Jessie Mueller

So it's hard to pick a favorite because so much of it is tied to the performance of the song.

But yeah i definitely oh gosh i love joaquina doing what i'm here to find that's or jesse mueller singing gold i mean i remember seeing hearing the hearing that track for the first time after it was mixed and i was sitting in my car and daniel said you have to daniel is our wonderful musical supervisor and he did the arrangements and he said you have to listen to it right now he said put in a good pair of know earphones and listen to it and i sat there and cried and i said oh my god i can't believe what you've done i mean this whole thing is about collaboration right you take a song you take a what you think is a good idea and you hand it to a genius a musical genius like daniel and he explodes it into this gorgeous arrangement with you know we hired a symphony to play on a bunch of the tracks and then you get somebody like jesse mueller singing and then suddenly it like it turns from the seed that you had into this massive beautiful expression of something that is beyond myself.

I think the consistent factor in every iteration of Wild About You has been the casts, because the Drury Lane cast was, I'm trying to remember, so it was Eric McCormack, Todrick Hall, Rachel Tucker, Jamie Moscato, I'm forgetting one or two.

Incredible cast.

Casey Levy, who won last year for Ragtime, or the year before last.

Jesse Mueller, who I... love and adore and wish would star in more stuff.

She won a Tony for Beautiful, the Carole King musical.

Obviously, Patti LuPone is a Tony Award winner three times for Evita, Gypsy and Company.

Sure.

Jesse Mueller, who I'm also seeing tonight, uh, number 42, which, way, way too far.

She needs to be closer.

Um-

And so...

it was this credible, like longing to say like, gosh, what I wouldn't give to be back here and do one performance of the mystery of Edwin Drood, knowing now what I know now and being on stage with people like Will Chase and Jesse Mueller and, and just these, you know, the legends, Chita Rivera, what would that be like to just go back and do it one time? And so it's, it's insane gratitude.

And, and, and then also just like yearning for like, oh my gosh, this is already, this already feels like a lifetime ago.

and that's a crazy thing to kind of go between.

yeah a lot of behind the scenes looks we have videos going you know behind the scenes at broadway shows on tours you know showing how it's happening you know in action in the middle of a production um and those are really fun and popular uh we have a huge concert in the middle of time square every earth day that is you know open free to the public we have tons of fans come in we have broadway stars And we have a Green Action Village.

So at the same time that you can hear Jesse Mueller sing from Beautiful, you can then go over to our headcount tent and check your voter registration and check out materials for the arts.

And so that's one major convening.

We had 27,000 people attend last year.

And it's leading ladies, sort of Broadway actresses who have done a lot of Broadway singing different songs.

And Jesse Mueller and Lindsay Mendez.

And I think they were both in that 2018 revival.

They did this number.
