
The cool thing is is me and Paula, who's the original.
We're gonna be bouncing back and forth and doing shows
like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's a lot of lips for me, guys.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
It's a lot of lips, you guys.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I have four different lances now.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Oh my gosh, Oh my god, that's kisser to me.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Okay, you know what's speaking of? Speaking of rating now
on a scale of one to ten to being the best,
how do you rate each other as actors? And how
do you rate each other?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Kidding me?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And how do you rate each other as singers?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Acting?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I think I would say one hundred ten.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I love I love the way you delivered things because
you delivered things so differently, and I love it because
it's it's it's so natural meaning singing though, sing singing though?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
What I'm laving this joint?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Like you serious?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You don't even know if I can singer?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Are you ready to hear?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's like a nine? I'm gonna be I'm gonna be honest.
So why is because I wouldn't give myself a nine
or ten either. I don't. I don't sang, I sing.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
You're very sassy up there, You're okay.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Here's the thing for me, and this is what I
have an issue with, Like art is subjective, and how
do we put a number?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
How do we put like? You can't? And who's like,
how do that's weird?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She's about to give you a four right now? That's okay?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
I don't give it, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Joey Forte singing, singing and acting ten, ten, nine, eight
sevens what you give me?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
For me, I've been uncomfortable. That's the way how I'm
not even uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
It's okay because you're you're so confident and that's exactly
what's most important, not what anybody thinks about what you're
doing or what you're not doing.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
But I think you're fabulous anyway, So your here we go.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Joey is so funny and so sweet and like just
a different take on Lance, and like I say, he's wild, Like.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I don't do it.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm just saying.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I did say that I've never done hardcore drugs in
my life, but like this is what I think hardcore.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Drugs and I've never done, never done how gore drugs either.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
This is fantastic.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
It was one of those things where it's like a
shot out of the cata. Really is my I don't know,
My take is completely different, really is because the character
that especially that that Lance plays is a very just
supposed to be a very stern man. I play a
little more comedic and I definitely do it. It's definitely
different than what people normally see. It's a horrible accent,
but it's more of an and the guy that the
actual vocal is more of an opera singer, so a
(19:54):
lot of it does vocal and it's completely like I said,
it's different from what I do.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'm not what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
We can't compare apples oranges different. The tree doesn't compare
to the flower, you know what I mean? Like it's
both beautiful and wonderful, and I don't. I just think
it's weird to comparison.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
We like comparisons. Really, you can't.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Some flowers you can smell, some flowers you can eat.
There you go, take with that what you will. That's
exactly right. Take it you want.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Okay, Chrissy mess would you either eat her or smell her?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
There you go, you start.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Her boyfriend. You will not answer the question. You will answer,
never answer.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Okay. Bottom line is here. Here, here's my take on
this show that I'm going to come see.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Sure, it's obvious they are very smart in who they
put into these roles because they know that you can
make it your own and there is no way to
compare air. It's apples and oranges because it's you. It's you,
and I think that's that's what makes this show magic.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Obviously, individuality, that's really what the show celebrates.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
It's not a cookie cookie cutter actor.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I want this person.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
It's yeah, it's nice to watch everybody flourish in the
way they do and their characters and how how it works.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's great. It's really cool. And we're getting some new people.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Coming into which is I'm going to miss Liam.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
He was my favorite Romeo.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Everybody, Yeah, Liam play Romeo. She knows all the names.
This is Liam's last week as Romeo. We miss you.
We're going to miss you. Liam. A lot of a
lot of people going.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Everybody is so talented, everybody on that stage.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Again, it's one of those things that you see all
the different Broadway shows, you know, and and and and
how hard work goes into it and how much love
and passion these people have for it. And sometimes these
shows go right up and come right back down, which
is crazy though. And you know, I'd love to figure
out and figure out a way to make everything all
affordable that people can actually live and work and stuff,
because now it's it's getting expensive. Things are getting pretty
pretty pretty high up in there. So we'll see hopefully.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Chrissy Mets and Joy foot Tone and Juliette on Broadway
where it is a lot of hard work. But the
cool thing about this show, I bet you, is that
they don't think about the hard work you put into it,
because it just looks like you're having fun and you're
really getting into it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I mean I am, no, I really am.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, No, I'm having the most fun I've.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Had a very well Welcome to New York City. Please
leave it the way you found it, when you'll take.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
It at llen B. I gotta take it at L
and B Smimoni Guards in Brooklyn. I gotta take you there.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I gotta take the L and B.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
We gotta go to Cody Island. We gotta go to Nathan's.
Gotta get your hot dog. We gotta go. We gotta
a couple different places better than I found that.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And you will and you and when you leave this room,
it'll be.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Better than an answer.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm trying to make up for these snipping versus taking
you guys for coming into that much any ovation
Speaker 3 (23:00):
A word to show exactly
