Yeah, it was crazy. I mean, it changed my life. I was so obsessed.

Yes, that's putting it very lightly. I was stalking Mark Platt. I actually was literally in the bushes outside his house. No, I wasn't, but maybe I was. No, I was on tour. I was on the Sweetener tour, and I had... I heard murmurs of, okay, this thing is gearing up to happen. And I told my team, I was like, hey, we're going to have to have a plan. I don't know what to do.

But if God forbid, if God forbid I'm still on the road when this thing starts happening, we are going to have to like, you know. Refund some tickets. Pay everyone working on the tour. Yes. To just like, you know, here's whatever, go away. I have to figure this out. I have to give my everything to this and I have to start training.

I have to make sure I'm in classes to train my voice every day and with an acting coach every day just to get back into it. And also Glenda requires a whole new skill set that I didn't have a connection to anymore because I was on the road for 10 years. And I was just like, I have to make this my full-time gig. I have to... do everything in my power just to get a chance to earn it.

I want to make sure that when my audition, if I get an audition, that I'm fucking ready. Did they make you audition? Yeah, I mean, of course it's wicked. Of course it's wicked.

On your phone? I mean, it was such a, it was a thorough experience as it should be. I mean, I think, you know, there's just so much that is required of Glinda that's so different from what I usually do.

Wow, 5'6". Do I present 5'6"? I wish. Oh, my God.

5'6 presenting. No, sorry.

5'6 presenting. No, sorry.

Thank you, that is true.

Well, yeah, it's just kind of something that you build up to. So there's a lot of physical training. There's like, you know, whatever you can do, cardio Pilates every morning. Then before the rehearsals, hopefully it feels like a little easier. Like the more you do ahead of it, the more it's easier. Do you sing on the treadmill to get used to it?

Yeah, it's funny because I feel like it's like, yes, but also I feel like working with Jason Robert Brown at the age of 13 was my preparation for that.
