Meeting The Musical Mozinskis with Susan Petrone

And at a certain point, the center can't hold forever.

Exactly.

I mean, there's a line where Grace is thinking that she and Vincent only agree all of their children should be happy and have a chance to follow their dreams.

They just disagreed on how each child was supposed to.

Yep.

Which captures that part of the conversation.

Like, Absolutely.

You want your kid to be happy.

And sometimes it's hard to not want to live vicariously through them.

Yes.

Or say, well, this is what I liked when I was in high school.

I mean, just these characters are complex and they have depth and they have great backstories.

We start with Clara, who's the oldest.

And when she was a baby, like baby, not even talking yet, had perfect pitch.

Grace was singing to her and she just repeated it right back.

And then you learn later on that she only needed to hear a piece of music twice, and then she was able to perform it.

I don't understand how brains work like that.

I think it's such a gift and a skill.

It's analogous to you all who write and create these characters.
