00:00Today, I was sitting at my computer, I'm like, I remember talking to you back during that award

00:05season you went through, and you said you thought they were going to recast you because of your

00:10singing. You did such a great job, Michelle. I've seen it. You haven't seen it? No. So I'm so excited

00:18to be going in there. I'm like, hurry up, guys, just start the movie already. I haven't seen it.

00:23Do you consider yourself a singer now? I think I am an amateur trying very hard.

00:30You did really well. You pop on that screen. So I don't need to do like this when I come?

00:38And John would never do that to you. That is absolutely true. What was it like singing in

00:44front of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande? She was my rock. She just held my hand. She said,

00:51Michelle, I know you can do this. I've heard you sing. All right. So just have fun. And when

00:56you have those beautiful eyes staring at you, giving you so much encouragement and confidence.

01:02It was fun. It was fun. I enjoyed it. The first time you had to,

01:08a note came out of you for Wicked. The first time it was like,

01:12she was like, yeah, stop fooling around.

01:16When was the first time you saw Wicked? Had you seen it before you did the movie?

01:21You know, I have always been such a musical buff. And but for a while I had stopped going to the

01:28theater. I think covid and all that also added to it. And I was so grateful going back to the

01:34theater in New York and then in London to watch Wicked. Rekindle my love for that. And so, you

01:41know, Wicked has brought back a lot of joy in my life. And that was nice. And it made you blonde.

01:47I know. So are you having more fun? Are you having more fun as a blonde?

01:52I only just started today, so I'll tell you tomorrow.
