So she had to sing in front of our whole school by herself.

And I'm in this big black unitard as her shadow.

And so I haven't lived it down since then.

At some point, I will get in a unitard and sing in front of her for at some point.

And so you must have been excited when you got to direct the movie version of probably the biggest musical of the last 20 years, right?

I was at USC at the time.

Defying gravity.

Did that happen at all?

We were all sobbing.

We were all sobbing.

Okay.
