00:00What was it like putting together the choreography for this movie?
00:03And were there any updates or changes that you made from the show?
00:07Well, this is entirely different from the Broadway show in terms of choreography.
00:12So there's no overlap there.
00:14But we made sure that the choreography was cool and fresh and new
00:20and representative of what this generation grew up watching.
00:25Were there any musical numbers that were particularly tough to put together?
00:30Someone Gets Hurt was a beast of a number.
00:32The one in the Halloween house where Regina is seducing Aaron Samuels.
00:38And that number is one of my favorites.
00:41But it was such a beast to put together.
00:46What was it like putting together the Christmas pageant show?
00:48Because that's the one that I feel like is one of the iconic ones, even from the original film.
00:52Yeah, that one, I knew that there was going to be such a high level of scrutiny for that one
00:58because it's so iconic, the original, like that thigh slap.
01:02And I was like, I can't do the same thing.
01:04So I had to put my own spin on it and took influence from my choreography that I've done for Blackpink
01:10and things like that to make sure that it felt current.
01:16And what was it like getting this whole cast together for rehearsals?
