Short filmTranscript
00:00We're just excited to be in L.A. You know, we have Fran Drescher with us here and she
00:18is amazing.
00:19You know, the idea of getting back into the dresses seemed very enticing.
00:26I asked some of my confidants and everybody thought, oh, do it.
00:31And so I decided, okay, I'll do it.
00:33And here I be.
00:34This show, it's like the country's aching for this story right now and it's obvious
00:44in our audiences.
00:45They're so excited.
00:46There was a little bit of a modern twist in this version and it was awesome.
00:50Super relevant.
00:51My most favorite character is the Fairy Godmother.
01:02Life is hard and everybody needs a little help, a little push from somebody or something
01:07and the Fairy Godmother represents that for people.
01:10I think that's why she's so well loved.
01:17There are so many great songs.
01:19You cannot leave this show without singing the tunes.
01:34By the end of the night, everyone leaves feeling really touched.
01:37It's very real and very contemporary and that makes it so easy for both kids and adults
01:43to relate to it.
01:44I thought it was awesome.
01:46All of the dresses and the dancing.
01:47I thought it was really neat and cool.
01:48The mom, the stepmom had that voice and it was really funny.
01:49I like when she and the prince kiss.
