00:00What was the prep like for the musical scenes, and did Patti LuPone give the cast any advice?

00:05Ooh, the prep for the musical scenes.

00:07I mean, we had Bobby and Kristen Lopez, who are amazing songwriters and composers,

00:12just give us this gift of a song.

00:16And then we had Doug Peck, who was our vocal trainer, and we had all these rehearsals,

00:20and, you know, it was like a full choir.

00:23We became a choir.

00:25And I think people were intimidated to sing with Patti because she's a legend.

00:30But she's so down-to-earth, and she just really felt like part of the team.

00:33Like, I think she made us feel very comfortable, and once we were actually singing together, it just felt right.

00:39How did you embrace your inner witch while filming this?

00:42I mean, I always embraced my inner witch, even before I was on this show.

00:45So I'm glad to be on a show where that is welcomed, and it really brought the witch out of everybody.

00:50Like, we're all just, like, pulling tarot for each other and talking about the moon,

00:55and it just felt so magical all the time.

00:57Given that all this magic was happening, did anything actually spooky happen on set?

01:02Did you ever feel like, ooh, like, maybe the spooky vibes are for real?

01:06Hmm.

01:07I don't think spooky, no.

01:08Definitely magic.

01:09I do feel like there was, like, a lot of kinetic energy happening underneath what we were doing.

01:13And I think, you know, when there's a group of people who are, like, kind of on the same wavelength,

01:19that kind of thing happens.

01:21I know there were a lot of practical effects in the show, practical sets built.

01:24How did that help you as an actor get into character?

01:26Immensely.

01:27I mean, the set designers and the effects people were so good at their job,

01:31and I think they had a lot of fun creating this world for us.

01:34And that just helps us as actors be able to, like, really feel like we're in the environment

01:38as opposed to, like, pretending we're in the environment and, like, looking at a tennis ball.

01:42You know, we're, like, actually walking through trees and walking on dirt,

01:45and that really helps enhance our performance.

01:48And for you, you recently came out as part of the LGBTQ plus community.

01:51What has the fan response to that interview been like for you?

01:54It's been so welcoming and so amazing.

01:57I feel very lucky that I'm in a time where a lot of people are excited for people to live their truth.

02:04And, yeah, I'm just glad to be doing that.

02:06Mm-mm.

02:07Mm-mm.

02:08Mm-mm.

02:19Mm-mm.
