What you have are really funny people and it's a rarity to have four of them
0:15
They're like a treasure you find on the beach. I can't believe I've got four really funny people doing this
0:23
And not only that, they know how to give it over to the other person when they're being funny
0:28
and then it becomes their turn to be funny. And it's just a beautiful thing to watch. It's like watching a string quartet
0:33
They're first-rate actors. And they also know funny. But they have the gift of credibility
0:41
And Amy's fantastic. Obviously, people know her from her concerts and her TV shows and her movies
0:47
But she is the real McCoy. She's got the gift of credibility
0:51
She means what she says. And she makes it seem like her life is on the line
0:57
So they understand life and death stakes. Amy is just as funny as she seems like she is
1:02
And she's just amazing on stage. And she's just fun to play with because she really plays
1:08
And Keegan, it's his Broadway debut, but he's just like a consummate actor and hilarious
1:14
And Laura is, you know, she's been on Broadway a bunch. And she's just completely hilarious
1:21
I don't think she's ever gotten a chance to be this funny. I feel so secure with these other three performers that it felt like a little bit extra day
1:30
like the roses smelled a little better today, you know, but it was kind of powerful for the chorus
1:35
everybody having fun everybody responding to each other truthfully and honestly everybody having a little zany streak in them It felt very good tonight We have the best time We really love each other It nice I was like oh God what if we hadn loved each other so much
1:49
But it's, yeah, it's like that's what it's all about. Like it's very fun to be getting these laughs and the audience seems to be enjoying it
1:55
But it's like we just have fun. We play for an hour and a half. We have this little circle that we do before the show where we hold hands and we talk about how much we love each other basically
2:04
It's like a prayer circle, but for each other. They're the best. They're smart
2:08
They're funny. They're generous. They are everything you would hope a co-worker to be
2:12
We get to have these weird jobs where we just come and play with our friends. So I can't complain about anything
2:18
It's a director's dream working with him because he is not precious
2:23
He is endlessly inventive. He makes rewrites. He is smart. And he is, it was a delight to collaborate with him
2:33
and I look forward to getting in the trenches with him every day and making the script tighter and better
2:38
I love him. Yeah, he's a hero I met that did not disappoint
2:42
So, yeah, when he asked me to read it and then to be in it
2:47
I was like, absolutely. I did his play in college, so it meant a lot to me to get to do this
