Jimmy this is this is a a nightmare then, yeah but to be clear, we had done two readings of this musical before we, you know, were really going to do it in earnest here on broadway and josh claims that he had no idea that there were hats involved, except theres a a mention of hats all over the script i dont read stage directions and he doesnt read stage directions [ laughter ] jimmy oh, my gosh. And i didnt my character never says, im wearing a hat right now. [ laughter ] he just sort of scans for his characters name so i wouldnt know. So i wouldnt think. Jimmy you wouldnt know. But do what happens when someone grabs the wrong hat . Oh, this happened the other night. It happens. Sometimes the hats fall off. Sometimes the, you know.
