It's so much fun.

Because you're just trolling men the whole time.

You realize that.

But also, I took really, really scary acting classes with a lot of Yale MFA grads.

I really put myself in situations that...

made me open myself up a bit more and then realize, like, oh, okay.

So the Broadway thing is a very, very small entity within this large, large, large world of creation.

I think that's really key.

And it's just one small thing.

And...

My last little tidbit, and I'm sure we'll bounce back and forth, Barrett, but I do want to say that, you know, you go, you guys go and you get these BFAs and then you hire these performance coaches that help you map out things and they will get super specific with you and they will go, oh, you could totally be woman two in Wicked and you could, because you can sing a high C and you can partner work and you can cover Nessa Rose.

And it's like, it actually is completely defeating the purpose of why you moved here.

I don't think getting hyper specific about what...

tracks you can be in in each show like yes know what you can do and what you can't do but don't make that your entire hustle make it a little part of it but that should not be your entire identity like I don't want to know what track you would be in in each show when you're talking to me about like how your career is going I just want to know like what are you creating what are you doing it's not about you know well I could probably go into Anjuliet right now because no no no

Yeah, making a case.

That is—we are talking about Disney World here and Vegas, if you think about it.

Right.

And so, you know, take it away, Barrett, but, you know, that is—it's a very, very small percentage of what theater really is.

And worse pay.

By the way, speaking of Google, I remember when I was in a Broadway show and I was like trying to date to like find a man, find a husband.
