i do feel like broadway is losing part of its foundation with the show closing. pride is an understatement as to what i would feel. this show is much bigger than. ..the rest of us. and it has been a wonderful, wonderful ride indeed. cheering and applause good morning.
i was actuallyjust finishing another show, and i hadn t seen my daughter in a while. and then i got this auditioni from my agents, and i said, no, i don t want to do that. he stopped and he turned around in his chair and said, ben, - if you don t do that audition, you will regret it for- the rest of your life. and i figured a good way of getting out some emotions was to, like, i tell my daughter how important it | would be if i were to get the job. | and i kind of got the panic attack out of my system j and literally my phone rang, and it was my agent - telling me i had gotten it. and it s a frustrating thing - because the costs have risen since, you know, the post pandemic world. so the show closing is very bittersweet. | welcome to the real phantom s lair. it felt like my years of studying and practice had paid off. this is the first show
there s nothing not to love about it. it s all challenging, and it s all wonderful, and i m just so lucky to be able to work on it. i do feel like broadway is losing part of its foundation with the show closing. pride is an understatement as to what i would feel. this show is much bigger than. ..the rest of us. and it has been a wonderful, wonderful ride indeed. cheering and applause
