Now we're getting on into a new episode, and y'all know,
low Riders, how we start off our episodes. We always
check in behind the scenes of the grind. So I
am coming off of a very long but short weekend.
We still have not really stopped to take the rest
(00:44):
that y'all know that we need. We were in we
were at the Roots Picnic, So see a lot of
our content and conversations that we had and we hosted
here on the podcast in collaboration with the.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Roots Picnic and at and T still going viral.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
There was a report that I saw that a local Philly,
a local Philadelphia outlet did that talked about the Roots
Picnic and the amount of people that came out. So
there's a report that eighty thousand people that came out
throughout the festival weekend. I'm told it that eighty thousand
was split into forty k between the two like festival
concert days now, they did do the Roots like Roots
(01:24):
cond of like a conference surrounding the weekend, So like Friday,
there were live conversations, a comedy show that went down
that Black thought did I saw Dave Chappelle take the
stage there, But eighty thousand people is crazy. I mean
roots Picnic is roots Picnic. But of course if you
(01:45):
got jay Z coming somewhere and the people are gonna
come out. And from what I read in a report
and confirmed on my own, this was the largest weekend
in the Roots Picnic festival history. And this vessel has
been going on for some time now. And again I think,
as you know, people wanted to see jay Z. They
(02:05):
wanted to see him return to the stage. We had
no idea what was going to happen, as you guys
heard in some of the episodes here on the Lateis
with Law on the Rosa. Even the people on stage
with him, the Roots Quest Love Adam Blackstone, like they
didn't even know what was going to go down in
that stage. I mean they had practiced but they had
no idea about the afro, they had no idea about
the freestyle. So there was a lot of surprises and
(02:26):
a lot of moments that will live on in history period.
But to be there during the history making year, it's
something I will always remember. If you guys want to
go and check out that content, go and check out
some of our previous episodes, because it's all here. We
got it all right here at the Latest with Lauren
l Rosa the podcast, but coming off for Root's Picnic,
we went into our first live week.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Live on air with Netflix.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The Breakfast Club has just became Netflix's first daily live show,
and coming off of the Roots Picnic and going right
into the I feel like I barely sleep during the
week anyway because I'm up trying to make shot and
got everything. I'm organizing everything and all of the things. Yeah,
my body still hasn't caught up. And we just this
weekend did we shot a television show in DC. So
(03:17):
God has been like really really blessing me. You know,
we talk about this type of stuff all the time.
There was a message this morning that at my church,
my pastor was also his son who's a really good
friend of mine. Jerome Lewis Junior gave a gave a
sermon this morning about stewardship and about making sure you
(03:39):
take care of what God has given you so that
you can get to the next steps. And I really
feel like he spoke to me, like I promise you.
I think a lot of times we can get in
the motion of just like doing things just to get
through not doing them at the highest level, or just
because you're doing so much, just kind of being like,
oh my god, I'm tired, like finding ourselves complaining a bit.
(04:02):
And I always try and correct myself, whether it's here
during the behind the scenes of the ground checking or whatever,
when I'm talking about all of these things, no matter
how tired I am, I'm telling myself, Okay, you need
to learn to prioritize rest within all of this. But
also you gotta because you have to show up your
best at all of this, because when you show up
(04:24):
your best, you're stewarding it correctly. If you take care
of what God has already give you, there is more
to come, and more doesn't always look like a bunch
of new opportunities, and more can be just further excelling
in the opportunities that you already have. You know, your
ability to get rest within the opportunities that you have
because you're disciplined and you're carving out time and then
(04:45):
scheduling all those things. And I think I'm definitely getting
to the point where I feel like I'm doing a
lot better at all of those things, especially boundaries. That's
the biggest thing for me. Like learning that my discipline
and my boundaries go hand in hand was a huge
way of call for me. It's something that I've had
to like really stick to in order to steward what
God has given me, you know, and in the season
(05:08):
of my life. So yeah, I'm just we're going y'all.
And when this show that we shot in DC comes out,
I think it will it'll touch a lot of people.
And you talk about stewardship and understanding what God has
given you and the kind of some of the things
that you've been through and why God has placed you there.
That's the show that I shot this weekend speaks to that.
(05:29):
So I'm excited for you guys to get to see that.
But I can't release details now, but you know, I
will keep you updated on the latest when I can.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Speaking of the latest. Let's get on into it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So the seventy six Tony Awards went down. And for
those of you guys who've never watched the Tony Awards
award show, it is all about the theater, are okay?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It is all about the live performances.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The theater Broadway, the plays, the actors, the theatrics, the
live performances. Now, this year, I feel like I've spent
a lot of time paying attention to Broadway because there
are a lot of celebrities and a lot of pop
culture intertwined with with Broadway, which has always historically been
(06:13):
a thing, but I think it like m y uh,
it's it's happening so much this year. I know Tracy
Alischross is currently on Broadway, Trusta Thompson, Magda Saghian just
came off Broadway, and Zidler, Uh, I know Candy Birds
and uh you know Denzel Washington. They were doing everything
over there with Othello, uh Taraji p Henton, Taraji p
(06:37):
Hinton and uh Cedric the Entertainer currently on Broadway as well.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Like there's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So I I tuned into the Tony Awards this year
because I recently just came off of Broadway, not singing,
acting and performer, y'all okay, not yet, no, not doing that.
But I hosted a live talk back conversation with some
of the cast members of The Outsiders on Broadway, and
(07:04):
it was an amazing conversation. I think one of the
biggest things that you realize when you get into the
arts is how much the arts and representation, well, how
much the arts represent to so many different people, Like
people from all across the world come to Broadway and
it's one thing that, like it, no matter what's going
on in the world, unifies people. But also you realize
(07:26):
how representation within that matters. So I got a chance
to talk to three of the cast members of The Outsiders. Now,
what was so special about this was that my niece,
who was eleven years old, she came up to spend
the weekend with me. She's on her summer break and
she is just, you know, beginning to kind of have.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
A bug a bit for performance.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
She's like dance, she loves cheerleading, She's into like hair
and makeup and all these things. Now, so taking her
to Broadway, you know, with something that I've been telling
her that we needed to do her behind was late
for the play, so she did not get to actually
see the Outsiders, but she did get to see the
the talk back conversation you guys are about to.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Take a listen to.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And what was so special about it is the conversation
that that we hosted was all about like community and representation.
And I got a chance to talk to two of
that's actually two of the cast members and one of
the crew you know that worked backstage on wardrobing, and
you know some of the things. But my niece is
(08:29):
getting to look at you know, two black women who
are working on this huge production on Broadway and one
young man.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know that she.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Can look at it and be like, oh, they're just
like me. And there were a ton of other children
and families in the theater as well too. The theme
of the conversation, or the like focus of the conversation
was about identity, community, storytelling, and the connections that bring
people together on stage, behind stage, and beyond. So, you know,
(09:02):
as my niece gets older and she starts to kind
of understand what I do for work, things that can
really impact her as a person and make her, you know,
not make her, but help her become morally sound.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Those are the things I.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Love to to be able to feed into with her.
And when I was watching the Tony Awards tonight and
I saw Magda Stallion come out and open with Pink
and and and they're celebrating lead women in Broadway and
Meg the science that they're you know, representing for the
black women, I was proud of her.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Let's say, listen to meds so main.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I don't even know those guys. They were just two
strangers carrying some cake.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Anumber kneeses tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Quite well, we're going to be to bring community and
this the government.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And coming on stage and and presenting an award and
talking about what she learned on Broadway. This is a
young black girl from Houston who has lost her mother
and has been through so much publicly, still pushing through y'all,
Like I just, I mean, I look, anybody who has
(10:18):
ever been on Broadway understands how impact for it is.
But I think anybody who has ever wanted to do
anything in life and remember that you literally remember the
moment where you looked up and you were like that
person is just like me. So if they can do
what I can do, you know how special that is, so,
you know, in honor of the Tony Awards and all
(10:39):
of the winds and the celebrating that the people in
the arts community are doing right now, I want you
guys to take a listen to this live conversation that
I had on the stage of the Outsiders musical on
Broadway with some of the amazing black and brown people
who are involved in making that world go around over there.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Let's get on into it, but we can get right
into the questions.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And I want this to feel like a community conversation
because I know that that's what outside this is all about.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's about community and conversation.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Uh So the talk back is centered around community and
connection for you guys, and anyone.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Can take this question.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh wait, before we do the question, how about we
do some introductions That probably makes sense, right, all right,
So you guys introduced yourself and talk a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
About how you got involved in a theater.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I'm okay, well, but I played Johnny Kid, and I've
been doing theaters since I was a kid, middle school,
high school, some of my friends from middle.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
School or through the night, yeah, and went to college
rooms for theater and then my way here from New York. Hi, everybody,
my name is Naco Henry.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I played Ace in the show tonight, and and yeah,
I've been dancing and singing all of it from a
very young age. After college, moved right to New York
and I've been doing it ever since.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I agree, I'm a dresser on the show. And I
think that's the only question we asked, Like, Oly, yeah,
that is the only one. All right, So let's get started.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And that we've done the introductions, we've had the advertiser,
let's gettun entrap, all right. So the talk back that
we're about to do with Sin it on community and connection.
How important is it for you guys that have people
of color and our voices and perspective represented both on
stage and.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Behind the scenes and conversations like this. I think it's crucial.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Just last night, I got a message from a mom
my my background.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I'm Lebanies and Indo Caribbean, and she told me that.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
She brought her two songs to see the show and
they were just mind blown that there.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Was someone who looked like them on stage.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
In that meant a lot that she said, they didn't
even know this was a possibility.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
So seeing them see themselves reflected in a production like
this just open their eyes to.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Like what they can do.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
And I think I didn't have that as a kid,
so that was really important to me.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Yeah, in terms of on stage, I also think it's
extremely important given that we're talking about a story that
involves the hats.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
And have not right, We're talking about class.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
And I don't think we can talk about class without
also talking about race. So I think it's super awesome
to have that on stage. I think it makes it
way more real and it adds a lot of depth
to the play. And off stage it's so so important.
I mean, there's like I can talk Debri about hair
and things like that, and like she can kind of
know where I'm coming from, and we giggle about how
(13:45):
in the rumble scene, I wear a shower cap under my.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Wig because I'm not gonna have miss hair and I'm
not doing that. So we just love to laugh about
things like that.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
And it's nice to have like a sister kind of
friend that I can talk about things like.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That with the thinking someone to do is behind the scenes.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
It's incredibly important because at the end of the day,
everyone behind the scenes is also making the show.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Happen, and we.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Are support system for our actors, so it's very important.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And I think on top of that, I always think
about this.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
One memory that I had early at our run was
that all.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Of the Greasers were covered.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
By black people, and I remember they all were coming
down for Act two and I was like, oh my god,
wait go black people. But it was just like so
special getting to see people who look like me, like
walking down the stairs and like going to do this thing,
like this is the highest.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Caliber of fear that you could possibly do, and that
was just very special. Well, we talked a little bit
about representation.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I think for when I'm here from all of you guys,
it's a lot about like seeing is believing. I brought
my knees here today because I wanted her to see
that as well.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
She brought up you annoyed that I just did that.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
But I can't remember myself my first time ever coming
to Broadway.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
My little cousin, Oh she was in the Lion King,
and I remember feeling the same. You're like, oh my god,
I'm gonna go out nowhere. We're family, but like literally
like she is me and she's there, so it's possible.
So you specifically, remember your first time seeing someone.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Whether it was on Broadway or wherever where you were, like,
I can do this myself, and hey share that memory.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
So for Anext, I'm a huge Wicked fan. Wicked is
my favorite job all times. I've seen it way too
many times.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
That's not the point.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
But the first time I ever saw Wicket on Broadway,
I was very, very fortunate enough to see Lilly Cooper,
who was the standby at the time.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And she is black, and I was like, oh my god,
this is so exciting.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
And I didn't realize how important that was until years later,
where I realized like, oh, there has never been a.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Full time black alphabet until Black two three years ago,
two years ago, and I was like, okay, cool. I
think also on top of that, like after.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I saw Lily Cooper, I immediately went to my fair
like okay, So for the twentieth anniversary, I'm gonna be
the first black Alpha bat. I'm gonna graduate from college
or go right into Broadway, and so it's like just
like things like that.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I was like thirteen at.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
The time, and it was just so special getting to
see someone like me doing what I wanted to do.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, I remember I was obsessed with Rent as a kid.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
I saw it way too young.
Speaker 10 (16:24):
My mom didn't notice about when I was like side,
but we went to go see it in Chicago, and
I remember I hadn't gotten the chance to meet him
have but Justin Johnson was Angel on tour and on Broadway,
and I just remember watching him as Angel and just
being so enamored by him, Like watching it like like
a brown gay character as an eight year.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Old was really ugumented for me.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Yeah, I didn't have much access to Broadway in theater
where I was from. So I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, right
outside of Atlanta. Yeah, but I do remember the first
time I went away for like a summer intensive program
where I just spent the whole summer dancing, and I.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Spent it at the Alpine Ali American Dance Theater.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
And that's where I was like, oh my goodness, like
this is history, like seeing so many black dancers and
like the highest caliber of modern dance.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
That really inspired me. So I think that was the
first time I thought, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Could do this forever.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I love that. Thank y'all for sharing those personal moments.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Now, I mean the audience as I mentioned when you
guys sat down, Like, you guys do a lot of
work to pull up Broadway. So but like six seven
days a week, six days a week, yeah, eight shows
six days a week, a lot of rehearsals, a lot
of practices, and the audience only sees a final performance.
But there's so many people that are helping you guys
stay okay through all that, that are helping create the
(17:51):
energy of the show every night. Can you guys talk
a little bit about what that collaboration with me, the cast,
and the crew looks like. That makes the outsiders feel
so power our whole live because it's a lot of
the costill may and the you know the day, it's
the moments that help us feel so close to the story.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'll stage.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Yeah, just with in terms of the physicality, we have
an incredible physical therapist, Lucy Miller, and we also have
a doctor who works on the show, and we're always
in and out of her pet room.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
She's backstage the whole show upstairs. We go to her
before the show.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Also, our fight captains and our dancey captains, everyone in
charge of keeping it clean, and our company managers and
our stage managers.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Everyone there's so many people.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
I think I counted on my first day, we got
a face page and there was over one hundred and
twenty people outside of the cast that are involved in
the production, from the creative team to producers, to the
writers and so so many hands on the production.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
And everyone loves the show so much and cares about
the show.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
And I think that's that's really special that we all
collectively are like in it together, you know.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
Yeah, it really takes every single person in this building.
I mean after the big fight scene when we're all
soaking wet, sound has to take little like air little
guns just to like puff air out to get the
water out of our mic so that we can save
the finale otherwise, you know, our mics are clogged with water. Like.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
There's just so many little details, right, and then hair
and makeup, how Johnny has these very realistic looking cuts
and bruises throughout the show as well as Dallas, and
we have little blood packs backstage that we.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Use during a fight. Like It's truly so intricate and
it's really awesome to be a part of. And that's
just the people who work during the show. We have
people who come in like on the wardrobe team.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
We have people come in every morning from like eight
to twelve I think, and they are just pressing all.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Of the shirts.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
The actors have like multiple sets of all of their
costumes and think each of you guys has four or
something like that, and they come in and they press
whatever went through the rumble.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
The next day it gets rotated, and they do it
every single day.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
There's a lot of work that goes in just everywhere,
but in costumes there's a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What about I mean, so we see the physical right
like all of the makeup and accustom and well what
about the internal because there the story of the Outsiders
is one there's a lot of classism and you know,
different things that I'm sure cause conversation amongst you guys
and maybe thoughts other people that.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Also help you internally, like mentally guide.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Through this process as well too, as those things are
coming up and those villains are coming out.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Definitely.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
While I will say at the beginning of each show,
we have a circle up where we all right behind
you know, scrim We're standing in a circle.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
We have like a word for the show that I'm
a pitman cherry.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
She has this little like stack of angel cards that
there's a word, and we all try to really ground ourselves,
to make eye contact with each other, take some deep
breaths together because obviously what we're.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
About to go through is very intense.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
And when we started this process, we were all encouraged
by the creative team to have like not just a
physical cool down, but also an emotional cool down or
like a tapping out of it so that you can
stay disconnected from your character when you leave the building as.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Much as you can. So yeah, good to know.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Okay, Well, next question, what has it meant to you
guys to participate in conversations like this that are intentional
about creating space for black audiences, audiences of color, to
engage with Broadway in a different way, or you know,
like you say, maybe for the first time, this is
someone's first Broadway.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Experience ever, and then they get to have a conversation
with you guys who are part of the show. What
has it been like being a part of these.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
I think it's such a blessing because growing up I
didn't have that a lot of other people didn't have that,
and I think that there's so many young artists out
there who don't even know that they're artists yet, and
they think that the sooner they can realize it, the
longer they have to like hone those skills and get
started on building whatever craft that they're doing. And I
feel like that's such an honor to be able to
(21:48):
show them like little limits of what they might have
in themselves that they don't even see it.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I also do social media for this show, and it's
been really wonderful getting to get I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Like my experience working on a Broadway show, because I
was the kid who was like trying to find anything
and everything about working in theater and so getting to.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Be that person for people who look like me is
just been so full circle and I just it's really special.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, I mean, I know for me watching you guys
on stage, one of the things that I'm always thinking
about is what you guys are.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Your characters are so big. You guys have such big.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Personalities to get the characters when you're auditioning, What is
your life like outside of here?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Guy?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Once you take a real break and maybe you get
that one day off, what do you guys do in
your free time?
Speaker 9 (22:37):
My goodness, Well, it's a limited amount of time because
you have to do your life stuff like your laundry,
and you gotta clean and dish all those things. But
then also you want to see your friends, you know,
other people that are special to you in your life.
So I try as much as I can to keep
a balance. I try to see friends throughout the week,
whether it's for a quick coffee or for a quick
bite after a show. But also so I have to
(23:00):
protect my voice and my body right, so I have
I can't talk too much after a show, and I
have to make sure that I, you know, do in
my pilates classes whenever it takes, so that I don't
get injured. Like it's truly never enough time. But I
feel like this is my third Broadway show, but I
think I'm finally starting to.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Understand how to fit it all in and how to
make it all work. Yeah, I'm struggling with that. I
think it's hard.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Just yeah, it's every I feel like everything I eat,
everything I say, it all affects what's gonna happen in
the performance.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
So it's a lot of like saying right now, it's
like being too afraid to hang out, so having to
say no to a lot of friends and not having
that much of a social life. It's a sacrifice that
you have to make. My mom always says that she
was like her son is like a monk or something,
because like I can't talk like bull FaceTime, and I'll.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Just be staring at her like naughty like things like that.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Because like my voice, like we were trained to sing,
so we don't lose it singing, but I lose my
voice talking a lot.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Like outside of the show. So that's scary to navigate. Yeah,
I just try to have some grace for myself, Like
I am a very busy person just in general.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Okay, ooh, I'm not in the show, but no, I
love I try to have grace for myself first, Like
I make to do this.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I'm really big on this, so like making sure, like
these are the things I have to get done.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I'm going to make sure I do these things in
order in that way. And then sometimes there are days
where I'm like, Okay.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
I need to do all these things, but do I
really have to do all these things right now? Or
can I spread them out through the week. And if
I end up spreading them out through the week, I
really just am patient with myself, Like today's a rat day,
and that's just what it's gonna have to be.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I'm being okay with that.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, listen, I can identify there's a lot happening really
fast over on the riding side of things for me,
and I can.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Feel it where you're like, you want to go out,
you want to have a guy, you're young.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Is a great experience, but you also are protecting what
your works basics, like what you guys have done.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
To a job at it right they're doing a baby.
So congratulations to you guys. Another perspects to show.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Now we're getting on into a new episode, and y'all know,
low Riders, how we start off our episodes. We always
check in behind the scenes of the grind. So I
am coming off of a very long but short weekend.
We still have not really stopped to take the rest
(00:44):
that y'all know that we need. We were in we
were at the Roots Picnic, So see a lot of
our content and conversations that we had and we hosted
here on the podcast in collaboration with the.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Roots Picnic and at and T still going viral.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
There was a report that I saw that a local Philly,
a local Philadelphia outlet did that talked about the Roots
Picnic and the amount of people that came out. So
there's a report that eighty thousand people that came out
throughout the festival weekend. I'm told it that eighty thousand
was split into forty k between the two like festival
concert days now, they did do the Roots like Roots
(01:24):
cond of like a conference surrounding the weekend, So like Friday,
there were live conversations, a comedy show that went down
that Black thought did I saw Dave Chappelle take the
stage there, But eighty thousand people is crazy. I mean
roots Picnic is roots Picnic. But of course if you
(01:45):
got jay Z coming somewhere and the people are gonna
come out. And from what I read in a report
and confirmed on my own, this was the largest weekend
in the Roots Picnic festival history. And this vessel has
been going on for some time now. And again I think,
as you know, people wanted to see jay Z. They
(02:05):
wanted to see him return to the stage. We had
no idea what was going to happen, as you guys
heard in some of the episodes here on the Lateis
with Law on the Rosa. Even the people on stage
with him, the Roots Quest Love Adam Blackstone, like they
didn't even know what was going to go down in
that stage. I mean they had practiced but they had
no idea about the afro, they had no idea about
the freestyle. So there was a lot of surprises and
(02:26):
a lot of moments that will live on in history period.
But to be there during the history making year, it's
something I will always remember. If you guys want to
go and check out that content, go and check out
some of our previous episodes, because it's all here. We
got it all right here at the Latest with Lauren
l Rosa the podcast, but coming off for Root's Picnic,
we went into our first live week.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Live on air with Netflix.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
The Breakfast Club has just became Netflix's first daily live show,
and coming off of the Roots Picnic and going right
into the I feel like I barely sleep during the
week anyway because I'm up trying to make shot and
got everything. I'm organizing everything and all of the things. Yeah,
my body still hasn't caught up. And we just this
weekend did we shot a television show in DC. So
(03:17):
God has been like really really blessing me. You know,
we talk about this type of stuff all the time.
There was a message this morning that at my church,
my pastor was also his son who's a really good
friend of mine. Jerome Lewis Junior gave a gave a
sermon this morning about stewardship and about making sure you
(03:39):
take care of what God has given you so that
you can get to the next steps. And I really
feel like he spoke to me, like I promise you.
I think a lot of times we can get in
the motion of just like doing things just to get
through not doing them at the highest level, or just
because you're doing so much, just kind of being like,
oh my god, I'm tired, like finding ourselves complaining a bit.
(04:02):
And I always try and correct myself, whether it's here
during the behind the scenes of the ground checking or whatever,
when I'm talking about all of these things, no matter
how tired I am, I'm telling myself, Okay, you need
to learn to prioritize rest within all of this. But
also you gotta because you have to show up your
best at all of this, because when you show up
(04:24):
your best, you're stewarding it correctly. If you take care
of what God has already give you, there is more
to come, and more doesn't always look like a bunch
of new opportunities, and more can be just further excelling
in the opportunities that you already have. You know, your
ability to get rest within the opportunities that you have
because you're disciplined and you're carving out time and then
(04:45):
scheduling all those things. And I think I'm definitely getting
to the point where I feel like I'm doing a
lot better at all of those things, especially boundaries. That's
the biggest thing for me. Like learning that my discipline
and my boundaries go hand in hand was a huge
way of call for me. It's something that I've had
to like really stick to in order to steward what
God has given me, you know, and in the season
(05:08):
of my life. So yeah, I'm just we're going y'all.
And when this show that we shot in DC comes out,
I think it will it'll touch a lot of people.
And you talk about stewardship and understanding what God has
given you and the kind of some of the things
that you've been through and why God has placed you there.
That's the show that I shot this weekend speaks to that.
(05:29):
So I'm excited for you guys to get to see that.
But I can't release details now, but you know, I
will keep you updated on the latest when I can.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Speaking of the latest. Let's get on into it.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So the seventy six Tony Awards went down. And for
those of you guys who've never watched the Tony Awards
award show, it is all about the theater, are okay?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It is all about the live performances.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The theater Broadway, the plays, the actors, the theatrics, the
live performances. Now, this year, I feel like I've spent
a lot of time paying attention to Broadway because there
are a lot of celebrities and a lot of pop
culture intertwined with with Broadway, which has always historically been
(06:13):
a thing, but I think it like m y uh,
it's it's happening so much this year. I know Tracy
Alischross is currently on Broadway, Trusta Thompson, Magda Saghian just
came off Broadway, and Zidler, Uh, I know Candy Birds
and uh you know Denzel Washington. They were doing everything
over there with Othello, uh Taraji p Henton, Taraji p
(06:37):
Hinton and uh Cedric the Entertainer currently on Broadway as well.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Like there's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So I I tuned into the Tony Awards this year
because I recently just came off of Broadway, not singing,
acting and performer, y'all okay, not yet, no, not doing that.
But I hosted a live talk back conversation with some
of the cast members of The Outsiders on Broadway, and
(07:04):
it was an amazing conversation. I think one of the
biggest things that you realize when you get into the
arts is how much the arts and representation, well, how
much the arts represent to so many different people, Like
people from all across the world come to Broadway and
it's one thing that, like it, no matter what's going
on in the world, unifies people. But also you realize
(07:26):
how representation within that matters. So I got a chance
to talk to three of the cast members of The Outsiders. Now,
what was so special about this was that my niece,
who was eleven years old, she came up to spend
the weekend with me. She's on her summer break and
she is just, you know, beginning to kind of have.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
A bug a bit for performance.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
She's like dance, she loves cheerleading, She's into like hair
and makeup and all these things. Now, so taking her
to Broadway, you know, with something that I've been telling
her that we needed to do her behind was late
for the play, so she did not get to actually
see the Outsiders, but she did get to see the
the talk back conversation you guys are about to.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Take a listen to.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And what was so special about it is the conversation
that that we hosted was all about like community and representation.
And I got a chance to talk to two of
that's actually two of the cast members and one of
the crew you know that worked backstage on wardrobing, and
you know some of the things. But my niece is
(08:29):
getting to look at you know, two black women who
are working on this huge production on Broadway and one
young man.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know that she.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Can look at it and be like, oh, they're just
like me. And there were a ton of other children
and families in the theater as well too. The theme
of the conversation, or the like focus of the conversation
was about identity, community, storytelling, and the connections that bring
people together on stage, behind stage, and beyond. So, you know,
(09:02):
as my niece gets older and she starts to kind
of understand what I do for work, things that can
really impact her as a person and make her, you know,
not make her, but help her become morally sound.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Those are the things I.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Love to to be able to feed into with her.
And when I was watching the Tony Awards tonight and
I saw Magda Stallion come out and open with Pink
and and and they're celebrating lead women in Broadway and
Meg the science that they're you know, representing for the
black women, I was proud of her.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Let's say, listen to meds so main.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I don't even know those guys. They were just two
strangers carrying some cake.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Anumber kneeses tonight.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Quite well, we're going to be to bring community and
this the government.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And coming on stage and and presenting an award and
talking about what she learned on Broadway. This is a
young black girl from Houston who has lost her mother
and has been through so much publicly, still pushing through y'all,
Like I just, I mean, I look, anybody who has
(10:18):
ever been on Broadway understands how impact for it is.
But I think anybody who has ever wanted to do
anything in life and remember that you literally remember the
moment where you looked up and you were like that
person is just like me. So if they can do
what I can do, you know how special that is, so,
you know, in honor of the Tony Awards and all
(10:39):
of the winds and the celebrating that the people in
the arts community are doing right now, I want you
guys to take a listen to this live conversation that
I had on the stage of the Outsiders musical on
Broadway with some of the amazing black and brown people
who are involved in making that world go around over there.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Let's get on into it, but we can get right
into the questions.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And I want this to feel like a community conversation
because I know that that's what outside this is all about.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's about community and conversation.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Uh So the talk back is centered around community and
connection for you guys, and anyone.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Can take this question.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Oh wait, before we do the question, how about we
do some introductions That probably makes sense, right, all right,
So you guys introduced yourself and talk a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
About how you got involved in a theater.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I'm okay, well, but I played Johnny Kid, and I've
been doing theaters since I was a kid, middle school,
high school, some of my friends from middle.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
School or through the night, yeah, and went to college
rooms for theater and then my way here from New York. Hi, everybody,
my name is Naco Henry.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I played Ace in the show tonight, and and yeah,
I've been dancing and singing all of it from a
very young age. After college, moved right to New York
and I've been doing it ever since.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I agree, I'm a dresser on the show. And I
think that's the only question we asked, Like, Oly, yeah,
that is the only one. All right, So let's get started.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And that we've done the introductions, we've had the advertiser,
let's gettun entrap, all right. So the talk back that
we're about to do with Sin it on community and connection.
How important is it for you guys that have people
of color and our voices and perspective represented both on
stage and.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Behind the scenes and conversations like this. I think it's crucial.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Just last night, I got a message from a mom
my my background.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I'm Lebanies and Indo Caribbean, and she told me that.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
She brought her two songs to see the show and
they were just mind blown that there.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Was someone who looked like them on stage.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
In that meant a lot that she said, they didn't
even know this was a possibility.
Speaker 8 (12:58):
So seeing them see themselves reflected in a production like
this just open their eyes to.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Like what they can do.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
And I think I didn't have that as a kid,
so that was really important to me.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Yeah, in terms of on stage, I also think it's
extremely important given that we're talking about a story that
involves the hats.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
And have not right, We're talking about class.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
And I don't think we can talk about class without
also talking about race. So I think it's super awesome
to have that on stage. I think it makes it
way more real and it adds a lot of depth
to the play. And off stage it's so so important.
I mean, there's like I can talk Debri about hair
and things like that, and like she can kind of
know where I'm coming from, and we giggle about how
(13:45):
in the rumble scene, I wear a shower cap under my.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Wig because I'm not gonna have miss hair and I'm
not doing that. So we just love to laugh about
things like that.
Speaker 9 (13:53):
And it's nice to have like a sister kind of
friend that I can talk about things like.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That with the thinking someone to do is behind the scenes.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
It's incredibly important because at the end of the day,
everyone behind the scenes is also making the show.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Happen, and we.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Are support system for our actors, so it's very important.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
And I think on top of that, I always think
about this.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
One memory that I had early at our run was
that all.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Of the Greasers were covered.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
By black people, and I remember they all were coming
down for Act two and I was like, oh my god,
wait go black people. But it was just like so
special getting to see people who look like me, like
walking down the stairs and like going to do this thing,
like this is the highest.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Caliber of fear that you could possibly do, and that
was just very special. Well, we talked a little bit
about representation.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I think for when I'm here from all of you guys,
it's a lot about like seeing is believing. I brought
my knees here today because I wanted her to see
that as well.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
She brought up you annoyed that I just did that.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
But I can't remember myself my first time ever coming
to Broadway.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
My little cousin, Oh she was in the Lion King,
and I remember feeling the same. You're like, oh my god,
I'm gonna go out nowhere. We're family, but like literally
like she is me and she's there, so it's possible.
So you specifically, remember your first time seeing someone.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Whether it was on Broadway or wherever where you were, like,
I can do this myself, and hey share that memory.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
So for Anext, I'm a huge Wicked fan. Wicked is
my favorite job all times. I've seen it way too
many times.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
That's not the point.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
But the first time I ever saw Wicket on Broadway,
I was very, very fortunate enough to see Lilly Cooper,
who was the standby at the time.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And she is black, and I was like, oh my god,
this is so exciting.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
And I didn't realize how important that was until years later,
where I realized like, oh, there has never been a.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Full time black alphabet until Black two three years ago,
two years ago, and I was like, okay, cool. I
think also on top of that, like after.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
I saw Lily Cooper, I immediately went to my fair
like okay, So for the twentieth anniversary, I'm gonna be
the first black Alpha bat. I'm gonna graduate from college
or go right into Broadway, and so it's like just
like things like that.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I was like thirteen at.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
The time, and it was just so special getting to
see someone like me doing what I wanted to do.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, I remember I was obsessed with Rent as a kid.
Speaker 8 (16:23):
I saw it way too young.
Speaker 10 (16:24):
My mom didn't notice about when I was like side,
but we went to go see it in Chicago, and
I remember I hadn't gotten the chance to meet him
have but Justin Johnson was Angel on tour and on Broadway,
and I just remember watching him as Angel and just
being so enamored by him, Like watching it like like
a brown gay character as an eight year.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Old was really ugumented for me.
Speaker 9 (16:44):
Yeah, I didn't have much access to Broadway in theater
where I was from. So I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, right
outside of Atlanta. Yeah, but I do remember the first
time I went away for like a summer intensive program
where I just spent the whole summer dancing, and I.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Spent it at the Alpine Ali American Dance Theater.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
And that's where I was like, oh my goodness, like
this is history, like seeing so many black dancers and
like the highest caliber of modern dance.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
That really inspired me. So I think that was the
first time I thought, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Could do this forever.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
I love that. Thank y'all for sharing those personal moments.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Now, I mean the audience as I mentioned when you
guys sat down, Like, you guys do a lot of
work to pull up Broadway. So but like six seven
days a week, six days a week, yeah, eight shows
six days a week, a lot of rehearsals, a lot
of practices, and the audience only sees a final performance.
But there's so many people that are helping you guys
stay okay through all that, that are helping create the
(17:51):
energy of the show every night. Can you guys talk
a little bit about what that collaboration with me, the cast,
and the crew looks like. That makes the outsiders feel
so power our whole live because it's a lot of
the costill may and the you know the day, it's
the moments that help us feel so close to the story.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I'll stage.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Yeah, just with in terms of the physicality, we have
an incredible physical therapist, Lucy Miller, and we also have
a doctor who works on the show, and we're always
in and out of her pet room.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
She's backstage the whole show upstairs. We go to her
before the show.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Also, our fight captains and our dancey captains, everyone in
charge of keeping it clean, and our company managers and
our stage managers.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Everyone there's so many people.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
I think I counted on my first day, we got
a face page and there was over one hundred and
twenty people outside of the cast that are involved in
the production, from the creative team to producers, to the
writers and so so many hands on the production.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
And everyone loves the show so much and cares about
the show.
Speaker 8 (18:45):
And I think that's that's really special that we all
collectively are like in it together, you know.
Speaker 9 (18:51):
Yeah, it really takes every single person in this building.
I mean after the big fight scene when we're all
soaking wet, sound has to take little like air little
guns just to like puff air out to get the
water out of our mic so that we can save
the finale otherwise, you know, our mics are clogged with water. Like.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
There's just so many little details, right, and then hair
and makeup, how Johnny has these very realistic looking cuts
and bruises throughout the show as well as Dallas, and
we have little blood packs backstage that we.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Use during a fight. Like It's truly so intricate and
it's really awesome to be a part of. And that's
just the people who work during the show. We have
people who come in like on the wardrobe team.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
We have people come in every morning from like eight
to twelve I think, and they are just pressing all.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Of the shirts.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
The actors have like multiple sets of all of their
costumes and think each of you guys has four or
something like that, and they come in and they press
whatever went through the rumble.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
The next day it gets rotated, and they do it
every single day.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
There's a lot of work that goes in just everywhere,
but in costumes there's a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
What about I mean, so we see the physical right
like all of the makeup and accustom and well what
about the internal because there the story of the Outsiders
is one there's a lot of classism and you know,
different things that I'm sure cause conversation amongst you guys
and maybe thoughts other people that.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Also help you internally, like mentally guide.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Through this process as well too, as those things are
coming up and those villains are coming out.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Definitely.
Speaker 9 (20:22):
While I will say at the beginning of each show,
we have a circle up where we all right behind
you know, scrim We're standing in a circle.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
We have like a word for the show that I'm
a pitman cherry.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
She has this little like stack of angel cards that
there's a word, and we all try to really ground ourselves,
to make eye contact with each other, take some deep
breaths together because obviously what we're.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
About to go through is very intense.
Speaker 9 (20:47):
And when we started this process, we were all encouraged
by the creative team to have like not just a
physical cool down, but also an emotional cool down or
like a tapping out of it so that you can
stay disconnected from your character when you leave the building as.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
Much as you can. So yeah, good to know.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Okay, Well, next question, what has it meant to you
guys to participate in conversations like this that are intentional
about creating space for black audiences, audiences of color, to
engage with Broadway in a different way, or you know,
like you say, maybe for the first time, this is
someone's first Broadway.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Experience ever, and then they get to have a conversation
with you guys who are part of the show. What
has it been like being a part of these.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
I think it's such a blessing because growing up I
didn't have that a lot of other people didn't have that,
and I think that there's so many young artists out
there who don't even know that they're artists yet, and
they think that the sooner they can realize it, the
longer they have to like hone those skills and get
started on building whatever craft that they're doing. And I
feel like that's such an honor to be able to
(21:48):
show them like little limits of what they might have
in themselves that they don't even see it.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I also do social media for this show, and it's
been really wonderful getting to get I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Like my experience working on a Broadway show, because I
was the kid who was like trying to find anything
and everything about working in theater and so getting to.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Be that person for people who look like me is
just been so full circle and I just it's really special.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, I mean, I know for me watching you guys
on stage, one of the things that I'm always thinking
about is what you guys are.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Your characters are so big. You guys have such big.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Personalities to get the characters when you're auditioning, What is
your life like outside of here?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Guy?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Once you take a real break and maybe you get
that one day off, what do you guys do in
your free time?
Speaker 9 (22:37):
My goodness, Well, it's a limited amount of time because
you have to do your life stuff like your laundry,
and you gotta clean and dish all those things. But
then also you want to see your friends, you know,
other people that are special to you in your life.
So I try as much as I can to keep
a balance. I try to see friends throughout the week,
whether it's for a quick coffee or for a quick
bite after a show. But also so I have to
(23:00):
protect my voice and my body right, so I have
I can't talk too much after a show, and I
have to make sure that I, you know, do in
my pilates classes whenever it takes, so that I don't
get injured. Like it's truly never enough time. But I
feel like this is my third Broadway show, but I
think I'm finally starting to.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
Understand how to fit it all in and how to
make it all work. Yeah, I'm struggling with that. I
think it's hard.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Just yeah, it's every I feel like everything I eat,
everything I say, it all affects what's gonna happen in
the performance.
Speaker 7 (23:35):
So it's a lot of like saying right now, it's
like being too afraid to hang out, so having to
say no to a lot of friends and not having
that much of a social life. It's a sacrifice that
you have to make. My mom always says that she
was like her son is like a monk or something,
because like I can't talk like bull FaceTime, and I'll.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Just be staring at her like naughty like things like that.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Because like my voice, like we were trained to sing,
so we don't lose it singing, but I lose my
voice talking a lot.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
Like outside of the show. So that's scary to navigate. Yeah,
I just try to have some grace for myself, Like
I am a very busy person just in general.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Okay, ooh, I'm not in the show, but no, I
love I try to have grace for myself first, Like
I make to do this.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I'm really big on this, so like making sure, like
these are the things I have to get done.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
I'm going to make sure I do these things in
order in that way. And then sometimes there are days
where I'm like, Okay.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
I need to do all these things, but do I
really have to do all these things right now? Or
can I spread them out through the week. And if
I end up spreading them out through the week, I
really just am patient with myself, Like today's a rat day,
and that's just what it's gonna have to be.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I'm being okay with that.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, listen, I can identify there's a lot happening really
fast over on the riding side of things for me,
and I can.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Feel it where you're like, you want to go out,
you want to have a guy, you're young.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Is a great experience, but you also are protecting what
your works basics, like what you guys have done.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
To a job at it right they're doing a baby.
So congratulations to you guys. Another perspects to show.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
