2:00
Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls fan, like I'll obsessed with it. So when
2:04
Speaker 2: I was doing Xanadu on Broadway, I heard that Amy
2:08
Speaker 2: and Sherman Paldino was doing a sitcom in Brooklyn, and
2:12
Speaker 2: I started I never read the book The Secret or anything,
2:15
Speaker 2: but I started manifesting meeting Amy because I'm like, this
2:19
Speaker 2: is my my dream would be to like work with
2:22
Speaker 2: her because I was obsessed with Gilmore Girls. So one
2:25
Speaker 2: day my agent says to me, so, you know, I'm sorry,
2:28
Speaker 2: but there's this producer that wants to meet you. She's
2:31
Speaker 2: seen the show nine times, she's a big fan. Would
2:34
Speaker 2: you mind meeting her afterwards? And I was like, oh,
2:37
Speaker 2: of course, yeah, and I was like, yeah, who is it?
2:39
Speaker 2: And they were like Amy Shearman.
2:40
Speaker 1: Palladino, Oho, what wow?
2:45
Speaker 2: I met her, We became friends, and she knew what
2:49
Speaker 2: a psycho fan I was, and she actually said, I'm
2:53
Speaker 2: going to write a part for you on the show.
2:56
Speaker 1: Is that right? She said that to you? What did
3:00
Speaker 1: that feel like? Eh?
3:02
Speaker 2: I mean just the whole thing was dream. I got
3:04
Speaker 2: to go on that little park, I got to walk
3:07
Speaker 2: to this gazebo, and I was also on with Sutton Foster,
3:12
Speaker 2: who's another huge Carolyn also Amy loves her, so the
3:16
Speaker 2: two of us were there together and fangirling the whole time,
3:19
Speaker 2: just at the set and everyone we were so excited.
3:24
Speaker 2: I was definitely pinching myself when she called me and said,
3:28
Speaker 2: can you work it out in your schedule? Because I
3:30
Speaker 2: think I was. I think I was in a show
3:32
Speaker 2: at the time. And she even worked my shooting like
3:35
Speaker 2: on Mondays my day off.
3:37
Speaker 1: Right, right, Wow, that's terrific. So tell us about the
3:40
Speaker 1: first day on set. What was it like? I mean,
3:43
Speaker 1: I remember who did you meet? Who do you remember meeting?
3:46
Speaker 1: And what was it like? Yeah?
3:47
Speaker 2: I remember just going on this set and seeing all
3:50
Speaker 2: Miss Patty's dance studio, all those places and just dying
3:56
Speaker 2: and I took pictures everywhere, and then I got to
4:01
Speaker 2: meet Lauren, who was amazing. And I think all of
4:06
Speaker 2: my scenes were pretty much with Lauren.
4:13
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't Kelly.
4:15
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, But I didn't have any other
4:19
Speaker 2: scenes besides the ones in the Oh no, no, I
4:22
Speaker 2: had the fun scene where I actually sang, so she
4:24
Speaker 2: would even put singing into the show. On fact, Dan
4:30
Speaker 2: wrote the song that I sang in the show.
4:33
Speaker 1: That was a terrific show, that was so funny.
4:35
Speaker 3: That was actually my favorite parts so far the Netflix
4:38
Speaker 3: episode is that that musical, The Stars Hollow Musical, was
4:42
Speaker 3: the most brilliantly written, the most the funniest thing I
4:46
Speaker 3: have seen on that show in.
4:47
Speaker 1: A long time. And I thought Sutton killed it. I
4:50
Speaker 1: thought she just killed it.
4:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, really tremendous fun And I bet you Dan had
4:56
Speaker 3: a blast writing it too, because the lyrics were hysterical.
5:00
Speaker 2: Yeah. He ended up giving me a copy of it.
5:04
Speaker 3: Oh really yeah, Wow, that's that's very special. So you're
5:09
Speaker 3: sitting across from the two of them, we're talking about
5:11
Speaker 3: Kelly Bishop and Lauren Graham, and you're just going back
5:14
Speaker 3: and forth with a Quick Dial.
5:15
Speaker 1: Did it make you nervous at all?
5:17
Speaker 3: Now, coming from a musical theater background, I always found
5:22
Speaker 3: those actors to be really mindful of hitting their cues,
5:26
Speaker 3: and they just seem to be have a heightened awareness
5:31
Speaker 3: when they're on an acting set, you know, knowing the
5:34
Speaker 3: real basic nuts and bolts of what it is to
5:37
Speaker 3: you know, timing, comedic timing, and it's like, you guys
5:40
Speaker 3: are really on it. Did you find it difficult to
5:43
Speaker 3: fit in or with the pace of the show because
5:45
Speaker 3: it didn't seem like it at all.
5:47
Speaker 4: No.
5:47
Speaker 2: I felt it difficult to not laugh at the two
5:49
Speaker 2: of them because they were so funny. Those scenes were
5:53
Speaker 2: so funny, and to just act like I was annoyed
5:56
Speaker 2: with them.
5:56
Speaker 1: And right, right, right, what? So what? What are your
6:00
Speaker 1: fondest memories of filming that?
6:04
Speaker 2: I think? Honestly, it was watching the two of them together.
6:08
Speaker 2: I mean, they are just such masters at that that
6:12
Speaker 2: writing and the comedy and and and also there were
6:16
Speaker 2: really heartfelt moments, like Lauren uh had this amazing monologue
6:22
Speaker 2: that was, you know, very heartfelt, and so I just
6:27
Speaker 2: felt like I was watching two masters at work. You know.
6:33
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite episode in the Netflix episodes.
6:36
Speaker 1: Did you watch all of them?
6:38
Speaker 4: Oh?
6:38
Speaker 2: Of course, of course I watched all of them, but
6:42
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, the first the first section
6:45
Speaker 2: before I was on is More my favorite. Like I
6:48
Speaker 2: loved when when Rory was little and all the going
6:51
Speaker 2: to the prep school, all that stuff from the very
6:53
Speaker 2: very beginning was was my favorite.
6:55
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, So again I think we we touched.
7:00
Speaker 3: What was your reaction when you finally saw Stars Hollow
7:04
Speaker 3: the musical?
7:06
Speaker 2: I thought it was hilarious and really well done, and
7:11
Speaker 2: I was just so excited to be a part of it.
7:13
Speaker 2: And the funny thing is, I'm sure you know this
7:16
Speaker 2: that Gilmore Girls has this incredible life now with all tweens,
7:20
Speaker 2: and I have a thirteen year old, so now I'm
7:23
Speaker 2: suddenly the cool mom again because all of her friends
7:26
Speaker 2: are like, I saw your mom on guilm Girls. Yeah,
7:31
Speaker 2: and my daughter has Gilmore Girls pajamas, and it's like
7:34
Speaker 2: I always dreamed that I would get to watch the
7:37
Speaker 2: Gilmore Girls with my daughter. The only thing is she
7:39
Speaker 2: doesn't want to watch with me.
7:40
Speaker 3: She watches friends.
7:45
Speaker 1: No.
7:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's disappointing.
7:48
Speaker 4: Oh my god, we do.
7:49
Speaker 2: But whenever fall comes around, I feel like it's time again,
7:52
Speaker 2: we have to start watching Gilmore Girls again now.
7:54
Speaker 1: So you've never watched the show with your daughter ever.
7:58
Speaker 2: I forced her to watch with me a few times.
8:00
Speaker 2: She loves it.
8:01
Speaker 1: I told her.
8:02
Speaker 2: She was very excited that I was doing this podcast
8:04
Speaker 2: with you today, as I was. But she doesn't want
8:07
Speaker 2: to watch with me for some reason.
8:09
Speaker 1: So just as she gets together with her friends and
8:11
Speaker 1: they just watch.
8:12
Speaker 2: It, or they're watching it at the same time, and
8:14
Speaker 2: you know, like texting each other, you know about it.
8:18
Speaker 1: What is it about this show?
8:20
Speaker 3: You know? You know going through these episodes, you know,
8:23
Speaker 3: because I never saw it, and that was the premise
8:25
Speaker 3: of the podcast. That's what I pitched. I just never
8:29
Speaker 3: like watching myself. I didn't want to watch the show. Yea, yeah,
8:33
Speaker 3: you know, I think most actors are like that, and and.
8:36
Speaker 1: So I never really saw it. I saw the I
8:40
Speaker 1: saw Winter at the.
8:41
Speaker 3: Premiere because I was forced to sit there with a
8:43
Speaker 3: captive audience. But that's the only thing I ever saw.
8:47
Speaker 3: I saw the pilot episode, which I liked, but I
8:52
Speaker 3: never saw any of the other one hundred and fifty
8:53
Speaker 3: two episodes. And I never saw the three other Netflix episodes.
8:57
Speaker 3: So that's basis of the podcast. And finding out how
9:02
Speaker 3: darn funny this thing is.
9:04
Speaker 1: I never I look.
9:05
Speaker 3: I was in all the table reads, I was in
9:07
Speaker 3: a lot of the scenes. I know it's funny. I
9:10
Speaker 3: know it's high quality. You know it's sophisticated comedy. These
9:13
Speaker 3: are very very witty people, Amy and Dan very well read,
9:19
Speaker 3: various studie people, and this humor is really sophisticated, and
9:23
Speaker 3: it's coming at you. Not only is it coming at
9:25
Speaker 3: you fast and furious, but it's coming at you in
9:28
Speaker 3: groups of ten great lines.
9:30
Speaker 1: I mean, it speeds by so fast.
9:33
Speaker 3: And this is the reason why people continue to rewatch it.
9:36
Speaker 3: It's a lot of things, but I think the primary
9:38
Speaker 3: reason is the level of humor. You get the level
9:42
Speaker 3: of great jokes, the unexpected one liners, And it doesn't
9:46
Speaker 3: matter how many times you've seen it. You can't remember
9:49
Speaker 3: all of the singers, and it's always a surprise, so
9:52
Speaker 3: it always seems fresh. Do you find that as well
9:55
Speaker 3: when you're watching these episodes?
9:56
Speaker 2: One nd percent? And even when I watched it, you know,
9:59
Speaker 2: the first time, I thought, oh, they must be theater writers,
10:01
Speaker 2: because they would have very obscure theater references in there.
10:07
Speaker 2: So yes, I always thought it was hilarious. But also
10:11
Speaker 2: I just there's just it's like comfort food. It's so
10:16
Speaker 2: loving and refreshing to see that relationship between a mother
10:21
Speaker 2: and a daughter. To see you know, her love affair
10:25
Speaker 2: with your character, it was just so sweet and beautiful.
10:31
Speaker 1: Yeah.
10:32
Speaker 3: I have to tell you the experience of this now,
10:36
Speaker 3: the way that it continues to grow and capture younger
10:39
Speaker 3: and younger audiences. Every generation is discovering this show. I
10:46
Speaker 3: just how can you envision twenty five years ago that
10:50
Speaker 3: something would be have such staying power and that it
10:53
Speaker 3: would continue to grow in popularity. I mean, it's it's
10:56
Speaker 3: absolutely bizarre. It's a real phenomenon in the industry.
11:00
Speaker 1: It really really is.
11:01
Speaker 2: It's timeless the show because it's well written.
11:04
Speaker 1: It's timeless, right, It's going to stand up forever. Yes,
11:09
Speaker 1: because of the quality of the writing.
11:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I mean these two really really accomplished
11:14
Speaker 3: something special. There's a there's a there's a sort of
11:17
Speaker 3: an honorary Emmy in.
11:20
Speaker 1: Store for these two, I guess. I mean I think
11:22
Speaker 1: there has to be.
11:23
Speaker 2: I would be so upset every Emmy season, like, how
11:27
Speaker 2: is everyone not getting Amy in this show? I mean,
11:30
Speaker 2: even because the acting quality was just phenomenal, you know,
11:35
Speaker 2: I don't.
11:36
Speaker 3: I think the critics didn't know what to make of it.
11:41
Speaker 3: I think they didn't know what to make of it.
11:42
Speaker 3: I think, is this a drama? Is it a comedy?
11:45
Speaker 3: We know it's funny, it's dramatic, it's a drama, but
11:49
Speaker 3: I just never understood it myself.
11:52
Speaker 1: And to have a show of it's actually.
11:56
Speaker 3: Kind of a unique category to be in because there's
11:59
Speaker 3: plenty of great actors and great performances, great productions that
12:02
Speaker 3: never got nominated for anything. I mean, if you go
12:04
Speaker 3: through the list, it's like, wait a minute, how but
12:06
Speaker 3: she don't even get nominated for what this guy or
12:09
Speaker 3: Meryl Street or whomever, or Kate Blanchette and everything she does.
12:14
Speaker 3: You know, it's amazing how often great things in this
12:18
Speaker 3: business are completely overlooked. So you gotta wonder what's going
12:22
Speaker 3: on behind the scenes. You know, it's like who's carrying
12:25
Speaker 3: the brain's what's happening?
12:36
Speaker 1: Now? Do you know Sutton Foster? Did you know?
12:38
Speaker 3: Do you know her from your brother? So it's a
12:40
Speaker 3: small community of people, right, and so you know her.
12:43
Speaker 2: Sutton actually understudied me in Lee Miss when she was
12:46
Speaker 2: like eighteen years old.
12:48
Speaker 1: Is that right. So she was kind of a phenom
12:50
Speaker 1: coming out of high school.
12:52
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, she didn't go to she went straight
12:55
Speaker 2: to Broadway.
12:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you kidding me? From high school?
12:59
Speaker 2: Yep?
12:59
Speaker 4: What elite?
13:00
Speaker 1: Where? Now? Where is she from? Is she from the Northeast?
13:03
Speaker 2: Her brother is Hunter Foster and I had already or
13:05
Speaker 2: I did a show with her brother too. I did
13:08
Speaker 2: Little Hearts with mm hm.
13:10
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
13:11
Speaker 3: So it's in the blood. It's in the blood in
13:13
Speaker 3: that Foster family.
13:14
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, wow, what a talent. And she was also
13:19
Speaker 2: a huge fan of the Gilmore Girls. So both of
13:21
Speaker 2: us were like.
13:23
Speaker 3: There, now isn't Amy doing something with Sutton now on Broadways?
13:27
Speaker 1: That she writing in a musical.
13:30
Speaker 2: The Mattress Once Upon a Mattress. I think that's what
13:35
Speaker 2: it's called. Yeah, yeah, it's a limit okay? And Amy
13:38
Speaker 2: wrote it and Sotton's in its the star.
13:41
Speaker 1: Yeah all right.
13:44
Speaker 3: So so after the episode you filmed for Amy for
13:49
Speaker 3: Gilmore Girls their revival, she brought you in for a
13:52
Speaker 3: role in mysell and the Marvelous Missus myself. Uh, what
13:57
Speaker 3: was the role? What was it like working with her again?
14:00
Speaker 2: Well? This time I feel like last time she didn't
14:04
Speaker 2: direct the show or this time, you know, it was
14:06
Speaker 2: just there's so much going on in our episode was
14:12
Speaker 2: one day where they were just shooting this scene with
14:15
Speaker 2: a million different things going on, a huge restaurant, tons
14:18
Speaker 2: of extras, and so it was really exciting to see
14:21
Speaker 2: her in her element as the director and just how
14:25
Speaker 2: everybody loved her and just getting everything, putting all the
14:30
Speaker 2: pieces together, getting everything done. So that was exciting. And
14:34
Speaker 2: we've stayed friends all of this time, so she's always
14:38
Speaker 2: looking for parts for me.
14:39
Speaker 3: Oh that's great. So you see her, you go to
14:42
Speaker 3: lunch for her. Do you live do you live in
14:45
Speaker 3: the city.
14:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I moved out to New Jersey, but I
14:48
Speaker 2: did live in the city forever.
14:51
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's great. All right, So let's talk about
14:56
Speaker 3: this Aaron Hernandez thing which took over the headlines for
15:01
Speaker 3: a while. So you've done plenty of drama and now
15:08
Speaker 3: with your episodes just mirroring the in the Ryan Murphy
15:11
Speaker 3: American Sports story. Aaron Hernanz, which do you prefer working
15:15
Speaker 3: on musicals or drama?
15:18
Speaker 2: I think I prefer musicals. I mean, it's great to
15:25
Speaker 2: stretch that muscle, and obviously it's fun to be on TV.
15:31
Speaker 2: But like I'm doing. I created this show with my
15:34
Speaker 2: friends girl. Now we're going we just did it in
15:37
Speaker 2: la like two days ago, and we're going to have
15:40
Speaker 2: an off Broadway run. And it's just there's just something
15:44
Speaker 2: so magical about being in front of the audience and
15:46
Speaker 2: hearing the act right there, like having the palm of
15:50
Speaker 2: your hand. And this show I do with my friends,
15:55
Speaker 2: which is even more fun, and we created it. So
15:57
Speaker 2: it's just there's just noing like live theater.
16:01
Speaker 1: You know, there is nothing.
16:02
Speaker 3: More vital than live theater when it's done well, I agree, nothing,
16:07
Speaker 3: nothing comes close to it. So you're saying, is you
16:10
Speaker 3: prefer the live theater experience that you're used to to
16:13
Speaker 3: portraying characters in a psycho sports, murder, documentary styles serious
16:21
Speaker 3: limited series, you would prefer to be on stage with
16:24
Speaker 3: your friends, singing and dancing, magazine laugh.
16:27
Speaker 2: Go exactly exactly. If you choose, like what I'm going
16:30
Speaker 2: to put out into the world, especially now, I think
16:33
Speaker 2: I choose joy and maybe laugh and bringing people together.
16:38
Speaker 2: Not that there is a place for the other.
16:41
Speaker 3: There's always going to be a place in people's hearts
16:44
Speaker 3: for psycho sports murders, dramas.
16:46
Speaker 1: There's absolutely an audience, and by golly, I'll be tuning
16:54
Speaker 1: in just to catch your performance. I'm curious to see
16:58
Speaker 1: what you did. What did you do in that? What
17:00
Speaker 1: did you do in that?
17:01
Speaker 2: I played Urban Meyer's wife. Oh okay, yeah, so old person.
17:08
Speaker 2: And who played Urban Meyer Tony Yasbeck, who is also
17:12
Speaker 2: a huge Broadway star, big, big dancer, and this was
17:16
Speaker 2: his kind of big break for TV.
17:18
Speaker 3: And he's, oh, that's you, guys. You go, there's something
17:21
Speaker 3: about you too. That said to Ryan Murphy, I gotta
17:26
Speaker 3: bring him in for the sports psycho murder thing, you know,
17:30
Speaker 3: gotta have them.
17:31
Speaker 2: Well, this one, this one I did have to audition for.
17:34
Speaker 2: I didn't get it just because I'm friends.
17:37
Speaker 1: Now, you didn't.
17:38
Speaker 4: You had to.
17:40
Speaker 1: You had to earn that. Wow.
17:41
Speaker 3: Well, not saying you wouldn't earn if you got the offer,
17:43
Speaker 3: but that's amazing. Okay, so extensive theater work.
17:48
Speaker 2: Most TV stuff I auditioned for.
17:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, TV's tough is tough. It's a tough crowd. Okay.
17:54
Speaker 3: And you now teach a class called Breaking into Broadway
18:00
Speaker 3: and it's a digital course for musical theater performers. What
18:02
Speaker 3: is your number one advice for someone wanting to make
18:05
Speaker 3: it on Broadway. Let's say, at my age, I came

18:13
Speaker 3: never been on Broadway. I'd like to try it.
18:16
Speaker 4: Oh.
18:16
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I was considered for the
18:22
Speaker 3: lead role in Chicago, the New York production of Chicago.
18:26
Speaker 1: Sure that couldn't well.
18:28
Speaker 2: For now, you broadly be lucky to have you so,
18:33
Speaker 2: but sim you so you hadn't had this amazing career.

Speaker 2: Then I would say, find the thing that makes you special,
18:42
Speaker 2: like find your special sauce. You do that nobody else
18:46
Speaker 2: can do. And like I could say, for you, it's
18:47
Speaker 2: that kind of like dark comedy.

19:05
Speaker 2: and lead with that, and the parts will come to
19:07
Speaker 2: you that you have.
19:11
Speaker 3: Hopefully Amy and Dan will write me a Broadway musical
