- 2:50Speaker 4: I have one developed and we can't get it moving.
- 2:52Speaker 1: No build type show.
- 2:55Speaker 4: Well, it's it's it's look ally McBeal was way ahead
- 2:58Speaker 4: of its time and it was one of my favorit
- 3:00Speaker 4: shows in my teen years. No, it's actually more of
- 3:04Speaker 4: like it's it's quite an impacting psychological thriller. That's kind
- 3:08Speaker 4: of where we've placed it. But it has a very
- 3:11Speaker 4: robust underbelly of humor. I developed it with Natasha Sutherland,
- 3:18Speaker 4: Yeah begs and so you know, I just we can't
- 3:22Speaker 4: seem to get it across the line. I'm just like,
- 3:25Speaker 4: I don't know. I feel like sissiphis climbing up the
- 3:29Speaker 4: mountain with a boulder on my back and I'm like.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Someone please take this as heavy.

- 3:45Speaker 3: we put you in a mask on.
- 3:47Speaker 2: My listen, Okay.
- 3:50Speaker 4: The masked Singer was the greatest edification.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Of my entire career.
- 3:55Speaker 4: What I understood by way of my art and what
- 3:58Speaker 4: it is that I do, I would never have known.
- 4:00Speaker 4: It's like Joni Mitchell, you don't know what you got
- 4:01Speaker 4: until it's gone. I was like, oh my oh, I
- 4:04Speaker 4: can't see.
- 4:05Speaker 2: I have no vision. I've got visual impairment. My peripheral
- 4:08Speaker 2: vision's gone.
- 4:09Speaker 4: I've got no spatial recognition, and I'm as sink and
- 4:14Speaker 4: this you know, my mask? I mean, she was so beautiful,
- 4:17Speaker 4: but I don't think people realize how heavy my mask
- 4:20Speaker 4: in particular was.
- 4:21Speaker 1: You had one of the heaviest masts of the season,
- 4:24Speaker 1: by the.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Way of all three, and they had to time me
- 4:28Speaker 4: in to all the because there were layers and layers
- 4:32Speaker 4: with the with the wardrobe costume, which was magnificent, but
- 4:35Speaker 4: there were certain materials that with the floor of the
- 4:39Speaker 4: stage did not go so well. So when I was
- 4:41Speaker 4: in my dress rehearsal, I tripped. I was the thlid.
- 4:45Speaker 4: My mask felt off my head, so I was like
- 4:47Speaker 4: everything needed to be strapped in, Like.
- 4:49Speaker 2: My head piece was strapped in. I was tied in.
- 4:52Speaker 4: So everything became incredibly technical, and as an artist, I'm like,
- 4:57Speaker 4: the more I don't want to be self kind, I
- 5:00Speaker 4: don't want to even know any part of my body
- 5:03Speaker 4: is feeling impinged or and cut.
- 5:06Speaker 2: I was like, this is mental gymnastics.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I'm gonna die.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I'm going to die. I'm going to trip and fall.
- 5:12Speaker 2: The masks and I come off my head. I'm gonna
- 5:13Speaker 2: snap my neck.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Like the what was happening inside of me versus how
- 5:17Speaker 4: it looked, I.
- 5:18Speaker 3: Was like, and it looked spectacular. On the other side
- 5:22Speaker 3: of it, little girls around the country have fallen in life.
