SPEAKER_09 3:33

No, no, no, no. We are still in rehearsals. We go into tech on Friday, and I'm so excited. I was nervous coming into this. This was a character. Nervous, yeah, right. I know I was! I mean, Olive is like this quiet, shy little thing, and I've never really gotten to explore that on stage before, and so I'm really excited. Um, but yeah, it's been so much fun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_13 3:52

Yeah, I'm I'm super pumped to do the show. I've done it before. This is my second time playing this character before. And so I feel like now I have a deeper understanding of it. I'm able to approach it with like maybe a little more nuance, or at least hopefully that's the case.

SPEAKER_10 4:07

Um Are you ever worried about misspelling any words? Oh yeah. We do.

SPEAKER_09 4:12

What do you do? You just you just hope that the person who's playing Patch uh decides to say that is correct.

SPEAKER_13 4:19

And that usually that is the case, but if they want to mess with you, they'll you know sing you, and then you're done. Your story arc is done for the rest of the show. You walk off stage, you're eliminated. Like you're done. Yeah, then you're done for. I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_09 4:31

No, no, they don't do that. It's an acting challenge though, to just be if you spell it wrong, you have to commit.

SPEAKER_10 4:35

You have to commit. And would other cast members be laughing at you on stage? Yeah, if they know how to spell it themselves. That speaking of, we have a spelling test. Alright. So whoever would like to take it, just have the mic in front of you. Alright. Okay. Cat.

SPEAKER_07 6:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 6:43

Hello, what's up? I'm Salish, and I'm here with the director choreographer. Will you please introduce yourself?

SPEAKER_07 6:48

Hi, I'm Danny Mefford.

SPEAKER_10 6:49

How are we feeling about this process?

SPEAKER_07 6:51

Oh my gosh, we're thrilled with this process, okay? I'm having the best time. Um, this is such a joyful show. I feel like you kind of can't work on this show and not have a good time. I feel that, and I feel that in your energy. Yeah, so I'm I'm I'm yeah, I don't have anything to say besides like I'm thrilled.

SPEAKER_10 7:07

And also, when you were on the other side of the room, I was like, is he one of the cast members? Oh yes, you could totally be in this. Am I giving actor? It's giving, you could be anything.

SPEAKER_07 7:18

Oh my god, I appreciate that. You could be anything.

SPEAKER_10 7:21

You could chameleon, you could be the leadership in the room, you could be Barfi.

unknown 7:24

I don't know. All right.

SPEAKER_10 7:27

I do have a question for you. Okay. Okay, and so this might be an overall arching spelling bee question, or maybe it's specific. Um why are adults played in this in the production?

SPEAKER_07 7:38

Do you know the history of the spelling bee perchance? Okay, so let me lay you like, but I hope I don't get this wrong. But here's the history of the spelling bee. So some people were doing like a late night improv thing where they had created these characters, and those characters became Schwartzy and Barfay and call him Barfey. But yeah, but maybe some other ones too. I can't remember exactly how many of them were in it. And then Bill Finn, the composer, was taken to this late night thing, and he saw it and was like, I want to make a musical out of this. And so then he started developing a musical. He brought Rachel Shankin, the book writer, in, and they started creating other characters and developing it with the improv people that had begun it. So that is sort of how it develops. That's the the origin story of the spelling bee.

SPEAKER_10 8:28

Okay, so when you're mounting this, yeah, how do you feel about some of these words in the script?

SPEAKER_07 8:35

Okay, well, look, I'm a word lover. Okay. So this is the right kind of show for me. Okay, like I love words, I love etymology. I I just uh it brings me joy, like it brings the characters in the show too. So I'm look, I love all the words. I love, you know, I'm a crossword guy. Like I like the wordplay.

SPEAKER_10 8:59

Can I give you a few words to spell? Sure. Hat.

Um but you know, a different production.

SPEAKER_11 11:06

So the people in the cast are or Right, had transferred over.

SPEAKER_02 11:09

Okay. But you know, it's kind of a new version as these things happen, it's it's growing and changing. Um, but I had so many friends in it last year, and I went in for it then, but I didn't do it. And then it came around a year later, and I heard it was going off Broadway, and I was like, You gotta get me in there. You gotta get me a chance. Um here I am, and and I made it.

SPEAKER_11 11:34

And you? Um what wait, rephrase the question. How did it come into your life? How did this become a big thing? Oh, how did it come into my life? Um, I was on vacation and I got a self-tape, and I said, I'm not doing that, I'm so tired. And my girlfriend said, Yes, you are, it's spelling bee, and I said, You're right, you're right, you're right. And so I did the tape and I was like, no way is this happening, this would be a dream. And then I got the call back and I was like, no way is this happening. And then I got the I booked a home.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

You know what I say when you really don't want to do a self-tape? It's because it's your because it's the whole thing. It's because you're six sense sensing that your life is about to change.

SPEAKER_10 12:12

It's so true. It's so true. Okay, so will you tell me about your awesome? Will you tell me about your characters?

SPEAKER_11 12:30

Secretly, secretly she like hates herself though, is the thing. So it's like a little bit of a double, a little bit of a double Amy. She has gay dads, um, and she loves that about herself. Right. And um they push her to be the best that she can be for better and for worse.

SPEAKER_02 12:44

Great. Yeah. Um, I played Leaf Coney Bear. Um, he just kind of showed up here. Um, he doesn't know how he got there, but he is so excited to be there. He's that kid that everyone underestimates, who even underestimates himself, but there's so much in there brewing and bubbling. Yeah. And this is a show where he has the attitude, he has the gumption to bounce across the stage and and bring out a new part of himself.

SPEAKER_10 13:09

And he's so cute. I can't even like your spirit is so sweet. And I'm like, are you kidding me? When you see him, you're gonna stop. No. I feel that. Oh, okay. So can I give you a couple words to spell?

SPEAKER_02 15:30

One thing, Matt me, is I know my exotic animals.

SPEAKER_11 15:33

This is ridiculous! I didn't get to study these beforehand. Not fair.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

You guys spelling be the musical.

SPEAKER_10 15:40

Congratulations. And thank you for stopping by the Silicia Show. And can that was good.

SPEAKER_08 15:47

I'm Jason Kravitz. I'm playing Vice Principal Panch.

SPEAKER_12 15:50

I am Matt Manuel, and I'm playing Mitch Mahoney.

SPEAKER_10 15:53

This is so fierce. First of all, I saw you sitting over there. I was like, it was a whole live. Did you see him? I did not see him.

SPEAKER_08 16:01

He was like, Oh, I believe it. I believe it.

SPEAKER_12 16:05

Yeah, well, you know. My modeling coach was my aunt, and she did not play no games.

SPEAKER_08 16:11

Come on.

SPEAKER_12 16:12

And I'm so aware of a camera, you will not ever catch me slipping.

SPEAKER_08 16:15

My modeling coach was also my aunt, and that was a problem. That was horrible. Yeah. That did not go well. What kind of principal are you in this show? Vice principal.

SPEAKER_10 16:23

Vice princip Oh oh that's a bad guy, right?

SPEAKER_08 16:25

It's uh it's no, it's just a sore spot for this character. Oh. Vice Principal Panch. Well, I Vice Principal Panch used to host the B. He used to be in charge of all the words and the definitions and the sentences. And then about five years prior to the show here, prior to this this uh this time, he had an unfortunate incident, which we don't discuss. And this is his first year back, so he's working very hard to get it right. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 16:51

Yes. Oh, we know this person. Oh, yes. We know this person.

SPEAKER_08 16:54

Oh, it makes yeah, we all know these people.

SPEAKER_10 16:57

And what about your character? Mitch Mahoney?

SPEAKER_12 17:00

Mitch Mahoney is kind of going through a transition in life, you know. He you'll see him how he imagined his life and what he imagines life to be. You're actually gonna meet him on his first day in education. And so he is just kind of in awe of these kids. He's never worked with kids, he doesn't know, like he's a comfort counselor. He's not one of the spellers, he is not, he is the man that when you get out, he gives you a juice box and walks you off the stage. Yes, yes, that's his job, and he doesn't necessarily know how to be warm, and so he's learning how to connect, and as these kids who he thinks are very weird, to be honest, like he's watching these kids and he ends up kind of rooting and cheering for them. And so you really see his arc of like learning to feel and learning his second passion, which is pretty cool.

SPEAKER_10 18:04

Okay, I was gonna ask because I feel like you're naturally warm.

SPEAKER_12 18:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 18:08

So how do you not be warm on stage?

SPEAKER_12 18:11

Um, I mean, I have a lot of siblings, so I just pretend all my siblings are on stage. I'm kidding. That is terrible. But I really funny and but you know, sometimes you have to just be like like that. And so the hardest part to me of the show is it is such a funny show, and everybody's so good at their job to pretend that the things that are coming out of people's mouths aren't funny is like it feels like treason. Like it's hard.

SPEAKER_10 18:38

And if somebody actually have you ever caught any of your castmates misspelling a word that they were supposed to spell correctly?

SPEAKER_08 18:43

Yeah, we're early in rehearsals. We don't, you know, we don't pick on that right now. Not right now, we will. And by the way, this is a difficult role for Matt because he is a really warm person. And so having to watch him like be a bad guy, I don't know. He doesn't love it, I don't think, but he's good at it. He can do it.

SPEAKER_10 19:01

May I give you some words to spell? You can try, even though you won't be spelling in the show.

SPEAKER_08 19:07

Uh, sure. Cat C A T.
