- 2:22Speaker 3: tweak and change?
- 2:23Speaker 1: So it's like a show in its infancy. Yeah, like
- 2:26Speaker 1: very early on, early on to build a Broadway production.

- 2:41Speaker 3: few years. So to me, it's like it's ready to go.

- 2:47Speaker 3: the audience, so it was it was hitting all the
- 2:50Speaker 3: right notes.

- 3:16Speaker 3: to get myself out on stage, like just get the
- 3:19Speaker 3: first line out and I'm good, right, But uh, but
- 3:23Speaker 3: it's because I love it so much and because I
- 3:25Speaker 3: feel like it's not me it's a character. I'm not
- 3:28Speaker 3: as nervous. Essay, when we host Broadway and Bryant Park,
- 3:31Speaker 3: I get way more nervous for that is it's just
