It was a lot of pressure and a lot of responsibility that I was really privileged and grateful to get to take on. This is a part that I know very intimately and that I feel very lucky I was given the opportunity to bring to fruition in the film. I know that’s not an opportunity that’s often afforded to theater actor, to get to be the one to immorta...
So many of them are satisfying in that way. One that sticks out is “For Forever” — the scene in the dining room where the Murphys invite Evan over for dinner. I think the intimacy of the way that scene moves into the song and the way that Evan starts to tell the story directly to Amy and Danny and Kaitlyn at the table, the textural difference is so...
Totally. I think, much like everybody in the last couple of years because of the world ending and then starting and then ending, I’ve evolved as a person. I’m not fully there… is anyone fully there? But I feel a little more comfortable in who I am and my skin, and I have a partner who loves me and that I love. I’m firmly planted on the ground in wh...
There’s so many. I really like “Summer Nights” [from “Grease”] because then it can be a duet with Sandy and you can get all of your friends to play the T-Birds and Pink Ladies. It can be a group moment. Also, there’s not as much pressure to, like, perform. Often when I do karaoke, especially if it’s a show tune, I feel this weird pressure to actual...
Ooh, I feel like we’ve heard “Memory” enough times in karaoke. I mean, I love “Memory” and I think it’s great in the context of “Cats,” but we’ve heard it. We’ve had a lot of covers of it, and I think we’re good.
Amy Adams:I was late to the game, so I didn’t see it until 2019. I immediately was obsessed. I downloaded the album, shared it with my daughter and then brought her back three weeks later with my husband. I think they thought I was a little crazy, going twice in a month. I’m not typically this ambitious, but I immediately called my agent and said, ...
Adams: It’s very different, clearly. [Laughs]Watching this and watching other musicals, one of the things that was so beautiful about the way they approach the music is they never wanted it to feel like a performance. They always wanted it to feel like a conversation. I kept thinking of it as singing “in” as opposed to singing “out.” There’s an int...
Adams: When I look at the heavy lifting that Ben and Kaitlyn and so much of the cast did in this, I feel like… there’s two sides to it. I feel like, boy, if I mess this up, it’s going to be glaringly obvious because we’re singing with Ben Platt, who’s one of the best singers I’ve ever been in the company of. That does elevate the pressure you put o...
Adams:It depends on the room, really. The one I have most fun singing is “Defying Gravity,” but you either have to sing Glinda or you’ve got to have a real good Glinda. Can you hit Elphaba’s high note at the end? Adams:It depends on the day. That’s always the goal. I love singing anything from Elphaba in “Wicked” because it’s a role my voice is not...
I got the script in my inbox. Stephen Chbosky wanted to have a meeting with me. I thought we were going to have a general meeting, and then I was going to audition.
