I know. It's, like, that's why, look, until there's some reboot, until that comes, whenever, if ever, this is the great, like, fun time to play around and, like,
revisit her like i love the show so much it was a wild experience um and one day you know maybe i'll write a book and talk all about it but i really you know the show means so much to me the work that i did and i love rachel so much so to have the opportunity to go on tour And sing these songs and also talk about what was going on while I was doing them. I've never really been able to do that.
Right. And talk openly about, you know, what it was like to sing Make You Feel My Love or why did I sing Glitter in the Air? Like I I there's so much that was going on behind the scenes. And, you know, my tour is a real opportunity for me to be just open and talk about what that was like for me, just from my experience.
Like literally everything. Yeah. Like literally everything. I mean, yeah, it was. Look, we were all so young and everybody was growing up and, you know, falling in love. Or, you know, for me, like that was a huge part of the whole experience for me was my experience. You know, like the this great, you know, love. And yeah, it was so unbelievable that you'd be watching the show.
And when I watch it, I can tell you exactly. I'd be like, oh, that day I was sobbing in my dressing room. Like or that day was like the best day in the world.
He's like my second husband. Right. Yeah. I was about to say. I'm going to see his opening night tonight. Did you know that? No.
Just in time on Broadway. I'm going to promote that as well, everyone. Bobby Darin, Jonathan Groff at Circle in the Square in New York City.
Oh, my God. Of course you do. He loves you.
I told you when he when you saw him and then he was like, I met your friend. I ran up to him. I ran up to him. Good.
No, he was offered Finn and he turned it down. What? So this is the whole story. You can put this in the podcast if you want or you can edit it out. I would never edit this out. So we were in Spring Awakening on Broadway together. And Ryan Murphy came to see Spring Awakening. And I knew Ryan because he did a television show way, way, way before you. Nip Talk?
No, way, way, way before you called Popular, which was my favorite show of all time. It was my AOL password. And I loved Popular.
I was literally AOL to like a month ago.
I had to get rid of it. But he came and I was like, oh my God, popular. It was like Leslie Bibb was on it. It was like the show. It was like our gossip girl for my generation. And so I was so excited to meet him. And then he cast Jonathan in a pilot that he was doing. So Jonathan, this is a very long story. I'm here. Okay.
So John was like, I have to leave Spring Awakening to go film this pilot in California with Ryan Murphy. And I was devastated. Turns out the same two weeks he was gone, Broadway shut down. And I didn't have like anywhere to go. And we were like, what are we going to do during these two weeks? So I got on a plane and flew like any best friend would do.
Girl in New York who doesn't know what to do without her best friend. I got on a plane. I flew to L.A. My boyfriend also broke up with me and my grandmother had passed away. It was like all of this like stuff. And I got on a plane. I flew to him and he was like, look, I'm working all day, but get dressed. We're going to the Chateau Marmont tonight with Ryan Murphy. I was like, the where?
I was like, great, whatever. I go to Melrose Place. I pick out the ugliest dress, but I thought it was beautiful. Damn. It was a purple silk dress with ruffles down the front. Literally, did I know I was picking a Rachel Berry dress? Yeah, I was about to say. And I showed up to the chateau. It was probably like the record scratched. It was like, who is this girl, this weirdo girl coming here?
And I just sat there and I talked to Ryan all night about...
barbara streisand and celine dion and broadway and then a couple months later john and i were back on broadway and he's like ryan's writing this show for me and you and i was like no he's not that's never gonna happen and turns out that he was he was writing glee for me and john i auditioned i ended up getting rachel they offered him finn and he turned it down he didn't want to play a
And then they hired Corey. And then, you know, however, later into the run, Ryan was like, will you please come on at least and just play this like, you know, kind of coming in, coming out character. Right. And he was like, sure. So then he came and played Jesse St. James.
I mean, imagine if I hadn't gone there. Right. Like.
