Yeah, we'll go with that.

I'm thrillified to be here.

Madison, you are slightly... Perhaps slightly more or less green, I guess, in this particular... A little different from Kyle here.

I am familiar with the musical.

I have seen it on the Broadway.

When Wicked returned after the pandemic shut down, deep in the pandemic, my little sister called me and said, we have to be there the first night.

And we like Wicked, but this is not like a musical that we have a deep...

long sisterly tradition of and I said why and she goes the first line Glinda comes down from the bubble and says it's good to see me isn't it and my sister said the crowd is gonna go nuts it will cure the depression we've been sunk into for years and she was right she was really right being there that night was for lack of a better word magical

I had seen it in Chicago of all places.

And also, I grew up as a young millennial musical theater geek with blonde hair and a gentle curl, as it were.

So what I'm saying is I did sing for good at my eighth grade graduation with a girl I literally never saw again after that day.

I think this was a formative experience for many.

Some people come into your life for a reason.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's because they can also like hold a pitch.

I mean, been interested.

I don't know how closely you followed the production of Wicked, the film.

It took decades.

Is that right?

It was it was sort of like, you know, like Lucy and the football for many of us online.
