This is fake. Like, this feels like a huge, a long seven hour dream and getting to perform today alongside my cast was amazing and then
0:14
being able to take this home is just the cherry on the cake of a
0:19
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful experience that is playing this character every night. You've been on such a journey with this show
0:26
I mean, did you ever dream that it would go from the public to Broadway to be here tonight
0:32
Yes, in the sense that I always had hope and believed in the people around me that we would get here at some point
0:39
I did not expect it to happen so quickly. It's very fast
0:46
But I mean, if that's the journey that, you know, he wants to take us on, then who are we to object? I
0:53
love the audience that comes to your show. There are so many young kids that are seeing themselves through you
1:00
What that means to you? I had so many teachers at a young age. I was really lucky to have
1:10
teachers and folks and just theater goers and community members and a village of people behind me supporting my dream
1:18
when I was a child and first figuring out what it meant to be a storyteller
1:23
So all I can say is encourage the youth. That's how things like this happen
1:30
There is no future of theater without the youth. So we have to do our job to take good care of the kids that want to do things like this
1:39
Just hold it up. I'm gonna ask you to spin it. Just tell me what comes to mind when you spin that thing. Go ahead
1:48
What a wild, wild ride. It's a wild ride
