As for the show’s signature musicality, there’s a section of the score where all the tunes are the same rhythm. In the script, it’s called the universal beat. It’s very relaxing and cool. The whole show is like that.

Why was it important for you to work with theater nerds like Rick Miller and Svetlana Lunkina?

They’re the best in the world. You’ve seen their work. You’re like, That’s it! They can work on any show, make it great, and know it inside and out. They’re also really cool and approachable.

That’s a nice thing. I’ve had a lot of fun working with theater nerds. They know theater!

Right. They know a lot of people I know.

I’m a huge fan of their shows, but we didn’t know each other until they brought me onto this show. They love that show, but it wasn’t until this production, with all of the changes we made, that we bonded.

It must be cool to be able to make the show your own, especially if you’re the one doing the changing.

We were all on the same page. We had to turn the show into what we wanted it to be.

How are you doing with the numbers? The old ones, that is.

I love it! My favorite thing in the world is singing a Broadway song.

I feel the same way.

I’m obsessed. It makes me so happy to sing. I’m very happy that I got to do it on Broadway.

I have to say that, for me, the number that I just cannot get out of my head is the song from the music video, as well. It’s like my drug.

It really has been.

I have it on my phone. And it’s in my car. And my house. And my bag.

It’s everywhere.

It will be. I know that. I have friends who are constantly trying to get it out of my head.

Do you feel like you have to keep up with your early pop star career, in a way? Do you still sing, like, pop songs at every show?

I try. I do a lot of pop songs. My show is very pop.

Yeah, there are a lot of songs.

I try to. I love it. But I don’t feel I have to do it. I don’t feel like I have to do pop songs. But I know I want to do it. I love it.

Does it ever get frustrating to have to do the same things every show?

No. Not really. It does get frustrating when I can’t get out of it. Like, I had to sing “Shallow” for the first time on Broadway.

But I had to sing “Shallow” in the show.

Yeah. It got really frustrating. But I love it. I love singing.

It ‘s like when you have to do math homework, but you love doing math homework.

Exactly. I’m an awkward person who loves doing math homework.

You gotta find a way to love it.

I know.

A romance told through a series of texts.

Text messages that get more personal and suggestive as the night goes on.

I knew I was in trouble.

And I knew the only thing I could do to save myself was leave.

And I did.

So here I sit at Starbucks writing my next scene.

It’s a bit of a stretch, I know.

And I know I’m not that good at writing sex scenes.

But I don’t care.

Because I don’t want to write about the action.

I want to write about the aftermath.

I want to write about the aftermath of a bad decision.

I want to write about the aftermath of a bad decision in a very real, very emotional way.

Because that’s what a love story is.

The aftermath of a bad decision.

Good morning, lovelies.

I have a new song for you today.

I don’t know who sings it, and I don’t know the exact year it was written, but it’s one of my favorites.

It’s just one of those songs that sounds like an old Southern gospel hymn.

I have to admit that it’s my favorite on this whole album.

It’s called God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and it’s by the group Enon.

I hope you like it.
