[0:00] Joel Crump: Hey you guys, today I'm here with Jordan Fisher and Solea Pfeiffer for another episode of Broadway Time at Carmine's.

[0:06] Jordan Fisher: We're good.

[0:07] Solea Pfeiffer: So good. This is the coolest corner of this restaurant.

[0:15] Jordan Fisher: Okay. I know. I feel like this has to be our corner.

[0:18] Solea Pfeiffer: This is our corner. I decree it. It's official. This is ours.

[0:21] Jordan Fisher: We're going to put a picture right here and we're going to see if anybody notices.

[0:27] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, yeah. They will. Oh, they'll line up.

[0:29] Joel Crump: Yes. You both are in Moulin Rouge right now.

[0:31] Jordan Fisher: We certainly are.

[0:33] Joel Crump: And you guys bring 80s sounds together. It's like following each other around.

[0:36] Solea Pfeiffer: Exactly.

[0:37] Joel Crump: What has it been like?

[0:39] Jordan Fisher: It's the most special thing. I just go wherever she goes.

[0:41] Solea Pfeiffer: Exactly.

[0:42] Jordan Fisher: No, exactly. Yes. I was like, Jordan, no, this is like, this role is so perfect for Jordan and there is something so crazy about just like, it's like being in a different dimension with someone all the time.

[0:52] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. And everyone's been saying that Moulin Rouge is actually like loosely based on the Orpheus and Eurydice to some degree.

[1:03] Jordan Fisher: Right. Yeah. It's around. Yeah. And so it's it's but it is very interesting to be like the hungry young girl.

[1:10] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. To your, you know, your angsty composer.

[1:14] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. And this time I'm like the woman to your angsty composer.

[1:19] Solea Pfeiffer: Again, another angsty composer.

[1:23] Jordan Fisher: I know the parallels are crazy. I've seen like that comment under so many of our things are like if I'd seen Jordan Fisher and Solea Pfeiffer in a show about a composer who lets down his lover, I'd have like I'd have two nickels, but still.

[1:33] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, 100 percent. That's great.

[1:37] Jordan Fisher: But also 10 cents richer, you know what I mean?

[1:41] Solea Pfeiffer: Right. And we are too. Like it is such a gift to be able to go to work every day and know that you're going to see people that fill you up. But like to get to go to work with one of your closest friends and play and lock in.

[1:54] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. We have we can we can communicate without speaking.

[1:58] Solea Pfeiffer: And that's like the kind of thing that you find.

[2:01] Jordan Fisher: Which is the best.

[2:02] Solea Pfeiffer: Over years of doing the thing together and like so cool.

[2:05] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. Yeah. It's wild. Get to do that.

[2:09] Joel Crump: Exactly. So I don't know about y'all, but I'm ready to eat.

[2:12] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, I'm down.

[2:13] Jordan Fisher: So let's feast.

[2:15] Solea Pfeiffer: Oh, let's feast.

[2:16] Joel Crump: Because the best part of this interview is the food.

[2:22] Joel Crump: All right. All right, babies. What do y'all want? Y'all want some chicken parm?

[2:25] Jordan Fisher: I'm going to need some of this pasta.

[2:28] Solea Pfeiffer: I want everything.

[2:29] Jordan Fisher: You want everything. OK, great. Give me a little slice.

[2:31] Joel Crump: Look, look. Jordan. None. None. Is this a good portion?

[2:36] Jordan Fisher: That's a great portion. OK, great. Do you want it on top of some pasta?

[2:39] Solea Pfeiffer: Or do you want it like off to the side?

[2:42] Jordan Fisher: Have it like a one and a two.

[2:44] Joel Crump: Out of all the guests I've had, you're the first to just go ahead and.

[2:48] Jordan Fisher: So thank you, Jordan.

[2:49] Solea Pfeiffer: Dad vote.

[2:53] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. OK. Dad vote.

[2:54] Solea Pfeiffer: Can you come in at a piece?

[2:58] Jordan Fisher: Yeah, I was. Thank you so much, Irene. We're going to dig in now.

[3:04] Solea Pfeiffer: Oh, I'm eating with the. Oh, no, no.

[3:07] Jordan Fisher: It's like a bite with a serving fork.

[3:11] Solea Pfeiffer: You can have the big fork.

[3:14] Jordan Fisher: Yeah.

[3:15] Solea Pfeiffer: Big fork for a big fork. Thank you so much.

[3:17] Jordan Fisher: I had chicken noodle soup today. I got some sinuses right now.

[3:21] Solea Pfeiffer: I'm allergic season on Broadway.

[3:23] Jordan Fisher: Oh, I am. No joke.

[3:26] Solea Pfeiffer: But we've been to steam this voice of.

[3:29] Jordan Fisher: OK. Then it is some yoga in the dressing room.

[3:32] Solea Pfeiffer: Yes.

[3:33] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. My anime playlist been to fire me up.

[3:35] Solea Pfeiffer: Hug some caffeine and we're going to have.

[3:38] Jordan Fisher: We're going to have a great.

[3:40] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah.

[3:41] Jordan Fisher: It's going to be great on Broadway.

[3:42] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. I mean, what a party that is. What does it say?

[3:44] Joel Crump: The ladies jumping into that party, settling into that party.

[3:47] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. Talk to me about it.

[3:49] Jordan Fisher: Well, she came in first.

[3:52] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. Yeah. And a completely different like.

[3:55] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. It's a this show is a very unique experience.

[3:59] Solea Pfeiffer: And like any other show that I've done, because it's like one of the few where once it starts, you really like my whole show really is with Jordan.

[4:08] Jordan Fisher: Like or and with Christian, where if you're not on stage, you are offstage changing. There is like no downtime.

[4:18] Solea Pfeiffer: There's no time to like be backstage and like catch up with everyone. It's like this is happening. Do you have.

[4:26] Jordan Fisher: I think it's 13. Wow. Every show.

[4:30] Solea Pfeiffer: And that might not be including like the things that happen on stage.

[4:33] Jordan Fisher: But yeah, a lot of a lot of rhinestones.

[4:36] Solea Pfeiffer: Oh, yeah. Because we do. I have two on stage changes.

[4:40] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. Never have on stage. Yeah. Ever.

[4:43] Solea Pfeiffer: It just. Yeah. It doesn't stop. And so it's like very there. We have like kind of like with intermission and like one point during act one to kind of check in. But the rest is fully on stage.

[4:55] Jordan Fisher: So it's really helpful to have someone who you can be like, hey, are you like.

[4:58] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. Nonverbal check.

[5:02] Jordan Fisher: And we would prefer to like see each other and say, hey, why not before a show? Right. This will always happen. Right. Like someone's in a meeting, someone's on a call, someone's warming up, someone's getting notes, someone's getting a wig on.

[5:15] Solea Pfeiffer: It's it's tough sometimes.

[5:17] Jordan Fisher: I sometimes like the first time I see her in a day is when she comes down on the screen. But I see her, you know, like six minutes later.

[5:24] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. After we finish the first verse of shut up and raise your glass. And we're like, hey,

[5:31] Jordan Fisher: when we're just kind of like strutting around the stage.

[5:33] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. It's lovely. It's like, you know, it really does feel like two different shows on each show.

[5:39] Jordan Fisher: I mean, like act one and act two or two.

[5:41] Solea Pfeiffer: The line feels different.

[5:44] Jordan Fisher: You're you feel different from the beginning to end versus act two.

[5:49] Solea Pfeiffer: It's like it's a totally like it's two shows.

[5:54] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. Well, because act one is like I always like you kind of forget. Sometimes we like act one happens in like five hours.

[6:03] Solea Pfeiffer: It does. It happens. It's like there's not that it's one that I was like, wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Exactly.

[6:08] Jordan Fisher: And it's like and it's such it's so like it's comedy. It's like total like romantic comedy. Right.

[6:16] Solea Pfeiffer: Cute. All these like like lots of like moments of like rhythmic comedy with each other. And then act two is pure melodrama and tragedy.

[6:26] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. And it's like over the course of these months and like so as one, you really have to like lock into the like, OK, they are in love, which is kind of the same with Hades Town, where there's like it's pretty vast.

[6:37] Solea Pfeiffer: And then you're like, I hope you had fun being in love for five minutes because now it's over.

[6:41] Jordan Fisher: Yeah, it's all downhill from here.

[6:46] Solea Pfeiffer: For Christian, like we get to kind of straddle the line of both telling the story. Reminiscing, I guess, if there is a third line and that, you know, taking the audience with us like I'm Christian gets to kind of my my I love doing Hades Town so much. Orpheus became one of my most important roles I will have ever played in my life. Right. But it was always her knees.

[7:14] Jordan Fisher: Understand. Right. Understand. I wanted platform.

[7:19] Solea Pfeiffer: So I want a long dress. I wanted I wanted the whole thing to get to like be a story to look at to kind of narrate as well as as a human, as Jordan.

[7:35] Jordan Fisher: It's I've never experienced this like it. It's like refreshing as part of the storytelling to be like, oh, and I'm speaking. And you're just an entertainer.

[7:45] Solea Pfeiffer: Jordan was just like born. This man was born to entertain.

[7:49] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. You know, and that's I was like, no, this this role is an exact fit for you.

[7:56] Solea Pfeiffer: OK, get to sing down, dance a little bit. OK, a dancer.

[8:02] Jordan Fisher: Yeah. Talk about that, Jordan.

[8:06] Solea Pfeiffer: No, but you two are so fun. What are the backstage antics?

[8:09] Jordan Fisher: Oh, my gosh. I mean, there's antics anywhere. But when you put the two of us in a building, it's it's OK.

[8:19] Solea Pfeiffer: OK, well, because we're always, always plotting how like I'm like, what tandem riffs can we do? What can we do?

[8:25] Jordan Fisher: You know, like I feel like most of our plotting and scheming is musical.

[8:28] Solea Pfeiffer: It usually is so much of like our connection as friends.

[8:33] Jordan Fisher: So much of like our connection as friends, like it's just our mutual love for music and the way that it makes you feel.

[8:43] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. Yeah. Which.

[8:49] Jordan Fisher: We're doing something fun about that.

[8:53] Solea Pfeiffer: We are. We're doing something fun about that.

[8:58] Jordan Fisher: Stay tuned. That's a very real life thing that y'all are going to be hearing first.

[9:01] Solea Pfeiffer: OK, you did hear it here first.

[9:04] Jordan Fisher: You did hear it here first. So we can't wait.

[9:08] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. There might be another chance to hear us sing together.

[9:12] Jordan Fisher: Oh, my. Sometime soon. I'll be there wherever it is. I'll be there.

[9:17] Joel Crump: OK. Yes. What has it been like something that's been on the Christian?

[9:20] Solea Pfeiffer: Oh, you've played so many fun roles before. What has been different about this one?

[9:24] Jordan Fisher: Um, well, I mean, like. You know, I have a knack for finding myself in tracks where there's a girl.

[9:28] Solea Pfeiffer: Uh-huh.

[9:34] Jordan Fisher: And I'm in love.

[9:35] Solea Pfeiffer: Right. And it's like, oh, my goodness.

[9:38] Jordan Fisher: It seems to be most. Most of my career.

[9:43] Solea Pfeiffer: Falling in love with a girl.

[9:47] Jordan Fisher: Falling in love with a girl, which is awesome. Like, especially because I tend to become good friends with whoever I work opposite.

[9:51] Solea Pfeiffer: Right. Soleil became a lifer pretty instantly.

[9:55] Jordan Fisher: I mean, like I've been I was a fan of hers long before we became friends. So I getting to jump into really any track and get to play with friends is everything.

[10:05] Solea Pfeiffer: But I think that what makes Christians so different is less the track and more about where I am in my life.

[10:16] Jordan Fisher: And my perspective on how how I care or don't care about how I am viewed as an artist or as a performer, but rather doing things because it makes me feel really good.

[10:30] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. And the just reward in that is something that I get to experience in the thick every night.

[10:43] Jordan Fisher: Right. Which is so special. Getting to do things with friends, getting to work on a show that like obviously is beloved. And I think that as a, you know, a family man and somebody that like really loves what he does for work, but it's very much just a job.

[11:02] Solea Pfeiffer: This is Moulin Rouge is very different for me because I feel like now at 31, I'm like with a three year old and like kind of doing the thing.

[11:10] Jordan Fisher: I'm like I'm hit. I feel like I'm hitting a stride in my career and in my work life in New York and in the theater space.

[11:22] Solea Pfeiffer: And where that relates to my real life is what makes this so special and so different.

[11:27] Jordan Fisher: Because like I feel like there's longevity and sustainability. I'm feeling like I'm kind of getting to experience what sustainability feels like in this. And it's really it's really special.

[11:38] Solea Pfeiffer: No, that's so there's something because everyone gets nervous about getting older and this industry, me included.

[11:45] Jordan Fisher: I'm scared about getting older in high school, too. No, please.

[11:48] Solea Pfeiffer: No, that's like that's your social culture, though. Because we're ancient to y'all.

[11:55] Jordan Fisher: And like that wasn't the case when we were in high school.

[11:58] Solea Pfeiffer: Like ancient ancient was 40 plus now ancients like 23 or above.

[12:04] Jordan Fisher: Social media, social media kind of has changed the way that we think about age.

[12:09] Solea Pfeiffer: And right. But I'm like, it's so like I feel like I only now like after living 30 years of life, you're like so much more prepared for everything.

[12:23] Jordan Fisher: And art starts to make so much more sense just because, like, things are much better.

[12:26] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah. You don't sweat the small stuff and you also just understand things.

[12:32] Solea Pfeiffer: On a whole new level because life, you know, life deals everyone, no matter who you are. Yes, you're all like everyone is going to have, you're going to have intense challenges that change you and make your understanding of every role that comes your way like that much deeper. And so like, you know, Jordan getting to come into Hadestown with a small, with a baby like Riley was so little. Yeah, he was like cool. And now, and just turn to me as time passes and as you learn about yourself as a father, as time passes and you just learn about yourself as an artist, it's just so...

[13:15] Joel Crump: My timing, I'm sorry.

[13:16] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, no, that's great. You're doing, you're a dad on Broadway. You're a dad on Broadway. I always applaud parents on Broadway. Yeah, it's like a Christian thing though too now. All of the Christians have babies except for John.

[13:26] Joel Crump: Except for John. John doesn't have a baby. Where is it? Where's your kid, John?

[13:33] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, John, where's your kid? Where's your kid?

[13:37] Joel Crump: Don't take your time, go ahead. But yeah, like it's amazing and it's not... being on Broadway is hard, y'all.

[13:48] Solea Pfeiffer: It's hard. I can never, I was telling this to Jordan, I can't even get my socks to match two days in a row and I'm like, you have a whole life that you're in charge of. My goodness, it takes a village, right? Like it'll be me.

[14:04] Joel Crump: Yeah, that good partnership.

[14:05] Solea Pfeiffer: So do you, right? Like we invest in other beautiful things that talk about hard work and dedication and whatnot. So he's part of Kevin, Kevin, Kevin Solak, Cheetah Rivera Award winner, winner, winner, across the street from Gypsy, right across the street. Catch him while you can.

[14:20] Joel Crump: Absolutely. You know, the dynamics are all different for everybody too, right? It's like you both get home and see each other from your shows, yes, that you worked on.

[14:32] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, right? Like, yeah, and you talk about your day, like your timing is different for everybody as well. It's like, yeah, you gotta have to figure that out in life. But it's like all of the stuff around the shows that make it amazing.

[14:47] Joel Crump: Absolutely. So we talked in October when you were just starting to play. Yes. What has this journey been like for you from then to now?

[14:58] Jordan Fisher: Oh my gosh, so many months later. What has that been like? This moment in my life has definitely, like, I feel like this is a really incredible season to be a part of the Broadway community. Like, I feel like Broadway is finally back and like really thriving.

[15:13] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, like with like 40 shows opened.

[15:18] Jordan Fisher: It's always thriving, yeah. You know what I mean? That's a really good point. And so there's been something, you know, because this role is very, it's hard. It's hard on your body, it's hard on your voice. And so a lot of this has been like learning my limits, being really honest with myself about like, all right, like this is what my voice can do this week, this is what my body can handle, this is, you know, all these things, which has been really amazing. But I can stand on all ten toes being like, I know what my body needs to be able to really deliver this mammoth of a role.

[15:50] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah.

[15:51] Jordan Fisher: But I think like, I don't know, to be, to know that like every night, like at seven or eight, like the curtain is going up also for Audra and for Nicole and Idina and Bernadette and George Clinton, like all these people. Wow. And so I'm just like, I am very humbled, especially with a show like Moulin Rouge, which is just like Broadway. Like, it's like, it's so many people's first Broadway show, it's so many people's favorite Broadway show. And so I have found this to be an incredibly humbling moment and that is just like, wow, like I always hoped that I would be a part of this and now here I am a part of it and so good at it.

[16:43] Solea Pfeiffer: You still, so that's like just to be, to be one of the people on stage here in the world, like to be like one small piece of all that is really, really cool. And to get to do it on the same, like I don't think I've ever had a time in my life where so many of my friends were also working on Broadway at the same time, you know? Like even just on 45th, like around 45th street, it's just like everywhere up the block. I'm like, wow, this is a really just abundant, really, really like full and like ripe time to be on Broadway. So it's really inspiring.

[17:24] Joel Crump: Yes.

[17:25] Jordan Fisher: To see what's happening all around us and to be a part of like a show that's going on its sixth year of running, like healthfully, healthfully. So that's really cool.

[17:30] Solea Pfeiffer: Tickets are sold.

[17:31] Joel Crump: Tickets are sold. All right, this is staring at us. Should we?

[17:39] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, I think so. I ate, you're like, I ate that chicken parm. I ate, I'm full. My big fork.

[17:45] Jordan Fisher: I did.

[17:49] Solea Pfeiffer: Personally, I have a dream show for you both.

[17:51] Jordan Fisher: Oh my god.

[17:52] Solea Pfeiffer: Which is Little Women.

[17:54] Jordan Fisher: Okay.

[18:06] Solea Pfeiffer: When I was in my research to play the role, I didn't see a Loli that looked like me, so I'm ready.

[18:09] Jordan Fisher: Right, yes.

[18:10] Solea Pfeiffer: Okay, I don't care that it was the 18-whatevers to make it happen. What are you guys' dream show to do together?

[18:14] Jordan Fisher: Other than...

[18:15] Solea Pfeiffer: We have a few. We have a few.

[18:20] Jordan Fisher: You want to start?

[18:21] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, I'll throw it down.

[18:22] Jordan Fisher: Throw it down.

[18:31] Solea Pfeiffer: Okay, George dot, George dot, duh.

[18:34] Jordan Fisher: Can I just be like, you'd be a beautiful Dot?

[18:38] Solea Pfeiffer: Okay, please. Yes, it'll be, we'll do a three. We'll each change roles every night.

[18:44] Jordan Fisher: Perfect.

[18:45] Solea Pfeiffer: We'll spin the big wheel, wherever exactly fate will decide. Yeah, we'll learn all three tracks of the great.

[18:50] Jordan Fisher: Yeah, okay, wait, so can we make that happen? Can we make that happen?

[19:00] Solea Pfeiffer: That is incredible. Look at that. Oh my gosh, are you about to sprinkle those on here?

[19:04] Jordan Fisher: I put them on the side just in case.

[19:05] Solea Pfeiffer: Okay, are there any allergies? Pistachios?

[19:10] Jordan Fisher: I don't have them.

[19:11] Solea Pfeiffer: I love my room is... please stop with them.

[19:15] Jordan Fisher: I always be happy with that.

[19:16] Solea Pfeiffer: Yes, yes, and it looks beautiful.

[19:22] Jordan Fisher: Oh, we are spoiled. Wow, how pretty. How do we, how do we cut this?

[21:02] Jordan Fisher: Yeah.

[21:03] Solea Pfeiffer: And I read my book and I drink my tea and I throw back, as you said, it's great.

[21:09] Jordan Fisher: Oh my god.

[21:10] Solea Pfeiffer: To my robe, just drenched in good energy on the go.

[21:30] Jordan Fisher: Oh my gosh, ever? Um, um, okay, how does that part go? Okay, it's been some, it's been some time. Grandpa's in the paper, war hero Philip Schuyler.

[21:42] Solea Pfeiffer: Uh-huh.

[21:43] Jordan Fisher: And I said, look, grandma's in the paper.

[21:50] Solea Pfeiffer: Aaron Burr.

[21:51] Jordan Fisher: I couldn't remember anything and Sydney Winters was on with me and she went, oh my god.

[21:56] Solea Pfeiffer: Oh no.

[21:57] Jordan Fisher: Speaking of lyrics, this just happened to me last week. I started singing Firework and then my mind went completely blank and I was like, and so I ended up singing the lyrics from the beginning about the plastic bag instead of the house of cards. And I don't know if anyone knew that I was really bored. I was like, do you ever feel so big within drifting through the wind wanting to start again? And my heart was pounding. I was like, oh my god, that's actually kind of fire.

[22:26] Solea Pfeiffer: It was poetic.

[22:27] Jordan Fisher: Yes, very much. It was good. Our music director was like, those were great lyrics. Like, yeah, they're from the song that had a flow.

[22:35] Solea Pfeiffer: Yes, yeah, I feel like all of my major lyric moments like that were in Hamilton.

[22:40] Jordan Fisher: Yeah, yeah.

[22:41] Solea Pfeiffer: Okay, yeah, wordy. She's a wordy one. Favorite vocal warm-up?

[22:47] Jordan Fisher: A lot of lip trilling.

[22:48] Solea Pfeiffer: A lot of lip...

[22:55] Jordan Fisher: Absolutely. Broadway inspiration?

[22:56] Solea Pfeiffer: Audra McDonald, 100%, forever.

[23:01] Jordan Fisher: Bernadette Peters.

[23:02] Solea Pfeiffer: C. Jack.

[23:03] Jordan Fisher: Yes, Chris Jackson. There's a lot, yeah. What a time to be alive on Broadway right now. Like everyone about...

[23:09] Solea Pfeiffer: Yes, the divas.

[23:10] Jordan Fisher: Yeah, the divas. It's incredible.

[23:11] Solea Pfeiffer: Which means Broadway co-star?

[23:12] Jordan Fisher: Well, Audra McDonald, Bernadette Peters.

[23:14] Solea Pfeiffer: And lastly, best piece of advice you've received?

[23:24] Jordan Fisher: You know what? The most simple, my dad was saying this and I think it helps remove the need for perfection, but ultimately just keep showing up. Even when you doubt yourself, even when you're scared, even when you're tired, just keep showing up for yourself, for the work, whatever that might be.

[23:40] Solea Pfeiffer: I love that. It's beautiful.

[23:41] Jordan Fisher: A lot of really good things, man. I've had some great mentors in life.

[23:46] Solea Pfeiffer: It's just a job.

[23:48] Jordan Fisher: It's just a job.

[23:49] Solea Pfeiffer: It's just a job.

[23:50] Jordan Fisher: It's just a job.

[23:51] Solea Pfeiffer: And it's just a job. Like, it's just a job.

[23:53] Jordan Fisher: That right there is a message to where you said, yeah, like, yeah, it's just... but also like say it and inflect and all three of those things. Like, it really, it's just a job.

[24:02] Solea Pfeiffer: It really is.

[24:03] Jordan Fisher: Yes, it shouldn't be much. It shouldn't be anything more than that.

[24:07] Solea Pfeiffer: Yeah, that's good advice.
