WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm going Boston's news radio thank again, Walkin's final hour

2
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:15.039
<v Speaker 1>of night Side. And I saw this musical when it

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>played in Boston in nineteen ninety seven. The Wang Theater

4
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>then it's now called the Bach Center is where it played,

5
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and I was just perplexed. How could they have a

6
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>musical about the Titanic, because when you think of musicals,

7
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>you think of festive, happy happenings. I did. I did

8
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 1>like it. I saw it, and I wasn't as perplexed

9
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>after I saw it. It's back. I'm not talking about

10
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 1>the event at the Castle in Boston where they've got

11
00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>artifacts from the original Titanic on display. This is the

12
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>musical that first played in the nineties. I think it's

13
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>one four or five Tony's over the years, and I've

14
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>got one of the gentlemen who will be in it.

15
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be playing at the North Through Music

16
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Theater from the twenty ninth of October to the tenth

17
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:35.920
<v Speaker 1>of November. So everybody, you can applaud at home, and

18
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>he'll pretend you can hear all of you. Kevin McGlenn

19
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 1>is here, Kevin, good evening to.

20
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>You, good evening. How are you all right?

21
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>My in studio producer.

22
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 2>N I can I can barely hear you over the applause.

23
00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, it was thunderous, thunderous. So now, what what

24
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>role you playing?

25
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I play Isidor Strauss, who was one of the co

26
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>owners of Macy's with his brother Nathan, and I'm accompanied

27
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 2>on the journey by my wife Ida, played by Broadways

28
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Mary Callanan.

29
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 1>And in nineteen twelve, did you and Mary survive? Did

30
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Mary just survive? Did you just survive or both perished?

31
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean it's not like people don't know the

32
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>end of the story, but both Ida and is Adoor perished.

33
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 2>He refused to get on a lifeboat while there were

34
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>still women and children on board, and she refused. She

35
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 2>refused to get off. She'd get into a lifeboat without him.

36
00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's like a couple. When we saw the movie,

37
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 1>they just stayed in bed as the water is flooding

38
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 1>into their room.

39
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Correct, Maybe not.

40
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 1>That ending for the two that you just mentioned, but

41
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>they didn't want to leave each other.

42
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>No, that is how they're depicted in the nineteen ninety

43
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>seven movie. But from all accounts, they were still on

44
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 2>deck when the ship went down. From the survivors from

45
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.120
<v Speaker 2>other survivor's accounts.

46
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Now, it sounds like you have played this role this

47
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>musical in the past.

48
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I've done this musical in the past, but not this

49
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>role in the past. I originally did the show in

50
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and one. I believe that the now defunct

51
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Worcester Foothills Theater. Okay, and I played Thomas Andrews, who

52
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>was the architect of the ship.

53
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, when you saw the movie, you

54
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>were kind of a fan of his, And I still

55
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 1>remember the line he said, I'm sorry I didn't build

56
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>your stronger ship, young Rose.

57
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Andrews says, yeah.

58
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Andrew says that to.

59
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Kate. Yeah, Kate wins, Yeah, yeah. He I think he

60
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>felt completely responsible because well, you know, as they claimed

61
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>it was unthinkable, and they they made that claim because

62
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 2>of the watertight compartments and there were sixteen of them,

63
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 2>and that they would be able to shut them off

64
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 2>from each other so that wouldn't overflow. But because of

65
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the way the ship hit the iceberg on the side,

66
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, it just it just ripped right into the side.

67
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 2>And it's commonly believed had they steered directly into the

68
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>iceberg and took on head on, then they would they

69
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 2>would not have sunk, or they wouldn't have lost so

70
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 2>many lives because not as many compartments would have flooded.

71
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Right, So you've become a Titanic historian despite.

72
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, because it's the second time I've done it. I'm

73
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of a kind of a research guy. So I

74
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 2>like to you know, especially if it's a real person.

75
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 2>I like to know who they are, where they came from,

76
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, anything I can find out about them. I

77
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>actually right before I left to come up here, because

78
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I live in the Bronx in New York. I originally

79
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>from Metric Mass but I live in the Bronx. The

80
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Strausses are buried at Woodlawn Cemetery, which is less than

81
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:01.319
<v Speaker 2>two miles from my house. So I did. I did

82
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:06.360
<v Speaker 2>visit their gravesite before I came over here, which is wow.

83
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>It sort of sort of puts the whole thing in

84
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 2>complete perspective, because, you know, you you try to pay

85
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 2>homage to these people who were they were real people

86
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 2>and they perish in this hideous and unfortunate accident.

87
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>And forgive me for being being rude or a snight

88
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>or sarcastic, but a nice young man from Medford moving

89
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to New York.

90
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.639
<v Speaker 2>Of all places, it happens in the best of families.

91
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Tisk. And if I have to repeat myself again, tisk.

92
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what when we come back is. It's

93
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a break to take. I want to find out about you.

94
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 1>What got you into theater? Did you play Death of

95
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>a Salesman in high school? Something? Something had to what

96
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 1>you whistle to do this? To stand in front of

97
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of people and pretend to be somebody else. And

98
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 1>this is a musical, so you have to sing. And

99
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming you're pretty proud of your singing voice.

100
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I can hold a tune.

101

102
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the same time.

103

00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:29.839
<v Speaker 1>We are back. We're talking with Kevin McGlenn and he

120
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>is in the new musical. Not new, This musical has

121
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>been around on the circuit in the past, and it's back.

122
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 1>It's opening on the twenty ninth of October and has

123
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a twelve day run ending on November tenth at the

124
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>north Shore Music Theater. And Kevin, let me ask you,

125
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>have you ever performed in that theater in the past.

126
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>At north Shore? This is my fourteenth show at the

127
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.120
<v Speaker 2>north Shore Music Theater.

128
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Can't find something to keep you working, can you?

129
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Huh? My first show was in nineteen ninety two. I

130
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>did the first show I did there was How to

131
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Succeed in Business Without really trying.

132
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh, please tell me you played Peter port Finch.

133
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I was in the dancing ensemble. My character's

134
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>name is Peterson, and I gave him the first name Pete,

135
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:34.879
<v Speaker 2>So I was Pete Peterson.

136
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you know why I think the greatest love song

137
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in the history of Broadway is from that production, Because

138
00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>when Pierre part Finch sings to himself in the mirror,

139
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I believe in you. I mean that right there, he

140
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>is singing to himself to boast to himselfself, to make

141
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>sure he's got the hoods, but to do all the

142
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:10.879
<v Speaker 1>things he has to do in that musical.

143
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>And I'll say there are two there are two instances

144
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:21.120
<v Speaker 2>in my life where I felt I was like, oh,

145
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>this is what singing in the ensemble of a musical

146
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:30.279
<v Speaker 2>should feel like. And it's that wall of sound. And

147
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 2>it's in the musical I just mentioned in the musical

148
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm in right now and how to succeed. When you're

149
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>singing Brotherhood of Man, that is it. You know, it

150
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 2>gives you that like from your toes all the way up,

151
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 2>that feeling of like this is amazing. And in the

152
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:51.320
<v Speaker 2>opening sequence of Titanic, when the entire cast is singing Salon, Salon,

153
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>it is it's a It's a magical moment that'll give

154
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 2>you goosebumps.

155
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>You've got the brotherhood. Oh that I'm I gotta stop.

156
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I have to stop because I go off on a

157
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>tangent from time to time and I'll sing five stanzas

158
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.720
<v Speaker 1>of a play or a musical or a movie or TV.

159
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:17.519
<v Speaker 2>You go right, you go right ahead.

160
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you stopped me. And name another production. You say,

161
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>fourteen different productions. Give me another one.

162
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I can rattle up the list. I did How

163
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to Succeed Alice in Wonderland Annie, where I slipped off

164
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.879
<v Speaker 2>the stage opening night and I thought I broke my

165
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 2>leg nine to five. I've done two productions of Sound

166
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 2>of Music, one in twenty thirteen and one in twenty

167
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty three. I did Maame, Hairspray, Oklahoma, Cinderella, Kinky Boots, Elvis,

168
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Jersey Boys, and now Titanic. Quite a resume, yees at

169
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 2>the theater. Yeah, I've been They've been very good, good

170
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 2>to me here. I've been very lucky to work here

171
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.320
<v Speaker 2>over fourteen times over thirty two year period.

172
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Did you have to read for Titanic? Or that I'm

173
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>just going to call from Bill's office or somebody on

174
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 1>his staff and said, do you want to play Titanic?

175
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 2>I did get a lovely offer from Kevin Hill. Are

176
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.399
<v Speaker 2>the producing artistic director and the director of this musical,

177
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and he's directed me in several and he did calling

178
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:41.600
<v Speaker 2>offer me role.

179
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what you know. You're good.

180
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I've known Kevin for a very long time. We actually

181
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.799
<v Speaker 2>used to dance in the chorus together. We did my

182
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 2>one and only together at the Chiswick Park Theater in Sudbury,

183
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.720
<v Speaker 2>which is also now defunct. It seems like I close

184
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of theaters.

185
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 1>There's a classic Bugs Bunny cartoon that chronicles how he

186
00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.879
<v Speaker 1>gets started and became a star, and there's a repeating

187
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.879
<v Speaker 1>scene where he sings as a part of the chorus,

188
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh away are the boys and chorus. We hope you

189
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:24.279
<v Speaker 1>like our show. We know you're rooting for us, But

190
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>now we have to go. You gotta see that cartoon.

191
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Everything everything about theater is in that six and a

192
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>half minute cartoon. Let me take a phone call. We

193
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 1>get a couple of calls, and I'm gonna start with Florence. So, Florence,

194
00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 1>you want to speak to Kevin, don't you?

195
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 4>I do? Good Eve, see Morgan Jack and good each

196
00:13:53.559 --> 00:14:01.480
<v Speaker 4>means Kevin Kevin. Oh wonderful. I'm a big theater lover

197
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 4>to me aside from movie Theater is number one, And

198
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 4>I wanted to ask you, since you played so many roles,

199
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 4>it's wonderful. Is there a role if it ever comes

200
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.039
<v Speaker 4>up that you would like?

201
00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, well, i'll tell you that my age Florence.

202
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 2>They're they're getting here and fwer. But the one role

203
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 2>that I actually did get to do, which was my

204
00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:43.120
<v Speaker 2>dream role, was Jesus and Jesus Christ Superstar.

205
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.759
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I've seen that. Yes, I've seen that years ago.

206
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, It's actually the reason I pursued theater was because

207
00:14:55.799 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 2>of my brother's eight track cassette tape. It's anybody remembers

208
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.159
<v Speaker 2>what that was? And I used to listen to that

209
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.919
<v Speaker 2>when I got back from school. I would pop that

210
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>in and just wail at the top of my lungs

211
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:12.039
<v Speaker 2>every single day.

212
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:18.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So is there anything perhaps in the future that

213
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:27.440
<v Speaker 4>you would like to do that if he gets the opportunity.

214
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you one role that I would love to

215
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.279
<v Speaker 2>do is I did it for a very short period

216
00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 2>of time. Is I don't know if you know the

217
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 2>musical Matilda, No, I don't. It was originally a movie

218
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and they made it into a musical and there is

219
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>a horrible hideous human being of a character called Mistrunchfull,

220
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.440
<v Speaker 2>which is played by a man and just terrorizes the

221
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>children of the school. Oh wow, and i'd I'd love

222
00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.120
<v Speaker 2>to get my hands on that role one more time.

223
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, it sounds like it might be a very challenging role,

224
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 4>and uh, that would appeal to you.

225
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And it sounds like you've done the role. You've already

226
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.879
<v Speaker 1>put that one on your resume.

227
00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I did do I did it a year ago.

228
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 2>It was only it was it was only a weekend run.

229
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 2>So I'd love to actually, you know, do like a

230
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 2>legit run of the show.

231
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

232
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

233
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:39.240
<v Speaker 4>My my favorite show, uh is My Field Lady and

234
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:44.759
<v Speaker 4>you've seen that with Rex Harrison and I love Showbolt,

235
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 4>which I'm trying to get more sure to do that

236
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:54.200
<v Speaker 4>and you know, in the future, and because that would

237
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 4>that would be that's a wonderful production.

238
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.799
<v Speaker 2>And I'll tell you, Florence a little anecdote that in

239
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:07.880
<v Speaker 2>the original production of My Fair Lady, Larry Keith was

240
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the understudy for Rex Harrison, and Larry Keith is the

241
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 2>one who originated the role that I'm playing. Isidor Strauss

242
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.559
<v Speaker 2>in Titanic Musical in nineteen ninety seven, oh all.

243
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, okay, all right. Did you see the movie The

244
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 4>Unsinkable Molly Brown?

245
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I have not, Reynolds, Yeah, I have not. I have

246
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.759
<v Speaker 2>not seen that movie. I did go down a bit

247
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>of a rabbit hole before the show, and I've watched

248
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the Original Titanic with Clifton Webb and oh lord, what's

249
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:57.839
<v Speaker 2>her name? Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwick and a very

250
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.519
<v Speaker 2>young Robert Wagner. And then i watched A Night to Remember,

251
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:08.079
<v Speaker 2>which was done in nineteen fifty eight, which has been

252
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.640
<v Speaker 2>toted as probably the most accurate depiction of what happened,

253
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>because one of the fourth officer, Joseph Boxhall, was actually

254
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.519
<v Speaker 2>a consultant on the film, So one of the survivors

255
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.839
<v Speaker 2>and one of the crew members actually consulted on the film,

256
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.279
<v Speaker 2>and they say that's probably the most accurate depiction of

257
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:26.920
<v Speaker 2>what happened.

258
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And one of my friends who recently passed away this

259
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.759
<v Speaker 1>year was in A Night Do you remember, David McCallum.

260
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, Oh, David, you mean from Man from Uncle?

261
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh, don't get me started, Do not get Me started?

262
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 1>The Man from Uncle. There's a poster that came out

263
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen sixty five over my bed framed.

264
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, I had.

265
00:18:54.079 --> 00:19:00.319
<v Speaker 1>David McCallum on my show at least nine or ten times.

266
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, Kevin, Kevin, I wish you luck, continued luck

267

<v Speaker 2>I appreciate. I appreciate that.

269
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:19.640
<v Speaker 4>It sounds like you've been in so many productions. You

270
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:21.799
<v Speaker 4>must be very very good.

271
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:24.359
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

272
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I just I just hope to keep hiring me. Florence.

273
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep your fingers.

274
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Crossed, Okay, take.

<v Speaker 1>And Kevin, prove to me that your divine and turned

278
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:41.640
<v Speaker 1>my water into wine.

279
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry that was that was herod.

280
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll stop there, mm hmm. But I'm tempted to go

281
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.119
<v Speaker 1>on because I'm quite familiar with a lot of the

282
00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>ditties from some of the music that you mentioned.

283
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:05.359
<v Speaker 2>But you have my permission.

284
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>And every time I have Bill on, and Bill has

285
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:14.119
<v Speaker 1>been Bill Hanny's been on with me more times than

286
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I can count, I always do one line for him.

287
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Om Lord, don quixote the mind from.

288
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Speak, That's what That's what I should have told Florence.

289
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.279
<v Speaker 2>I would have. I mean, you know, I'm I think

290
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I've aged out at this point, but that was one

291
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 2>role that I would have. I mean, I've done the show,

292
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.799
<v Speaker 2>but not that role. Okay, age years ago, but I

293
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:42.799
<v Speaker 2>would have loved to have played don Quixote.

294
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.519
<v Speaker 1>You never know, it's not too late. Anything could happen.

295
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>That's true. I could do it in the nursing home.

296
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I am not going to insult you by asking your age,

297
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.599
<v Speaker 1>but you have a very young and powerful sounding voice.

298
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know as you get older the power in

299
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 1>that voice diminishes, but you still have a very powerful voice.

300
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm holding on.

301
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:17.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, We're halfway through, so I'm going to take

312
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.440

00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>the WBC Land Escape since the mid nineties. Have my

315
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Not that you care, but I have a guest who

316
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 1>is going to be playing in the musical coming to

317
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the North Shore Music Theater, Titanic, the musical, And you

318
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.440
<v Speaker 1>hear musical and Titanic, and it sounds like an oxymoron.

319
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.519
<v Speaker 1>The two just shouldn't be mentioned back to back. But

320
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:33.039
<v Speaker 1>it was very entertaining I saw, and I'm assuming the

321
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>production I saw at ninety seven, Kevin, is the production

322
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.200
<v Speaker 1>that will be starting in two days.

323
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Well mean yeah, it's it is the same show, but

324
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.839
<v Speaker 2>not obviously the same cast that did it, but it's

325
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the same same script and score, absolutely all right.

326
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:59.599
<v Speaker 1>And you should know the phone number up there. I

327
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have it in front of me, but you can

328
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.319
<v Speaker 1>call and go to your tickets that way, or you

329
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>can just go and pick a performance that you want

330
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to go see. And if you want to, like, hold

331
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>up a sign, Hi, Kevin, heard you on BZ don't behavior.

332
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure that people behind you would appreciate that it's.

333
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Not a baseball game. You can't do that. And you

334
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.039
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the man From Uncle. A lot of people when

335
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:42.359
<v Speaker 1>they think of David mccowman think of uh ducky on NCIS.

336
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you, do you remember the show

337
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 1>The Man from Uncle?

338
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Yes, very much.

339
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:52.359
<v Speaker 1>I means you're not twenty four years old.

340
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 2>That means I'm a man of a certain age. Yeah.

341
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to go there, but I will be

342
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 1>having on November ninth, and you will still be here

343
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.519
<v Speaker 1>doing the show. I don't know if it will allow you.

344
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm on a ten. I've got Stephanie Powers scheduled to

345
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.240
<v Speaker 1>interview and play. She played The Girl from Uncle, and

346
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 1>there I already know the first question I'm going to

347
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:24.640
<v Speaker 1>ask her, and it was going to be what does

348
00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:29.680
<v Speaker 1>she remember about Boris Karloff? Because the first episode of

349
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:34.440
<v Speaker 1>The Girl from Uncle had the character of Napoleon's solo

350
00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 1>partnered with her, and then they did a similar thing

351
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.839
<v Speaker 1>on the next episode of The Man from Uncle because

352
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:48.400
<v Speaker 1>No Hareton played Mark slayt April's usual partner, but he

353
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.960
<v Speaker 1>partnered with David McCallum. Ilia. See this is how well

354
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 1>I know these things. I am a g I don't

355
00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:59.599
<v Speaker 1>know if Peil told you, but I'm a geek.

356
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean Boris Carloff. That is that is Hollywood Roy Lady.

357
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.799
<v Speaker 1>He played the character Mother Muffin and he had oh

358
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:16.400
<v Speaker 1>great fun doing it. You could tell he enjoyed doing

359
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:20.559
<v Speaker 1>that role. It's almost like watching Caesar Merrow do the

360
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Joker on Batman.

361
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Joker. I was just gonna say that, it's like that

362
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Batman series where all of those amazing actors got to

363
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, Burgess Meredith and all of those people are

364
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:35.640
<v Speaker 2>if a kid, I mean, how much fun was that?

365
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 1>I was supposed to have Julie Numar about oh wow,

366
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:47.039
<v Speaker 1>six seven months ago. She's ninety years old. Her agent

367
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:50.079
<v Speaker 1>gets me some of the people that I have on

368
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the air to interview, and he and I were speaking

369
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:57.880
<v Speaker 1>about this just this week because she was supposed to

370
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:01.200
<v Speaker 1>be on with me months go, and it was supposed

371
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:05.119
<v Speaker 1>to come in conjunction with her book, but the book

372
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.079
<v Speaker 1>ran into a snag, didn't get published and was supposed to,

373
00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 1>so she wasn't going to come on and not have

374
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:17.920
<v Speaker 1>the book to talk to talk about. But I am still,

375
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, scheduled to get her. We shall see if

376
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:26.599
<v Speaker 1>I do or not. But she's ninety years old and

377
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 1>probably still still just as sexy. As ever. Yeah right, yeah,

378
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm being generous, being generous as I say that.

379
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 2>So I just I just got a text message from

380

<v Speaker 1>See.

384
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 2>We grew up next door to each other. My mother

385
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and his mother are sisters and there was one house

386
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:59.359

388
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:02.799
<v Speaker 2>and four parents.

389
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Hello, MARKU Medford. Now if people went to YouTube or

<v Speaker 2>y n n Okay.

396
00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I always have people do that because in this twenty

397
00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 1>first century age, everything is out there online on a computer, website, whatever,

398
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:54.440
<v Speaker 1>And if somebody wants to look up your history. Have

399
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:58.839
<v Speaker 1>you done movies as well?

400
00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I did the Brinks Job back in nineteen whatever whatever

401
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.599
<v Speaker 2>year that was. I was an extra on that. I have.

402
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>There's only one movie that I'm featured in. It's called

403
00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Isabelle Isabelle Hooper in the Ghost of Nantucket, which we

404
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:16.319
<v Speaker 2>filmed on Nantucket a couple of years ago. It's a

405
00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:21.839
<v Speaker 2>it's sort of a tween movie. It's stars. Lord love it. Duck.

406
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm just blanking on her name.

407
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:33.599
<v Speaker 1>She could normally very good at helping people along, but

408
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I never saw that movie.

409
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:44.039
<v Speaker 2>She is in the movie with Adam Sandler where he

410
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:50.319
<v Speaker 2>which one he uh wait, let me see. I'm like

411
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:54.960
<v Speaker 2>looking her up right now. Oh, Bailey Madison. Do you

412
00:28:55.000 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 2>know Bailey Madison. She's She's done a million, a million things.

413
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Just go with it. That movie with Adam Sandler and

414
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Jennifer Aniston. Yes, and you know they have the fake children, and.

415
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:17.599
<v Speaker 1>I remember that movie. No, I would not put that

416
00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:22.839
<v Speaker 1>up there with Adam Sandler's best. But you know a

417
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:30.079
<v Speaker 1>few people laughed when they were supposed to. That's important thing, exactly. Yeah,

418
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:32.039
<v Speaker 1>I play long filmography.

419
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.319
<v Speaker 2>No, no, not at all. It's mostly live theater.

420
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 1>And was that a conscious decision to go more towards

421
00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:50.160
<v Speaker 1>live theater than movies, because usually you pay attention to

422
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:54.400
<v Speaker 1>what your strengths are, and you go with your strengths.

423
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, it's funny, it's funny because it wasn't

424
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:00.119
<v Speaker 2>until later in life that I even thought that was

425
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.680
<v Speaker 2>an option for me, because I I love to sing

426
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.079
<v Speaker 2>and I love to dance, and so musicals were sort

427
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 2>of the natural path for me. Then I started doing

428
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:16.480
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of commercial work. But you know, theater

429
00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 2>has kept me employed and has paid my mortgage and

430
00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:26.799
<v Speaker 2>car payment for many many years now. So I.

431
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:32.519
<v Speaker 1>You have bread and milk in the kitchen, exactly theater.

432
00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Who doesn't love a fluff? Another on whitebread with glass

433
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 2>of milk.

434
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.759
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you need fluff, fluff, fluff to have a fluff,

435
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 1>another marshmellow fluff and lots of peanut butter. Off the

436
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:46.640
<v Speaker 1>top of my.

437
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Head, Wow, that was that was impressive.

438
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:55.839
<v Speaker 1>And you enjoy joy joy. I'm sorry, I can't stop.

439
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I have to stop it. And you are a very

440
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.640
<v Speaker 1>handsome man. And Nancy, who was my producer sitting next

441
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:09.160
<v Speaker 1>to me, just took out her pad and looked you

442
00:31:09.279 --> 00:31:12.640
<v Speaker 1>up and there you go. Now you've got to be

443
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:14.759
<v Speaker 1>in You got glasses to prove that. I looked at

444
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the picture of you.

445
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, you mean right now? Yes, I'm right now.

446
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm yeah, I'm bearded right now Because Isidore was okay.

447
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>And you see a lot of people necessarily wouldn't know

448
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:37.079
<v Speaker 1>that if you didn't have a beard, they wouldn't say, oh,

449
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:39.799
<v Speaker 1>that's wrong, you still had a beard. I've seen pictures

450
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:45.720

<v Speaker 3>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

469
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:04.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jordan actor Kevin mcclenn and he's going to be

470
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:09.160
<v Speaker 1>in the production of Titanic the Musical, which opens in

471
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>two days up at the north Shore Music Theater October

472
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:15.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine to November ten.

473
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.559
<v Speaker 2>And five days. You just gave me a small heart attack.

474
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake. Yeah, because you get the

475
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>weekend off and the I apologize. Okay, I won't make

476
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:33.400
<v Speaker 1>that mistake again. But it's theater in the round, and

477
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:38.079
<v Speaker 1>you've mentioned that you've played there on fourteen different productions.

478
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you prefer theater in the round or the straightforward

479
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of a theater?

480
00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:53.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, there is there is a freedom in theater

481
00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:56.839
<v Speaker 2>in the round that you don't have to be aware

482
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:01.160
<v Speaker 2>of in a regular passonian theater, because it doesn't matter

483
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:05.200
<v Speaker 2>where you're standing, they can see you right. You know,

484
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 2>when you when you block a show in a proscenium

485
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.719
<v Speaker 2>theater which is flat on, you have to make sure

486
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 2>that when you're speaking with somebody, you're not upstaging them

487
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.760
<v Speaker 2>so that they're speaking upstage and the audience can't see

488
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 2>their face. And you know, there's whole art to blocking

489
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:23.719
<v Speaker 2>that way. But in the round, you can be seen

490
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:27.000
<v Speaker 2>from wherever you are so there's a there's a just

491
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:29.159
<v Speaker 2>a sort of a strange freedom. Like I said that

492
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:34.920
<v Speaker 2>you're you're uninhibited and where you go when you're when

493
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:35.719
<v Speaker 2>you're performing.

494
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:42.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, I learned terms like the proscenium, march

495
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and sro o a standing room only back in ninth

496
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:51.039
<v Speaker 1>and tenth grade when I took drama. And you don't

497
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 1>get to hear that word used that often anymore, right,

498
00:34:56.719 --> 00:35:02.280
<v Speaker 1>But it's a description, it's a description of the environment

499
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of stage. And I have been just handed box office

508
00:35:55.400 --> 00:36:01.639
<v Speaker 1>is just called in us get nervous on somebody calls

509
00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 1>so late. But let's take the call, Rick and Belle Rica.

510
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:10.159
<v Speaker 5>But you don't have to get nervous. I'm just I'm

511
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:12.639
<v Speaker 5>just calling to say good luck to Kevin, because I've

512
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.039
<v Speaker 5>been singing for a long time and you know, that's

513
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:18.199
<v Speaker 5>that's the epitome of live singing. That's that's hard stuff.

514
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:21.559
<v Speaker 5>I've never done theater and uh, and you know, I

515
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:25.000
<v Speaker 5>I know, I know it's it's it's the toughest. And

516
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:27.880
<v Speaker 5>also Kevin's got to watch how if he wants a

517
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:29.599
<v Speaker 5>glass of wine, he might have to skip it for

518
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:32.079
<v Speaker 5>the night if it well, depending on how many shows.

519
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:32.320
<v Speaker 2>He has to do.

520
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:35.159
<v Speaker 5>Because as a singer, you have to watch what you eat.

521
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:38.119
<v Speaker 5>You got to skip the dairy, the cheese. You got

522
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 5>to hydrate extra, you got to sleep extra. You probably

523
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:44.239
<v Speaker 5>gotta have ginger tea all that other stuff. Kevin, Kevin

524
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:47.599
<v Speaker 5>knows all about that stuff. But I just wanted to say, Kevin, Uh,

525
00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:50.000
<v Speaker 5>I just want to say good luck because it's it's

526
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:51.719
<v Speaker 5>a battlefield when you go out theater.

527
00:36:51.599 --> 00:37:00.280
<v Speaker 6>Perform and everything you said, everything you said is absolutely true,

528
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:03.880
<v Speaker 6>and I you you know that the grind that you

529
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:05.239
<v Speaker 6>have to go through to keep.

00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:42.559
<v Speaker 1>toe wet in theater? Who are your favorite actors and

561
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:48.360

567
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:14.480
<v Speaker 2>the world. And now she has become a very dear

568
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:20.760

<v Speaker 2>those things when people when I was a kid, I

575
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:44.760
<v Speaker 2>was like, how do I get from my dan watching
