[11:13] Dana Craig: Is it obvious?

[11:15] Steven Ferezy: I think so.

[11:16] Dana Craig: 100. It's when I was watching it, I was like, I should be watching this with Steven.

[11:21] Steven Ferezy: First of all.

[11:22] Dana Craig: Yeah. My entire body. No spoilers, but that whole sequence really um Yep.

[11:30] Steven Ferezy: It just kept unlayering just full body chills.

[11:35] Dana Craig: And then I'm Googling, I'm laying on the floor watching this. I'm Googling. Did we know Andrew Garfield could sing?

[11:42] Steven Ferezy: And the answer was he learned to for this.

[11:47] Dana Craig: Okay. He is so great. Obviously, he comes from the West End. He's a theater kid.

[11:51] Steven Ferezy: But we don't know him.

[11:55] Dana Craig: He's a great actor. Who embodies Jonathan Larson so well? Fantastic.

[12:03] Steven Ferezy: Lynn Manuel, director, good on you.

[12:07] Dana Craig: That was it was fantastic. Really well done. Really well done. Really thoughtfully well done.

[12:14] Steven Ferezy: Very thoughtfully well.

[12:16] Dana Craig: Masterfully. Um God, so many Easter eggs. Just so fun to like be a theater person and just like shout at the screen like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

[12:28] Steven Ferezy: Rosa.

[12:29] Dana Craig: Tick boom, you guys. But like Rosa watching the presentation of his work and that shot they have of her just knowing it's gonna work.

[12:40] Steven Ferezy: Oh yeah.

[12:42] Dana Craig: That's how you watch theater. I w I would really like to talk about it, but I don't wanna spoil anything and I Yeah, maybe we'll do it later.

[12:50] Steven Ferezy: Yeah, yeah.

[12:53] Dana Craig: Highly recommend. Highly recommend. The weaving between all the stories uh was really well done.

[13:02] Steven Ferezy: Cause I don't even really know that story.

[13:05] Dana Craig: Like I Yeah, you know Larson can No.

[13:10] Steven Ferezy: I mean I know that he died before seeing Rent, his you know, quote unquote masterpiece.

[13:18] Dana Craig: Uh but it was so great to see it just really spelled out. Like if you didn't know the story, this is it.

[13:27] Steven Ferezy: It makes Rent mean more.

[13:30] Dana Craig: Yeah. Also I didn't realize Jonathan Larson was straight.

[13:36] Steven Ferezy: Surprise.

[13:38] Dana Craig: I was like I was I was hoping.

[13:40] Steven Ferezy: I think Steven's going to really appreciate the detail in what's being done.

[13:46] Dana Craig: That whole sequence.

[13:48] Steven Ferezy: Yeah.

[13:49] Dana Craig: That whole sequence.

[13:51] Steven Ferezy: Yeah.

[13:51] Dana Craig: Um, and also just like, do people work that hard for their dreams anymore?

[13:56] Steven Ferezy: You know, these like agonizing artists who just go home and keep doing the thing, writing till, you know.

[14:06] Dana Craig: There aren't pe a whole lot of people like that. You know what I mean? And it's like, oh, of course.

[14:12] Steven Ferezy: He's gonna make something happen.

[14:14] Dana Craig: You just gotta stick with it and you gotta be crazy about it. You know, that's so moving to me.

[14:22] Steven Ferezy: I'm like, you're gonna wreck so many people with this movie.

[14:26] Dana Craig: Or you're going to inspire again.

[14:28] Steven Ferezy: Yeah.

[14:29] Dana Craig: Light of fire under a whole lot of people. Uh it's and Lynn Manuel has that. You know, it's he he is.

[14:38] Dana Craig: He is the only person who could have directed this and brought it to fruition and seen the hard work, the actual blood, sweat, and tears, um, the mania of it.

[14:51] Steven Ferezy: Um what a what a guy Jonathan Larson was.

[14:59] Dana Craig: What a guy.

[15:01] Steven Ferezy: And you could see, like, of course he loves Sunday so much because he sees himself in George.

[15:07] Dana Craig: And whether it's subconscious for Jonathan Larson or conscious, like I'm living my favorite musical of all time.

[15:19] Steven Ferezy: There's a reason why it's why it's like that.

[15:23] Dana Craig: No, I I was very moved by it very much.

[15:26] Steven Ferezy: Um, any other theater that you've seen in person?

[15:32] Dana Craig: Uh so we're recording on Sunday.

[15:35] Steven Ferezy: I have tickets tonight, Sunday evening, to see a Sherlock Carol at New World Stages.

[15:56] Dana Craig: And the product we're going to support.

[16:00] Steven Ferezy: Um I'm looking at their website right now and it looks all fierce.

[16:04] Dana Craig: The cursor is like a little candle on a tray.

[16:08] Steven Ferezy: I'm I'm curious about it.

[16:09] Dana Craig: I d I certainly am not overly familiar with a Christmas Carol.

[16:13] Steven Ferezy: I know it's the ghost of Christmas.

[16:15] Dana Craig: I know the Muppets Christmas Carol, you know.

[16:17] Steven Ferezy: That's all you need.

[16:18] Dana Craig: It's the general broad strokes.

[16:21] Steven Ferezy: Yeah and you know I usually like to get my Christmas in after Thanksgiving, but opportunity is opportunity and you do what you have to do for the people you love.

[16:33] Dana Craig: That's right.

[16:37] Dana Craig: I s recently saw Girl from the North Country.

[16:40] Steven Ferezy: How'd you like the couple at yes I did not see it at the public.

[16:46] Dana Craig: Um so it's on Broadway now and it's Bob Dylan music that I think they're taking from the c the catalog of Bob Dylan.

[16:56] Steven Ferezy: He didn't write new stuff for this show.

[17:00] Dana Craig: Just to be clear I love Bob Dylan music.

[17:04] Steven Ferezy: He's such a storyteller so it bodes well for theater.

[17:09] Dana Craig: It's beautiful.

[17:10] Steven Ferezy: It's really really beautiful.

[17:11] Dana Craig: Mayor Winningham is in it and I I find her so engaging on stage.

[17:19] Steven Ferezy: I can't really stop looking at her for some reason.

[17:22] Dana Craig: But the whole ensemble I think it I think it's really beautiful.

[17:30] Steven Ferezy: Yeah, I love a show that is like here's the kitchen.

[17:36] Dana Craig: You know?

[17:37] Steven Ferezy: Like here's a kitchen in the living room and it's family drama.

[18:22] Dana Craig: A cast album, like cast album, not there we go.

[18:24] Steven Ferezy: There we go.

[18:24] Dana Craig: I mean I realize now that we have to clarify that.

[18:28] Steven Ferezy: I didn't realize what I mean when I was growing up that not every show got one of those.

[18:35] Dana Craig: Me either.

[18:35] Steven Ferezy: You know who taught me that?

[18:37] Dana Craig: Who the bitchy queen working at Colony Records the night I saw the lame is revival in 2006.

[20:27] Dana Craig: Yeah.

[20:27] Steven Ferezy: I have no doubt.

[20:29] Dana Craig: She had a really tight thing going.

[20:31] Steven Ferezy: And she did some crowd did some crowd work and she just is a pro.

[20:35] Dana Craig: I was a proof forward to it because we're so overdue for a stand-up date.

[20:35] Steven Ferezy: A stand-up date.

[20:42] Dana Craig: That's and I love seeing it.

[20:43] Steven Ferezy: Um it's my favorite.

[20:51] Dana Craig: Yeah.

[20:52] Steven Ferezy: That wasn't a mistake.

[20:53] Dana Craig: I okay, so I feel like Natalie kind of knows Meg Stalter.

[21:00] Steven Ferezy: But until you see an hour-long show of Meg Stalter, you haven't seen Meg Stalter.

[21:10] Dana Craig: Hilarious.

[21:11] Steven Ferezy: If she does not allow you to come up for air, it is insanity how quickly her mind moves.

[21:21] Dana Craig: Um, it's definitely a character.

[21:25] Steven Ferezy: She is doing so much crowd work.

[21:29] Dana Craig: She singled out Natalie a couple times.
