I am beyond. I'm so excited to come back in the last five years
0:03
Jason Robert Brown, Whitney White, with Nick Jonas. I'm a very lucky girl
0:08
That's got to be magical for your right to live in that world. It's incredible. And the first time it's being brought to Broadway
0:13
So to bring Kathy to Broadway is a blessing unlike anything I've ever known
0:20
And I have to say it's also a huge responsibility because I know how many people love this show
0:24
And I'm going to do my best, I promise. I'm going to geek out. One of my next projects
0:29
is an incredible musical, iconic musical called The Last Five Years. And I have to nerd out because it premiered about 25 years ago now in Illinois
0:38
I'm not trying to date myself. But I remember the first production I lived in Chicago
0:43
It was at a theater. In Chicago, that's a very beloved theater
0:47
If you're a theater person in that area, and I'll never forget it
0:51
And I've been following the show since. When I was a musical theater kid, those were some of the first songs I've sung
0:57
I think it's just one of the most special musical. and the American canon, and that I get to bring it to Broadway is bananas
1:04
So I will be giving it my best. Yes I have a long time history with the show so I very excited about it Talk about your two exciting stars who are the nicest people in the world I have Nick Jonas and Adrian Warren I mean they both Titans of the Stage
1:18
They are able to command hundreds of thousands of people at one time, and that is a very rare
1:25
skill these days. So I think they're going to be electric. It's a very intricate, complex musical landscape, the show, and they're powerhouse singers
1:35
So I think you're going to hear the show song like you've never heard it song before
1:40
When do you start on that? Oh, my goodness. I'm not supposed to be talking about this yet
1:44
but I start in February. Yeah. You know what's great about them
1:48
They have such huge fan bases, and some people like for Nick have never seen him on stage
1:53
and they're going to be introduced to this whole new world, what that means to you for the young audiences coming to see this
1:59
It means so much because I think so many incredible artists out there are multifaceted, and so is he
2:04
He can do it all. Not only does he command the stage, but he can act, he can sing, and this show's going to bring it all together in a beautiful way
2:12
Two of them together. I know. Guys, 25 years in the making, you have no idea
2:17
I'm containing myself right now because I'm trying to be a professional, but I'm very excited
