About a year ago, i did an event that he was honored in washington, d. C. At he got the gershwin prize. And he asked if i would come and perform and so i they asked me what song i wanted to do. And i said, what about piano man. And then they said, well, really, billys going to do that and jimmy he is the piano man. Okay, yeah. So i then waited a couple of days and i called back and i said, well can you ask billy if hed mind if we did piano man together . And billy actually thought that was a a cool idea. And then i waited about four or five days and i said, do you think billy would mind if i did the harmonica part . [ light laughter ] so then billy called me and said, do you play the harmonica . And i said jimmy no, but no, but ill learn it for this gig. So i did, i spent a month on the set of house of cards learning the harmonica part and we did it live. Jimmy i saw this. So then i was here in new york on friday, and mutual friends were having lunch with him. And i said, please tell him the president says hello. [ laughter and applause ] and he said he said, what president . And i said, well, its kevin spacey. And he said, oh, you should come to my concert, in fact, we should do piano man. And i went, no, no, no, first of all, i dont have my harmonica, i have to spend the afternoon learning it again jimmy yeah. Why dont we do something weve never done. So i suggested new york state of mind. Jimmy what . I mean thats like and he said, sure. Jimmy why would you suggest that . Thats a tricky song. Thats such an awesome song. Jimmy i know it is, but its like some people like to get away take a holiday in the neighborhood fly down to miami beach or to Hollywood Jimmy oh, my gosh. Im taking a greyhound on the hudson river line im in a new york state of mind jimmy im in a sorry, sorry, we just had to do that. Jimmy but heres what i love about that.

Jimmy and you dont know whos going to stop by and get up and sing. That guys a talented guy. But speaking of talented, i wanted to understand, you have an announcement that youre going to make tonight yes. Jimmy which i think is a a cool thing, its kind of a a historical thing yeah. Jimmy in that its never been done before. Thats right. Jimmy please explain whats happening. Well, people may or may not know that i did a play in london two years ago, when i left the old vic theatre, the last play i did there was a a play about the Great American lawyer named Clarence Darrow. And its a oneman show. And Clarence Darrow for people who dont know how many know Clarence Darrow . You ever heard of him . Great. Those people went to history class. Jimmy yeah. [ light laughter ] Clarence Darrow was one of the Great American lawyers of alltime in the United States. The scopes monkey trial, which has been turned into a a great movie and play called inherit the wind, which is about the Science Teacher that wanted to teach evolution in school. The leopold and loeb case, he was an incredible labor attorney and a really inspirational figure. So i did this oneman show. And i wanted to bring it to america, but we did it when we did it at the old vic we reconfigured the theatre into a a theatre in the round. And i thought, you know, how can i find a theater in the round . There arent really many theaters in the round at all. And then a while back, i was at the opening of the u. S. Open. I was, you know, with arthur ashe, and i was watching. It was the night where they had a concert, you know, the opening, so theres a band playing and the lights were on, not normally as it as it looks. I suddenly thought, wait a a minute, drama happens on this court all the time jimmy yeah. And so i am announcing right now that on june 15th and 16th, were just announcing two performances, we are doing this play about Clarence Darrow at Arthur Ashe Stadium in queens. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy i mean, come on. Now, that is a big deal. June 15th. Were just announcing were just announcing tonight, the 15th and 16th of june, tickets will go on sale on ticketmaster. Com on the 30th of april. But were only announcing two, if people want more, we will do more. But whats great about it is that, it means that i can have like 300 seats for students. Like young people can afford to come and see a play. [ cheers and applause ] jimmy see live theater. But just again first of all, i love that you go to the opening of the u. S. Open and youre thinking theater. Thats true. Jimmy how do i use this on but you also have to think of it this way. All right, so even in the worst seat in the house jimmy yeah. People pay good money to watch a little yellow ball fly at hundreds of miles an hour across the court. Jimmy oh, yeah. Im much taller than a a little yellow ball. Jimmy yes, yes, you are, yeah and were also going to use the tv screens. So it will feel quite intimate. Jimmy wow. And weve got quite incredible rock n roll people who know how to do these events who are doing the sound and the lighting and everything. Im so excited to share this play with the american audiences. Jimmy i think its going to be so cool. And i think [ cheers and applause ] i think youre on to something. I think this is going to start a thing. I i can say this, if this works out, i can see myself going to stadiums all across the United States. Jimmy oh, that would be so much fun tickets to see kevin spacey perform at Arthur Ashe Stadium will be on sal april 30th at ticketmaster. Com. Dont miss it.
