Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome. Look'm wok come
in his time now for your community connection right here on K one, the
one you trust. And we got the Bartwell High School kids in here today,
I should say young adults because they are thank you miss Walking for bringing
them in, shepherding and being such a good mentor. We've got anything goes,
all the chaos, Catherine, So anything goes. It's a Cold Porter
musical. So it's got lots of jazz music, lots of funky music.
And the plot is a little difficult to explain because anything goes because anything goes.
But to summarize it, basically, all these people find themselves on the
USS American, so an ocean liner going to London, and they're all there
for different reason. And so I'm a nightclub singer. I play Reno Sweeney,
so I'm there with my angels, my backup dancers, and we're just
there to perform. Billy's there because he's in love with Hope, so he's
stowing away to be with her. Hope is engaged and her mother's there with
her. Moonface Martin over here, he's illegally there and he's a gangster public
enemy number thirteen, and chaos ensues, and there's love triangles and epic dance
numbers and anything goes moon. You got me with the name. What's going
on here? So basically, I'm just a gangster who's trying to get out
of where I'm at with my kind of sidekick, Irma, and she's she's
in a relationship with Public Enemy number one, Snake Eyes Johnson, and I'm
basically just trying to get her to England and I'm trying to keep a little
profile. But as yeah happens, and well, nothing goes to plan at
all, I have to change everything up. Well, Carter, I thought
you were coming in as the captain wearing that hat. I am not.
I am Billy Crocker. I Uh. I board the ship to give my
boss his passport because I forgot to give it to him, and I see
Hope on the ship, which we'd met a couple of weeks ago, and
I decide that I'm just gonna sew away on the ship and I take Snake
Eyes Johnson's passport and ticket. So now everyone thinks that I am Snake Eyes
Johnson and I am Public Enemy number one, and it just turns into a
whole bunch of lies and just a whole big mess. But will it work
out in the end. I guess we'll have to wait and see. All
right, Well, Kate, tell us a little bit about your part.
Yeah, so I'm on the ship with my mom and this wealthy British man
that my mom's making me marry and absolutely not. And very early on,
Hope starts falling in love with Billy and so she's got to make this decision
for herself to choose like her mother's happiness or her own. And it's a
very funny musical, but I feel like Hope brings a lot of heart to
it. Good. You gotta have that going on. Yeah, so this
is really gonna be a lot of fun. This is a big song and
dance deal and this really goes back to, you know, the the mid
part of the last century. Now, was it tough kind of understanding some
of the references. It's it's a little tough. There's some references that are
just very very old, like about a century watch it. I'm talking nineteen
thirties references. So I feel like I can say this but say a lot
of us that we we've had to kind of research some of these, so
you got a history lesson out of it. We can understand some of these
references. And what machine gun Kelly, did you look the machine gun up?
I knew that guy because he's pretty No, but there's he's a real
one of the songs You're the Top, it's basically yes, references me and
Catherine seeing you're the top, and we're basically telling we're trying to explain why
the other person is like better, and we're cheering them up. So like
you're the top, you're blank and blank and blank, and it's just a
bunch of references of like cool things or cool people and we didn't know any
of them. Oh, completely completely, Eli, Now Carterner would have liked
to see a look on your face when you ran across a few of those
names. Yeah, but you carried it off right. Yeah. Yeah,
we've got it all. I think we've got it pretty well down now,
so we're excited to show it to everyone now. Kate, you've played a
variety of different roles. This one is a kind of sweet for you,
isn't it It is? Yeah, I've played I've played some really extroverted roles.
My very first role was the Genie in Aladdin, which is surprising to
a lot of people because I'm like kind of quiet, but it was very
energetic as a kid. So I feel like this is kind of a good
balance. It's a really good fit for me because Hope is very sweet,
but she's kind of got an attitude, especially when it comes to Billy.
She's kind of kind of yeah it is, yeah, can be can be
a pain sometimes, so Hope knows how to deal with him. So being
a gangster, do you feel type cast here? You know, because you
don't seem like the gangster type. Really. I know. This is actually
my first ever show, so okay, here you go. But I do
love the gangster aesthetic. I think it's very funny to be like over the
top gangster. Like a lot of my where I get my energy from,
I get it from the Penguin, from like yeah it's good. She's basically
I kind of get some of those mannerisms from from that character, and I
basically just carry it over to this very He thinks he's so cool, but
he really just isn't answered and he just he just wants to be this really
awesome, dangerous guy, but he just he just can't he just can't be
Now, Catherine, you played a Brazilian role. Now this one kind of
wraps a lot of them all up in one, doesn't it. Yeah,
it really does. I was. I was very excited about this role.
I went I went into this audition and I knew exactly who I wanted to
be, and I was I was so excited because it's my senior year,
go out with the bang, with the big lead. And she's just she's
saucy, and she knows exactly what she wants and even if she doesn't get
it, she's kind and she's a good friend to Billy because at the beginning
of the story, she's in love with Billy and he's like, oh,
I love Hope, and I'm like, Okay, it's fine, I'll support
you because you're like my best friend. And she just she knows exactly who
she is and she's a saucy nightclub singer and she's got great dance numbers,
great singing, and I'm very excited about this character. Well, Carter,
this is a long way from squid Word and Donkey is Yes, definitely,
I've been cast as a bunch of very extroverted roles. I wouldn't say that
this is that Billy is introverted, but he's definitely a lot more tame than
my other roles that I've played. So I don't have four legs and I
don't wear a giant donkey costume. So yeah, but I love this role.
It's he's sweet, he's very driven, and I mean, he knows
that he wants hope and he's gonna get hope. He doesn't nothing stops him.
So it sounds like you're right there and across. So how do you
this is this part? How does this typify some of the things that you've
done, and what did you incorporate to put this role together? So I
watched the musical for the first time, and I knew immediately that I wanted
to be Hope, just because she's she's very sweet, and she cares a
lot about her mother and her fiance's feelings, Like you know, she's in
love with Billy. Complicated cool, very very complicated. She's very torn throughout
most of the musical, and so yeah, she cares a lot about her
mother's happiness but also her fiance's feelings, Like she doesn't want to go for
Billy because she cares about her fiance still so she's very complicated. Wow.
