And this clip seems almost like a self-parody.
So the girl group that Dawn, the Sara Bareilles character, is in has a show at Radio City Music Hall.
But they're having trouble selling tickets.

And she sees a film or a TV show is being shot and notices you at the crafts table.
That's a great scene.
It's a great scene.

I want to talk with you about working with Stephen Sondheim and being like originating a role, originating a Stephen Sondheim role.
Unfortunately, it was a show that never quite caught on and went through several iterations and even several titles.
So you were in Bounce as Addison Meisner, one of two brothers who was a Boca Raton that they helped build.
You originated a role, and before we talk about what it was like to work with Sondheim on a Sondheim musical, I want to play a song from it, and it's called Get Out of My Life.
And I chose this because it's a good song, and you're really great in it.
This song is part singing and part really acting.
