00:00How am I staying focused for my Broadway moment?
00:03You know what?
00:04I'm just staying in a real space of gratitude that I'm here and that not even a year ago
00:10I wasn't even thinking about Broadway or thinking that I was able to do so in my mind.
00:16It's a challenge, you know, doing eight shows in six days.
00:19It is because people say, you know, eight shows in a week.
00:21It's like, no, in six days.
00:23Take a day off literally out of that.
00:24You get one day off on Monday.
00:27And it's a grind.
00:28It's kind of like the Olympics.
00:29You know, it's like you train and you train and then you get into the space where it's
00:31like you have to just show up every day.
00:34I don't get to fake the funk.
00:35I don't get to lip sync.
00:36I don't get to...
00:37I mean, even if I'm sick, if I'm not sick enough, I'm not going to call out.
00:41You know, it becomes this push every single day and I'm so grateful for that.
00:45So I think the preparation of all that kind of gets me in the space every day to just go
00:50for it.
