Totally.

And the crowd.

They're unique in their own way.

You mean, are you saying like a Broadway audience compared to a West End audience?

So, fortunately, I can answer this very clearly because two years ago I did a play on the West End, which was a comedy, so I have a very fresh memory of how audiences respond.

And they're very gracious and they love the show, but they're much more contained in a very British way, you know, even though it's the 21st century.

But, you know, there's a certain way British audiences are.

And then there's a Broadway audience, which, like, it's another...

planet of energy that I wasn't expecting.

You know, I've watched many, many shows, you know, there's this thing that American audiences do, Broadway audiences do, where, you know, every time the actor comes up for the first time in their, here's a round of applause, which does not, I started to happen in the UK because everything finally reaches us.

But here it's a thing.

It's like, yes, you're here.

And then they, then they calm down.

And of course I'm playing

Dr. Frankenfurter who has probably like as far as I can see the best entrance of any male musical theatre leading man could ever have on a stage right and I have this wonderful moment you know which is so iconic in the film and you know when there's this vamp that starts and

I would say 85% of the audience know what's coming next.

And I'm standing behind a shutter and I can hear them starting to scream over my poor actor colleague's lines because they know he's about to arrive.

So funny.

That doesn't happen in the UK.

It's very, very... It's like I said to you, it feels like I'm doing a rock concert every night in full, you know, Gene Simmons, Freddie Mercury, you know.
