So I'm driving to work this evening, minding my own business, and listening to my Sirius radio, tuned to the Broadway station (of course). After being on the road for about ten minutes, with about fifteen to go until I get there, who would he begin an interview with but......Nathan frickin' Lane. Even from the first few minutes, it was hysterical and I was like, "okay, I can't just leave my car and miss this." And then I start to think: how much to I really care about this job? Turns out, the answer was: not all that much. Now, I'm not going to try to justify my actions and blame my boss, because it really wasn't a wise decision on my part. I basically turned around, picked up my friend and fellow Nathan Lane enthusiast, and drove around listening to the whole thing. But yeah, just checked my voicemail and I'm to come in tomorrow, pick up my last pay check, and hit the road. *sob sob* Hey, I'm over it. It's no tragedy.
I don't know if anyone else here has Sirius or is familiar with the DJ stylings of Seth Rudetsky, but he's the main DJ on the Broadway station. How to describe he's personality.....? Small, very excitable puppy. Something like that. He's really funny and excentric and I love listening to him. This interview....I can't even begin to tell you. So amazing. (or amahzing, as Seth would say) For one thing, he doesn't really like to discuss plays, I suppose because they don't have any songs in them he can play, so he was kind of glossing over most of the plays Nathan Lane had done and just kind of jumping around to the various musicals. At one point, he was like, "Ok, I'm going to play such and such song, for such and such reason" (I don't really remember, but it wasn't really anything to do with Nathan) and Nathan goes, "Everythings a fucking musical with you, isn't it?" If that paints any picture for you what their chemistry was like. They kind of jabbed at each other here and there, and it was really cool. There were some points where they were just both completely laughing their asses off. They talked about how he was trained and how he got his Equity Card, which caused Nathan to groan and swear profusely. They talked about Forum, and Assassins, and Guys and Dolls, Frogs, and obviously The Producers. They talked a bit about him doing The Birdcage too. It was cool when they were talking about the Producers, because he talked about how Betrayed came to be in the show and stuff. Seth played 'Sue Me,' 'We Can Do It,' 'Betrayed,' 'Hakuna Matata,' and.... I'm feeling like I'm missing something. There was so much giggling from the DJ (and from Eric and I lol).
They also talked briefly about hating Hannah Montanna and how some 16 year old guy tried to hijack and plane and crash it in to her concert. This amused me to no end.
Well, I must be off, because I'm still at Eric's house because my parents think I'm at work and I have to figure out a way to explain to them why I no longer have a job. I doubt they're going to be terribly understanding, but I've said it once and I'll say it again: It was COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!
adios blockbuster
