Yes.
Oh, so many. Like for me, Kate Hudson working with Kate was the best. She became a really good friend to me and like a lifeline and that I love Kate forever and her family. So working with Kate, singing with her, like Almost Famous is my favorite movie of all time. So that was like major. And I met her, and she was so kind.
And I don't know what I was expecting, but she's such a girl's girl, and she's the greatest. So Kate, watching her sing and dance and her energy, she glows from within. She is such an icon, and I love her. And so Kate was number one.
Love Adina. I can't like talk enough about my love for Adina. I would go to – when Adina was in Wicked and I was in Spring Awakening, I would find out that Adina would go and do Bikram yoga in between shows on Wednesdays. So I would then go to Bikram yoga, just happen to be there in the same class that Adina was and would be like stretching and be like – Hi, Adina. Like, how are you?
Like, a crazy, crazy fan. Like, I went to the stage door of Wicked. Like, love her. Love Kristen, too. I mean, don't even get me started about Kristen. She is, like, a rock. And I literally love her. And I have, to this day, like, if I need advice about anything, I call Kristen. Really? And she, like, gives the best advice. And she always picks up the phone. And she is wonderful.
Adina, for me, though, like... I wanted to be Elphaba and like, I just always looked up to her and rent. I wanted to be Maureen. Like I was so obsessed with her. And so the fact that she came on and she played my mom, it was wild. It was so wild. And she, you know, she said to me at the time, she was like, are you like, are you realizing like what's happening here? Like, are you appreciating this?
Like she was trying to get me to kind of like stop. and like really like look. And I was like, of course I am like, but I'm so tired. Like I'm too tired to even like, but I look back on it now. And I was like, I really wasn't, you know, like I really wasn't stopping and like looking around and being like, I think in order to survive, I needed to have such blinders on.
But she was really trying to give me such good advice. But I just loved working with her. And she's such an amazing person. Just recently... She did a favor for me and she left a voicemail for my son as Elsa because I freeze his toys in ice and leave them in his room. And I tell him Elsa came and froze his toys. That's really sweet. And I play like let it go. And I'm like Elsa came again.
I'm going to like break this ice. And he like loves it. And so then she was so sweet and she left her voice and she's like, hi, Ever. It's Elsa. Yeah. And she like sang, let it go. And it was like the kindest, kindest thing. So go see Redwood and go Adina. Wow.
Yeah.
I'm like leaving you like. Speechless? Like, yeah, a little.
Maybe like on the tours, there was more opportunity to do that because when we were filming, it was so chaotic. But I have one memory that comes of we were playing Madison Square Garden. Like this will make me cry. Like I'm from New York. Like I'm a New Yorker. Jenna was also from New York and we we bought like New York Yankees hats and like our dads are like real New Yorkers.
And like when we did Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, the New York number, like we walked out like with our New York caps on and we were like. We made it. Look at this. We are at this venue that for us as New Yorkers, it doesn't get any more iconic. For me, it was even more than Radio City. And I remember looking out and wearing that New York cap and being like, whoa. Yeah.
And really soaking it in in that moment. I have a few like that, but that was definitely one of them.
Filming was too much. Yeah. Like you never had the time to stop. Right. You know, but of course, like I remember Oprah. I remember the White House, like things like that were moments where we were like.
oh my god right whoa we're here right you know and then all of the awards and all of that was also so crazy wasn't there um it wasn't was it it was the it was the emmys you did some you did an opening yeah it was the emmys right yeah we did the whole opening number with tina fey and like john ham and jimmy fallon i think did it too yeah and the cast of glee that's like so crazy like actually insane yeah what when what did you guys think of like the term gleek
Love. Yeah, like you're a Gleek, like Gleek of the Week. I wanted to be Gleek of the Week so fucking badly. Darren literally texts me all the time. He's like, Gleek of the Week, like, how are you? Like, literally, like, we always talk about Gleek of the Week. I'm obsessed. Yeah. No, it was like, look, doing this on your head. It was like everywhere, like... Yeah, that was it. Like, oh, my God.
I mean, this is the second book.
It's going to be a trilogy. Like, of course. There's too much to say. That's wild. What was that like? Crazy. Like, you know, there were talks of me doing Funny Girl in 2014, I think it was. But it was right after everything happened and I was totally not in the right headspace. It would have meant that I could only do it for like three months on Broadway in between seasons of Glee. Got it.
And I was like, again full on adrenaline like crazy mode and I'm grateful that I had the wherewithal in my brain to know that it was not the right thing to do at that time and so that door closed and I was like maybe it'll come again like if it's meant to it it will and But I also at that time we were doing so much Funny Girl on Glee that I felt, again, like super satiated.
