Transcript
00:00Hi, how are you? I'm good. I can't believe I'm actually here with all these amazing women, so I'm terrific, thank you.
00:06And talk to me about what you're working on right now.
00:09So I'm here representing a film that Lifetime is putting out in about a week, October 19, called Patsy and Loretta,
00:16about the friendship between country icons Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, so that's why I'm here today.
00:21And what was it like to be a part of that, with such legendary names attached, their legacy?
00:26Oh my gosh. Yeah, not intimidating at all, no pressure. It was pretty dreamy.
00:34Megan Hilty, who plays Patsy Cline in the film, she and I kept saying that we're pretty much spoiled for life now.
00:41Working with Lifetime was an incredible experience. They took such good care of everyone,
00:46and there was so much care and investment behind this film, so I'm really excited for people to see it.
00:50And you and Megan are both Broadway stars yourselves, so have you guys talked about getting together again?
00:56We have. Actually, we're going to do a show together in New York at Town Hall on December 2nd,
01:01because she and I just kept saying, like, well, we've got to keep singing together.
01:04We've only got to sing one song in the film together. We were like, we've got to keep this going.
01:07So, yeah, and she's stuck with me for life now, so I'm sure we'll have many more times when we'll get together and make music and pal around.
01:14A holiday show, potentially?
01:16I think there's going to be some holiday hits in there. Holiday favorites, yes.
01:20Do you ever reprise your roles in The Waitress again?
01:22You know what? Actually, when is the show having its final performance on?
01:30I should know this. January? I'll have to look it up.
01:34But Jordan Sparks is in the show right now, and I just hear, like, amazing things.
01:38I mean, there have been amazing women that have come in and taken on that leading role of Jenna in Waitress,
01:45and it's exciting. I feel like the show really has created such a following, and it's touched a lot of people,
01:52and that just means so much to everybody who was a part of putting it out there.
01:56And what's next for you?
01:58I've got a couple projects coming up that I can't really talk about yet,
02:01but possibly something on stage in the spring,
02:06and a couple other animation projects that I'm working on, so I'm excited.
02:10I'm excited.
