It's all I have ever wanted to do.

I knew exactly who I was as a kid.

I had friends from my high school years, years 9, 10, 11, 12, I don't know, primary, secondary, I don't know, whatever, college, whatever.

People have known me since way back when, and I was joking, they knew me when I was playing boy roles, but they knew the roles I played.

wanted to play.

And the fact that I get to play them these days, like I'm playing Judy Garland in a show about Judy Garland.

You know, that's not something I foresaw for myself, but I always thought it was possible.

The world convinced me it wouldn't be possible.

And then I had to reconvince myself that it absolutely is.

No, I have been considering Judy and I walking kind of hand in hand right now.

Like I've just welcomed her into my life.

The problem is I don't have a lot of time to travel if it's not for work.

Like six days out of the week is planned by my team these days.

I get my one day to have dinner.

with accomplices.

I'm teasing.

Again, I love my work.

Shall I distract your team and then you run out the back door and get on your broomstick?

No, I did some rituals welcoming Judy into my life because my own research with Judy made me realize we just have a lot in common, completely different people.

And yet our lives parallel each other in a lot of ways.
