<v Speaker 1>Very good, very good, And folks, you are in here

28
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>for a big production from Children's Musical Theater and this

29
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>is going to be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Code, right, yes,

30
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>great musical by Andrew Lloyd Weber, one of my favorites actually,

31
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 1>So talk a little bit about what this production is

32
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>all about, any one of you.

33
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.239
<v Speaker 4>Well, this show is about Joseph, obviously, the story of

34
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 4>Joseph in the Bible, but it sort of mixes a

35
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 4>bunch of genres for the musical aspect of it. There's

36
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 4>random things like country nineties, rat So, Yes, Calypso sort

37
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 4>of stuff, and you'd think it'd be kind of weird,

38
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.000
<v Speaker 4>but it works with our cast.

39
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Especially, it works really well.

40
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 4>So it's it's kind of awesome.

41
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it sounds awesome. And I've seen the Broadway production

42
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of it, and what is it like really? I mean

43
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 1>because Andreloyd Webber is one of my absolute favorite composers

44
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 1>for Broadway. I am a huge fan of fans of

45
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>the opera. By the way, that is my all time

46
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>favorite Wicked is up there, you know, but alw has

47
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>it down pat And I can't tell you how many

48
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 1>times I've seen Phantom anyway. So so it's a biblical

49
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>story but set with some pretty modern things, right, yes, yeah,

50
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>So what was it like to translate what you see

51
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>on the professional stage versus a junior production of this

52
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>great musical?

53
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, of course, you know, with the smaller cast

54
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 5>and younger players and all that kind of stuff, it's

55
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 5>obviously you have to translate some stuff and you have

56
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 5>to maybe minimize it. But we, for sure it's a

57
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 5>huge production and we just we have so much fun

58
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 5>with it. And you know, like he was saying, there's

59
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.680
<v Speaker 5>one hundred different genres, and there's I mean the story

60
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 5>of this boy who I mean, he got lucky and

61
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 5>he kept getting all these opportunities and it led him

62
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 5>to i mean, become something great and like a big

63
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 5>yeah Egyptian.

64
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's great. So I guess the big question is

65
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 1>when is the show time. It's July tenth through thirteenth.

66
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.080

<v Speaker 5>evening and then the second two are in the afternoon.

00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>There you got so two unique performances to matine performances

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 1>that we make here.

106
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>It's always there's always so much connection that you make

107
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>in shows that you are in, and especially in this

108
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>show because there's like there's twelve brothers and you are

109
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>always with each other and it's a great time to

110
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.279
<v Speaker 2>spend with each other. Also, I just love to sing

111
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>and dance. It's just awesome.

112
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 1>There you go, there you go. So Anny, when movies

<v Speaker 4>Oh?

116
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, I have loved musicals ever since I was Indy biddy,

117
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 3>and I knew that I always wanted to be a

118
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 3>part of CMT. And now that I am a part

119
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 3>of it. It's like the community that we have. And

120
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 3>I love singing and dancing and music, and it really

121
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 3>is just like the best time in the summer. It's

122
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 3>a really good time.

123
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 4>And what about you, Eli, I love dancing and moving

124
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 4>and singing for years, ever since I was really young.

125
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.439
<v Speaker 4>And now here I am. I've been doing this for

126
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 4>ten years now and it's just a really great experience.

127
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.639
<v Speaker 4>And no matter how the demographic of children that come

128
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 4>into the program are, it's always a really fun and

129
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 4>exciting experience that you can enjoy during the summer. And

130
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 4>I look forward to it every year.

131
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it keeps you in shape too, yes, for sure.

132
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>So Alison, what about you? What has attracted you to

133
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 1>be a children's musical theater performer?

134
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 5>Well, this is also my tenth year in the program.

135
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 5>I mean, me and Eli, we've been here since we're seven,

136
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 5>and my family has always been really involved in children

137
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.839
<v Speaker 5>musical theater since the very beginning. And I mean it

138
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 5>was more of those things that I was just brought

139
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 5>up in it. And I mean, singing is my passion

140
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.480
<v Speaker 5>and dancing I'm ast with.

141
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Good app That's okay, neither of that's all right.

142
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 5>It's definitely. You make lifelong friends and it's just something

143
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.319

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start with Alison. Alison, what is your favorite

153
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>scene in Joseph in the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

154
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.240
<v Speaker 5>My favorite scene would probably have to be Eli's close

155
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 5>every Door. It's so emotional. I tear up every time

156
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.800
<v Speaker 5>he sings it. It's there won't be a dry eye

157
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.600
<v Speaker 5>in the audience. It's so captivating. He's such an amazing

158
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 5>performer and it's just amazing to watch every time.

159
00:07:55.439 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Look at that Eli, Man, you gotta follow that.

160
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 4>What is what is your favorite My favorite is so

161
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 4>if you didn't know, the play is set, it's all

162
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.079
<v Speaker 4>sung through, so it's all songs. My favorite song is

163
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.680
<v Speaker 4>Jacob and Son's. It's the beginning of the show and

164
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 4>it's really exciting and it's really fun and we all

165
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 4>just sort of hop around and dance and.

166
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, hopping around dancing and singing at the same time.

167
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 1>That takes a very special skill. I'm lucky if I

168
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 1>put one foot in front of my other. So I

169
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>almost tripped yesterday. But what that's me anyway, right, any

170
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.559
<v Speaker 1>what is your favorite scene in the play?

171
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.080
<v Speaker 4>I would have to say.

172
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 3>My favorite scene is Canaan Days. It's where we have

173
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 3>a brother singing a song and he's singing kind of

174
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 3>in a French accent, and there's three dancers and I'm

175
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 3>one of them and we get to dance on top

176
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:53.840
<v Speaker 3>of tables and it's just really really exciting and it's

177
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:54.399
<v Speaker 3>really fun.

178
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Well it sounds fun and dangerous.

179
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's very scary, but we get through it.

180
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Who's doing the French accent? Even Ortiz? All right, well

181
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that'll be great. So Nathan, for you, what is your

182
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>favorite scene in this production?

183
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.399
<v Speaker 2>I might be a little selfish with this answer, but

184
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 2>I have a song. It's I just have one song

185
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 2>and it is so hilarious to me. I mean, we

186
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 2>haven't actually like blocked it yet, so I don't know

187
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>how fun it'll be. Yes, song is awesome, I rechoose

<v Speaker 2>It's hilarious.

194
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.840
