• 4:52
  Speaker 5: the on the night of the Winter Solstice. That's what
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: you do. That's what we've always done. My family's German

  Speaker 3: since you came on to the team, you are so
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: young yet so just it feels old with wisdom.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: You feel like you just have your ability to write
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: notes in music is something I personally, as the financier,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: could never understand.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: We were both financiers.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But we did a promise that we're going to fund
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this for you guys if we got to write the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: music and do the choreography and direct it and you And.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: This was our Solstice promise to you.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, And I mean I saw you at the Jimmies.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, you saw that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: And I remember were you live.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I was live.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I usually I usually sit in the booth. Oh gosh, Yeah,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: usually sit in the booth. And I remember being like,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: we gotta pay that boy. Yes, and we got to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: hook came up with the.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Call because you guys, because you guys had met already
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and you had already floated this idea of this genius,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: new original idea.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Never before seen, an untold story.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And you guys said, we have half of the money,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we need the other half. And so we sat down.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: We put our brains together. We're brother sister, We put
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: our brains together, just like brothers and sisters do like this.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, wow, your lips are a little closer to hers
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: than he thought.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It was going to be mutual.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: It was heads.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It was heads. It's close enough, you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Know, financier people.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So we all got together and we said, we'll help you,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: but we want a chance at the music, in the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: choreography and direction show if you'll let us take a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: little bit of the direction.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: I found it to be really helpful to sort of
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: have you guys kind of helping me as I went
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: through the process. It was really useful to have fingers
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: on fingers.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well because I loved a lot of
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: your choices, but I also disagreed with them, and I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: needed to show you how I disagree with them by
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: touching your PM.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And I want to say this to you right now, David,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: you always have a place in our home. During the
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: songwriting process of this, you staying in our mudroom was
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: the highlight.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: With absolute highlight, because we.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Do yes and you just I don't know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I remember we were like, Okay, we have the other
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: half of the money they need. We can't pay for
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: accommodations for everyone to write this, right yea, So we
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: we put you in our mudroom, and I just loved it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: You guys are being modest. Okay, you see mudroom and
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: it sounds like it's this little thing. It's mudroom as
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: in Korean spa mudroom, yeah, a hot room, yes, full
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: of mud on the ground.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And we have workers there all the time, full hired staff.
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: It's awesome. Yeah, I mean it's so nice. We used
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: to work in there too. It's hot, you know, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: it's warm.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: It's warm. Been there, And there's there's a period of
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: a sort of psychological transcendence that happens after our eighteen
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: in the mudroom, where you cannot see anymore, you can't
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: think anymore, and then all of a sudden, it just
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: flows through you. And that's when the inspiration for the
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: big closer of actors.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Really the genius of these two is, is housing me
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: in a space like that meant that I I sort
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: of spent those eighteen hours in my sleep, so I
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: woke up with the ideas. Yes, I had that transcendental
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: moment in the night.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: When I saw Hamilton, I was like, who housed Lynn?
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: While he was writing this?
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: Was?
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I know, But sometimes I think there's something about trapping
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: an artist as a financier.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: It's fun.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, the door, it's how we've written most of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: our original musicals. We want the we love the idea
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the artist is not going to do anything unless you
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: lock them in a hot room and like just like.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Because I mean, that's that's a conservatory.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: We told you our names. No, come on, my sister.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: My brother has such a heart for choreo.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And I just want to say, maybe we might.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: We may be financiers, but we also are artist is.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: Well so and that's what's so fun about you, guys's financiers,
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: that you told us you were all these types of
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: artists after you signed on to be financiers.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: Yes, we always say I should have read the contract.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, almost. Some would say a bait and switch.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I'm married, but amazing nothing baits are switches.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Married people bates a switch.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: You can see through it all.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: My name is Moon Scott and I am the director
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: of Hooked as well as half Finance here. I used
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: to direct the summer program at the MUNI and I
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: got fired and ever since then, I've decided to take
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: life into my own hands.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, and I am direct. I am Son Scott, her
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: famed brother. I am.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I love dancing, I love music and I love writing songs.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So uh, and I'm also half of the finance here.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: So our dad was a billionaire who did a lot
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of bad things in the Middle East, but he is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: now dead, so it's all good, and we have all
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: his money and we're just looking for fun things to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: invest in.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know, set talking about this amongst this
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: crew is gonna in a can of worms that we
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: shouldn't because we're talking about hooked.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: But we're sick of Broadway.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Right now, so sick.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Right, it's all the same, It all feels the exact
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: same time.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Look at the younger generation. They're tired.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: We're tired.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: We're tired.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: We are tired.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Well, well, he's tired, and we're also we're tired in
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: a different way. Well, we're tired in a different way.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Where we were young.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: We're Gen X, we're tired.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: We're tired.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: We're tired like our bones.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: My uncle is the last person to ever live in
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: an iron lung. Compared to him, we're young.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: That's true.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: It's not a movie that you've seen before, right, I'm
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: just so sick of going to Broadway and seeing movies.
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: Odd scene, I'm so tired of going to Broadway and
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: seeing movies.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: It's awful. It's an awful thing.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So we wanted to present a completely original idea that
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: we loved you working on. And maybe we can actually
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: just jump in and give him a little sneak.
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Do we want to start at the start,
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: at the beginning.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Opening, Yeah, the opening story short, the.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Play ends, the musical ends with Peter Pana riving.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, and that's how you know.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: So everything up until then is the story you've never
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: even seen, not even in Peter in the Starcatcher, which
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: also covers this.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, that play.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: It's fantastic, but it's not this, and I'll tell you
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: what it is. It's a very different.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: Show, very different show, very different.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: And we did a modern update, so Neverland is a
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: completely different place.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: And and we start with Hook as a boy.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It Neverland feels like san Diego.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Doesn't this sound like.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Hook as a boy?

  Speaker 5: you know what, call me Smee, and then the lights
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: go down.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: He's the village.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like he's the biggest villain in the Peter Bang.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Can I show them?
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Got it? We got taken by me.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: We all got carried away by Richards, taken away by
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you start writing something, think it is about one thing.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: You are blown away in our seventeen in the mid
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: room by someone so compelling, so magnetic, so entrancing and
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: giving and magnanimous.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Look at this.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: I remember, I'm making my eggs a flance.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And I hear, as you do every morning, and I hear,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I hear below in my mudroom, I hear a sound,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and I go, you're kidding?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Is that this?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Did he wake up this morning? Did Cream wake up
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: this morning and find the sound of Smee?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: Cream woke up one morning and oh here it is me.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, well jump ahead.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: This is Sneaks, one of the big Sneak songs we're
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: so excited to present. This is when Speed Richard really
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: dealing with himself, either choosing to go into a law
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: firm or get on a ship.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah it's Smee.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I'm Smeee. It's me. I'm Smee.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: You can't look at me.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I'm Smee.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:47
  Speaker 12: Nobody takes me seriously, but you will because I am
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: Sway I'm see yes.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: And during this part we have we're doing a lot
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: of projection, a lot law books are going back behind it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: It's everything that Smee wishes he could be and everything
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: that he isn't. It's Smee's favorite color, it's Smee's parents,
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: it's me. His blood spills across the stage.
• 16:15
  Speaker 12: So many choices of who I could be, who I
• 16:18
  Speaker 12: could be, but I want to.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Be Richard, Richard, what are you doing?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's just stop for a second. The annoying mom
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: by the incredible Carolee Carmelo. I can't believe.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: It's so wide you could drive a truck through it.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Whoa, that's iron No, it's heard by bron So.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: His mom is always holding him back and always trying
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to call we do this nice Jrope.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I hope you guys don't notice it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: But every song usually ends with somebody calling somebody out
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of the song back into reality, and we used Smee's
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: mom to do that eighty percent of the time.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: You know, I'll kind of break that down. We were
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: inspired to add that after all the times my wife
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: yells at me from the other room about something.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: You are bad, and it's something that.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Yelling at me from the other room.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: When I think about our relationship, it makes me want
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: to cry because there's just something so beautiful about you
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: being in the other room, about you being in the
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: other room, and I have something to tell you, but
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: I don't want to go in there.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: But I don't want to go in there.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: And so I'm in the laundry room and I'm saying,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, I'm saying, Grover, Grover, did you put the
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: bridge in? Did you push the bridge back?
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Did you put the bridge in? I know, you know,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: you're just you're a rando woman, But what was funny?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Don't call my wife rando.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but don't get mad at my sister.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just here. I remember.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: We were struggling with act too, so we all decided
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: to do a writer's retreat, went to Palm Springs. But
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: that was when I really learned that you like to
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: call your husband a lot, because you two were always
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: in the in like the in the pool deck room
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: or something.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, And she kept calling because when we're in
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: the same groom, I feel so grateful for you that
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: I could cry, and so it's best to separate myself.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: But they were cooking on Hook's whole second.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It was funny.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: It was like there's parts where you guys were like,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: don't come in. We're really really working on this together.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: We just need the brain.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Hard.
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: It was really special and we worked really hard.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: And we also found this amazing uh one of those
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: little sand shuffle board games tables, and you beat me.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: I know it's I had sprinkled it.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Ex That's really fun.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Love you, but two of you are so good at games.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: It's interesting.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: I love playing checkers against you as a team.
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: It's fun to play against you as a team. It's
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: funny because i'm music and lyrics.
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: So I jumped you jump, Yes, yes, you have to.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: We had trouble with Actuo because I mean, we had
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: such a good Act one finale.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, let's talk talk about kind of anything that
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: happens the next one as well.
• 19:03
  Speaker 10: Let's yeah, let's that's diego And the main conflict is
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: that Hook wants to be a poet, right and he
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: can't be because he is sent to work at a
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: woodworking shop run by somebody who might end up being
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: a pirate, but we don't know, and kind of a.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: Gristled old mean leader who we named up chuck.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Chu wink wink wink wink. And let's just say they
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: might have a little bit of a romantic interest in
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a girl named uh t Bell and she is a
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: full grown woman. Uh at this point in the story,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: she's a full grown Let's play.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: That song because we wrote that song. I want to
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: be I'm a big old woman.
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: I'm a big old woman.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right now, in this moment, I'm a big old woman.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: And this is saying my tinker belt here it is,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: and there's a bit of a Latin influence.
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: I'm a big old woman. Don't worry, I'm not teeny
• 20:11
  Speaker 12: at all.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Because I'm a big old woman.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Yes, Richard, I don't want to come down to t.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Bell is Latina and she is busty.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: And this was something that came to us in the mudroom.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: She has to be Latina. She has to be busty.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: And we will not be taking any sensitivity around this,
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: be consulting anyone, We will not be asking anyone. We
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: will not be you know, do we got check.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We're done with this woke culture. Why can't I say
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: a woman is busty?
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: If you like to have if you like to say
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: something about this, we're not opening for comments, but you
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: can write in the comments under this video. I have
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: a comment when it's open and well, and we'll address it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: We'll address it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: So and I think it was genius because it plays
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: really into the character, and I think it's a beautiful
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: arc we set up in the first act for t Bell.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: You don't know what's going to happen to her right now,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: she's a giant, busty woman. How does she become a.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Tiny little fairy? Love gonna happen?
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: How is she gonna become a little flat fair?
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: How is it gonna happen? Because she goes from bus
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: to flat and that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Transformations and act.

• 22:26
  Speaker 13: who I was. But now I'm teenier than I've ever been.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Before. Richard, come down from there.

  Speaker 7: team when you work with financiers. A lot of time
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: financial people say something and then you have to go.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: What did they mean by that? Ye a lot of translation.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: You realize what you wanted was an on beyond scene,
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: an environment scene where a lot of people are up
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: to something kind of talking about how hard things are.
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: And that's where the seal scene came up.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Well, we did this on the.
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: Pier, the San Diego Pier. We did the entire seal
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: ensemble number one, flapping their friends on.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: That And I love this because it was the first
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: moment you get to hear a little bit of Hook's poetry.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: He's been so embarrassed to share the poetry, so he
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: decides to share it to the seals and they go, wow.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: The seals are the ones that say share it, and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: he shares his poetry.
• 26:06

  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, that's it.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Oh you're right. Sorry.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: Now it's the poetry to be or.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Not to be?
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: That is what I'm thinking of as I'm wondering who
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: I am in.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: This world.
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: To be, or if it's another way to be, maybe I.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Could be anything I wish at all. If I just
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: look at the sun, How does the.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Sun shine that way?
• 27:26
  Speaker 11: How can it shine on my ten fingers when I
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: have so many fingers reflecting the light.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Of the sun as it bounces off my fingernails.
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: As it bounces off my eyes, as it bounces off
• 27:37
  Speaker 13: my hair, and goes everywhere everyone.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: This kid's got something. I think he's got something. Or
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: this kid's got something. I think this kid's something.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Richard, get down from that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: I don't wanna. I want to go to this cool.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: God.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry there too right.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Away that we need to we.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: Should never Richard is always there. But I love this
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: song because it sort of sets up that that San
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Diego is a breeding ground for poets, and it always
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: has been right. You can't look out at those waves
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: without having a bit of poetry come to your mind.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: And so I think that that was just such a
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: brilliant way of using the space.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Halfway through I said, I'm done. I'm just not a performer.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: It's okay, no, no, I'm just not a performer.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, you know what I mean, I'm a director, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: I'm a finance here.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: Totally and a choreographer. Yeah, you're a lot of things.
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: So I thought you maybe was also a performer.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'm.
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: It does lead to performers.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: It seems like it would be natural.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I really particularly love a song that my wife suggested.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Well, this's hard to play this one, is?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: It is quite hard? I told Cream, I just really
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: need this song in the show. Understand. Yeah, it's a
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: good song for It's just a so good song for us.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: Because what I'm and this is something that we fight about,
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: is I want there to be ip potential for this show.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: Right If Hooked is from hook is from Peter Pan,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: we need somewhere else to go from here, And where
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: else do we go? But the man who made hooks
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: hook and we go to his shop and he's got
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: all these wares, and he's got all of these funky
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: sort of Santa Fe inspired metalwork and copper work and
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: brilliant little coca pellis and whatnot.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: My wife went on a silent retreat in the middle
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: of our process.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: I did, I did, I went. I went to New
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Mexico and you have to come next time And this
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: character to come.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: This character is great Steve job Doorknobs, Steve Doorknob, Steve Doorknobs,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Steve John And it's a player and he's and what
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: I love about our direction is that he's he's looking.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: He looks like Steve.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: And so I said, Steve Knobbs would be a great Steve.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: No no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no,
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: it's me Steve Knobbs. It is Steve Doorknobs, the metal
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: metal man, full of many metal musings. And the song
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: makes sense.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Oh God, is it we come? Well?
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Sure? Just to prove to you that it works, I'll
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: sing it. Steve Doorknobs, metal metal man, full of metal,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: metal musing, Steve Doorknobs, metal metal man, full of metal
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: metal musings. Open the door, open the cabinet, full of metal.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Let's shape it, Let's shape it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: It's a top number.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Where are you?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: You are completely off camera right now.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Knock knock, knock, knock, knock, knock knock. That's metal metal,
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: many metal metal, many metal men have many metal musics,
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: and the many metal musics have many many men. Those men,
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: macho men, with their metal metal music, with their metal
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: metal music. When I tell you everyone is going to
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: I don't wanna come down.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: I mean every kid is gonna go. I'm on the
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: tree for Juilliard. Here's my song.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: The amazing thing is the music. I loved it. The
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: music is in four four, the lyrics are in five four.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: And that is something I insist on because this has
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: to be a man who is out of his depth.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: He has to know that he is in the world
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: and he cannot function because he's being asked to do
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: something he's never been asked to do before. You just
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: make a metal hand, and and he's struggling. And this
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: is an entire movie. And why won't you read my screenplay?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: No, it's good, It's really good. I want to say.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: What I liked about this song is that And it's
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: no secret it's number one on our YouTube most watched
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: on our YouTube.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Kim Katrell scatting is what that was very similar to.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Yes, you may also like Kim Katrel scatting.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: Even on the Heat Dogs and boxed it all the
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: sheet Dogs. That's exactly what that was. Yes, yeah, but
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: I look, the screenplay is great. You know we're a
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: musical team. I love that you're branching out to the screenplays.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: And I just think that we could branch out together.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: I just think that if we got a one pager
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: together and we started sending it out, I think that
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: people would go for Steve doorknobs. I think there's a
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: lot to be done here. But no, I guess we'll
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: slot it into the middle of act two when all
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: the other actors are tired and they need to bring
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: in the aging actor with a chair to go sing
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: Steve doorknobs in the middle of the stage, and you
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: could cut it if he's sick.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: We tried doorknobs as the opener for you. We tried
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: it in that rehearse.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Just didn't make any sense.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: The fears said that it worked.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, maybe we're trying to get different audiences. Maybe
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to get an audience who wants to.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Think curious cream. I think you need to speak on
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: this during metal musings.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: There's something I've never seen in sheet music before, uh huh,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: which is a rest with a question mark yes and
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: you get to guess how guess how long the rest is.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Can you speak on that?
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: And the beauty of that as it sort of goes
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: both ways, where the pit has no idea in addition
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: to the performer having no idea, and that's kind of
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: sort of the give and take of what he's going The.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: Confusion is the point. The confusion is the point, and
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: if there were no confusion, the song wouldn't work. And
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: that's what we keep talking about. And I'm so glad
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Cream that you understand what I'm going for. I know
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Cream understands what I'm thinking, even if not everyone does.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: But you know, this musical is so personal and so beautiful.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's really a story about do you do
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: the thing that society is pushing you to become or
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: do you follow your own intentions and do what you
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: want to do. And that's why I think the Act
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: one break is so interesting. We see a man and
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: his arm is his hand is bitten off at the dance,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: at the dance dance, the big dance, and somebody invites
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the crocodile, and the crocodile bites his arma.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: So somebody of yeah, we we it's it's.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: The beginning of you know where it's going.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: It's the San Diego Dance, It's the Neverland Dance, and
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: it's actually we haven't talked about this, yet there's a
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: lot of changes between what we start from at the
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: beginning of our show and Peter Pan.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: It's actually called always Land at the beginning.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Because because at the end of the musical you'll see
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: why it becomes never Never Land.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: So it's called always Always Land, and it's always Always
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: Land annual Dance, and it's just they.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Have one dance a year.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: And this is one of my favorite, one of my
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: favorite numbers in the whole musical.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: So Richard is there, Captain Hook is there, the crocodile
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: is there. Her name is Jinzabella and she is there.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: And Jinzabella played by another girl I met at the Jimmies. Yeah,
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: she's great.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: She has arranged what's her name, I don't know, Okay,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: just girl at the Jimmies.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you really had a big part in this song.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to talk about what it
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: was like to write this and what you were aiming for.
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, when I was initially pitched the Always Always Dance, Uh,
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: it sort of felt like kind of proms It sort
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: of felt like brilliant.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: How did you mean.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it was like coming together of the community,
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: but it was it wasn't just for high school. It
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: was kind of for anybody.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Uh right, It's an all ages dance. And that's what's
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: so great about San Diego is that you have the
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: freedom in the space to play and do that.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, which is fabulous. I felt like it can I
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: ask you?
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, Cream, No, everyone is san Diego something
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: we have to.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Put in this music.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: It's already there, darling.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: But sometimes I feel as if from the creatives, you
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: guys are pushing san Diego.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: Something, something very monumental happened to us in San Diego.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: We were playing a game of sucking blow cards. We
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: were in a in a hotel room.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: In an omni playing sock and go with the cards.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: And does everyone know sucking blow? Do you guys know something?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: We played sucking blow every once in a while, so.
• 36:49
  Speaker 6: It's game, a good family game you can do.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: You want to explain what it is?
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: From my understanding when I've played, when we've played, h
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: it's it's sort of the passing of a car. Yeah,
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: So I'll yes, yes, exactly, and I'll suck, suck, suck,
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: and then I go to pass it to the next player, uh,
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: preferably a family member or a sibling preferably, and I
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: don't blow yet, but I still suck. You suck until
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: they start, stay sucking until I feel them suck.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, explained.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: And then and only then do I blow. But that's
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: just how I've played.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's how we play, Okay.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Exactly until you blow and the critical moment between suck
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: and blow when there's ice communication.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Look, we all know suck blow.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: We all played probably some of the most popular games.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: We all retired. When we're stressed, we break out a
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: game of sucking blow.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the best party games being alive.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: So my wife and mister Kreem ended up kissing.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: In the chasm the Marianna's trench between suck and blow.
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Anything can happen.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: Something horrible happened, something not sucking, and the blow was
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: blowing and the card fell.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: Because I take responsibility for this because I blew too early.
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: Okay, it ended up being sort of a beautiful thing
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: because it's it's kind of what led to that rest
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: with the question mark, because really that's a little bit
• 38:32
  Speaker 6: how we felt. When do we suck, when do we blow?
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: When do we start? We go? Where do we go
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: from here? Exactly?
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: When do we stuck whether and why?
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: A San Diego?
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: So that's where the hotel was.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Does anything happened? What does anything happen anywhere.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: The hotel we kissed? We kissed it. It was in
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: San Diego. It changed everything for me.
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: And that's where.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: They have a sea world.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you keep asking this. This is
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the thirtieth time I've heard this story.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: But I mean this did I.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: I don't want to jump the story, but we should
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: show when the lost boys play suck and blow?
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: And I too sure. I love this one. I can
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: sing it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: This is lost Boys pre Peter Pan.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: And they weren't they were not lost yet.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Oh no, this isn't it. It's more of about suck
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and blow. Sorry, you're right, I totally thank you.
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: That's it, suck and blow and suck and blow and
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: suck and how the game goes suck and suck and
• 39:27
  Speaker 7: go and where we blow.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: And help one knows.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: I want to suck.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I want to blow?
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Why I suck?
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Why I blow?
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Oh yes?
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Oh no, oh yes, oh no oh I sucked, but
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: I didn't blow.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Richard, get off the broom.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: I want to go to school so that you two
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: work together something happened, I know magic.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: That was one of the best songs we played all time.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I mean the visual image of a bunch of boys
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: playing suck and blow nonstock.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: And you wouldn't believe they're going up and down and
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: some are squatting when the others substending after the others
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: are standing the others a squatic.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: That's the type of song you can hear the choreography in.
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: Thee which is really nice with that. That is basically
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: our merch pony right, remoking making a lot of shirts,
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: making a lot of haf that they suck and blow.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hooked with the hook. Yeah, we have
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: a hook that you can buy that you can wear.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: It says suck and blow along the hook.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, really cute stuff.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get too serious, but I do
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: want to talk about one of my favorite parts in
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the musical. Dialla's lost moment and Hook has to make
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: the choice is he going to put on the hook
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and become Captain Hook like his name was, or he's
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: going to put on the hand with a pen and
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: become Captain Pen.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: And what I loved about this was, I remember I
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: told the creative team, I said, I love in Hamilton
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: when the bullet is an actor, so I want the
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: hook to be an actor.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: And we got the girl who's also playing the alligator.
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and she is from Circus Sole and I I
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: can't I can't quite figure her out on a human being.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: She wasn't before this, but hard a hard chat.
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: She does a lot of what.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: This week. And she was like, I was an old Vegas,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: old Vegas.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and everything she's you say to her,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: it almost feels like she is offendant. She kind of
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: goes like what, and You're like, I'm just trying.
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: To I'm just trying.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to take something.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: But she has such a good arch, she's.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Such a good art. That must have been forty five
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: minutes of it.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: She was so mean about it. I saw that she
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: was so mean. She was like mad at you.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a fantastic actress and.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: A great actress person.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: So yes, that that crucial choice, of course, between becoming
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: a poet or becoming a pirate, and the word poet
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: is very close to pirate, and which we.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: When we realized that, oh god, we were screaming.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: It was like the whole play open up, wrote my
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: exs La Francie, and I said, oh my.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I believe in God. I was like, oh, God is here.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: God must exist. Otherwise poet and pirate wouldn't sound similarly.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: They don't rhyme, but they.
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Do sound similar. And I think I suspect it's the
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: pea sound, but I'm not a doctor.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: P T would give it up the T as well.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Are you serious? Think about it? Poets?
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: God is real. God is real, and he's with us.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: God is good.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Poet or pirate? Poet or pirate. This is something that
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: we had.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: He was, I love that, and it's so hard that
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: it's off because you know, there's some dissonance.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, choice, So that's the whole song.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: That's the whole song. That's the whole song. And he's thinking,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: so we wrote the first internal song. What we want
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to say is we wrote all the book, the entire lyrics,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: but it's happening internally in hooks.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, And can I tell you why that that note
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: popped out? You might not know.
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: I was standing over him as he was writing it,
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: and I dropped a big old gummy bear dear, huge horribo,
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: and that's the gummy that's the gummy I.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Would whoop shake like a race car.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: And you hear this in our opening theme. I think
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: it's gorgeous.
• 43:46
  Speaker 9: Redchard, Redchard, and I wish you guys could hear the
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: lyrics of that song. They're so good and it's so
• 43:54
  Speaker 9: beautiful because right at the end he goes, I now
• 43:57
  Speaker 9: know I have to pick up the.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Hook, and then Act two opens, Richard has finally become
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: shmim m.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty incredible.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing right that, So that song that all
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: his last moment happens right at the end of Act on,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: right before he goes to the dance, and we.
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: Have our actor his name is his name is Vincent Avongo,
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: and he's he's sitting up on this platform the whole show, Richard.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: That's what get down from the get down from there.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: It's kind of like the musical Once the musical they
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: had that platform above the bar, and so we have
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: him just sitting up there and he's pre show and
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: he's actually pre pre show.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: He has to call.
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: His call is at three and he needs to be
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: on that platform by four.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: Sandwich when we do Mike.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Check smelly turkey Sandwich.
• 44:36
