Darren Criss and Cole Escola ‘Oh, Mary!’ and their Broadway connection

Darren Criss, directly “Oh, Mary!” The Creator is Stash between Escola and the phone’s pillows. The former Glee star has a list of questions on the cell on the “Maybe Happy Sona” Broadway, Escola and forgets them.

“I will leave and think, ‘What did I ask the Cole?'” He says a proper student. Duo sits to discuss their experiences that start the most nervous original production of the Broadway season. In a year full of leap poles and screen adaptations, the audience is “perhaps a happy ending”, two robots in love and “Oh, Mary!” Abraham Lincoln’s wife “Oh, Mary!” Fell for a musical musical.

The original thing may be risky, but the whiffers point the perks: “No one is loading with waiting or comparison.”

Escola, a satanic glow in his eyes, a devil and interference, “Well, people who know Mary Todd Lincoln … We came to see some of the shows of some friends.”

In their playful conversation, Escola and Criss, “Oh, Mary!” Talking on purposely ignoring on their participation (“nobody enters”I thought it was historically accurate“Escola says” and the complexity describes an Android technically ambitious “perhaps a happy ending” (“I think a robot?

Cole School: How do we meet?

Darren Criss: Allow me, about 10 years ago, a friend, Benj Pasek and I went to see one of your duplex shows.

School: I would do a solo sketch show and wrote a new clock every month, I would write a new hour to challenge myself.

Cream: That is, I remember that it was taken. I have a short list on my phone people I want …

School: … kill.

Cream: To kill. Immediately destroy. No, people who want to work with me and work. The name was in a small list for a long time, and then I asked Benj, “Will you close us?” At that time, I was drawn at Glee and I do not know what in the world we want to cut, but some of them want to be in your life.

School: Well, now a block of blocks away from each other. You destroyed me another night. In this way, children, bride …

Cream: I wouldn’t have flattered myself.

School: “Maybe happily ended” before two show I went to a matinee and I was a baby who cried. And then I walked a block from a block until high school theater.

Cream: “Oh, Mary!” It feels like a laboratory for people who subscribe to such humor and aesthetics. I also don’t know “I don’t know it to Broadway” – not in a pessimistic way, but not in an honest way.

School: No, a little pessimistic way. Darren, you always had it for me. This list has …

Cream: Why did you bring the show to Broadway? Broadway was such a massive shot, a fear should be a degree.

School: We will be afraid of what we fear and we will get too big for our meat. When the manufacturers want, “Why would I say no?”

Cream: (His phone’s excitement turns off.) Shit, sorry. If Patti Lupone hears this, I pulled out of the fucking window.

School: Birth control excitement?

Cream: It’s too late for this – I have two children under 3 years old.

School: It shows two children under 3 and a week in eight weeks.

Cream: If I set the jokes aside, the most beautiful adjustment. Because it’s nice to have a table and being with my kids.

School: It’s nice not to be kids.

Cream: I hope you love this dream. I love this so much for you. You’re off work your ass.

School: You do so. I love the physical aspect of your show. But I know you are doing the same movement again eight times a week, a sudden, “O God …” (The school wins) When I watched, I thought it hurt you when I wake up.

Cream: I must say, the easiest part of my show day, as a parent under 3 years old.

School: Oh, come. Get out of here.

Cream: Is true. The life of the little ones is ballistic and uncontrolled; Sweet and measured because you go to a show below two hours. I do not envy our colleagues who try their spirits eight times a week for three hours.

I did not write this show. Because you are the commander of this ship, Mary changing, “I will do” this Now “?

School: No, we’ve found the best version of the story so I want to keep it as tight as possible. But I did not write this for a long time without knowing what I did.

When Tituss speaks Burgess and Betty Galpin (both the substitute, playing in Mary in Broadway), was like Tituss, “said,” you should write more water breaks.

Cream: Why “Oh, Mary!” Linear like a game?

School: I thought it would be visual and tonally, fun. I wrote in 2020, but I had my opinion in 2009. I was afraid that once I got it on paper, it would not be as good as those who were in my head.

Cream: Every artist is a healthy thing.

School: To avoid 12 years? Though it is funny. My Midlife crisis started before this game – early starting average life crisis, by the way; I am very young for the real secondary nature crisis – and then returned completely during the show break. This game did not solve any personal problem for me.

Cream: There is another mountain.

School: No. It’s the same mountain. Did you make theater when you grow up?

Cream: Yes. I did “in the paid on the roof.” “You were” Fiddler “?

School: I was Mendel, Ravvi’s son. Line “and my cheese, Rem Tevye?”

Cream: I rejected Tevse. It was my leading role. I did not have much leading roles.

School: I was 15 years old. I would show up three hours early theater to make my makeup. The school’s theater teacher Dana Brown, made me a great impression. Everyone was afraid of Dana Brown. It had strange rules, if you died in the show, you haven’t bent the curtain call for breaking the magic. However, how I wanted to protect the audience. It is like the witch of the West …

Cream: Died.

School: … He doesn’t buy a bow. Sorry, your lover – this is the price you pay. “Oh, Mary!” Sometimes bits grow or feel them. But if you buy a lot, you can go away from the story from the story to the audience. So sometimes I just need to hit the notes.

Cream: I don’t have to follow my show. But you have passed your role to other people. When Betty Galpin came in, you first watched the show?

School: Yes. It was not asreaem in everything. I was just like “how lovely to play”.

“Maybe Happy Son”, your actions are reflected in the way the scene is changed – and the boxes around you are a slip. Do you have technical checks?

Cream: These happen and have been beating Michael Arden’s life for several years. It is worried about those things, but it happens. I heard that Steven Spielberg came to the show.

School: Tony went to the city of Lortal with the area of ​​Kouchner and Sally. It was very sweet. I was in advance – because because they do “Lincoln” – it will be “This is in poor taste.“But they were completely good.

Cream: Steven also came to our show. It’s hard not to be completely startup. It is part of a piece of fun. It appeared and we drew his time and attention throughout the lifetime for two hours.

School: I heard it was on the phone all the time. I’m joking. This clip of this nancy Silverton is reminiscent of this clip that makes this dessert for the child Julia.

Cream: And he cries? I love this clip.

School: I too. Because I am “I’m,” Oh, Nancy should feel very good to be Silverton, do Julia cry with how delicious your child’s dessert is? “Someone I admire” Oh, Mary! “It’s like this,” You gave me a lot. I want to give you something a little back. “
