--[sings] We've got magic to do
just for you.
That's right, everyone, it's Harry Potter, James
Snyder. I'm not actually Harry Potter, but I'm playing Harry Potter in Harry
Potter and the Cursed Child Parts One and Two. That's right, guys. How far we've come
Broadway.com, thank you very much for having me here. Everyone who saw hey kid
and said hey we want you back, I'm back, and I can't believe it and better than
ever and luckier than ever. There's a little less Darth Vader, but still the
same amount of fun. Guys, we've got we've got makeup,
we've got wardrobe, we've got people, we've got magic, we've got I don't know
maybe some house elves. I have no idea, but it's certainly gonna be a great
eight weeks. Again, thank you guys for sticking around. Episode one, Magic to Do,
but first...
--Mediocre moments in magic!
--Since it's the first episode, I thought I
would explain what mediocre moments in magic are.
--What are mediocre moments of magic?
--Thank you thank you very much Diane Davis and Matt Mueller's weird voice. Aka,
Ginny Weasley. Why it's when you know how
people do great magic... --Yeah, most people
--Yeah, this is not that.
--Okay. I mean, most people aren't magicians.
--Okay, are you ready
--[scats]
Oooh!
Ha!
--Well, here we are in the WAM room, which means wigs hair and makeup, right? So
this is where I get my scar put on and my other scar put on. And what else? We do
a little eyes. We do a little magic. We make me look gorgeous.
--Yes, this right here is the lovely Tiffany. Thank you very much, my love. She how long
have you been working on here quick interview with Tiff.
--No, no. --No. Never mind.
--Okay, well
we're just gonna get started then. And we're also live here. Get my footstool. Okay, so
now this is the part where I get my scar on. Tiffany's gonna put on the latex scar.
So, she puts it into a mold that then has me the ridges. She has to mash it on there,
right? With a little bit of alcohol. It helps melt it on. And hopefully this
works... Oooh. It's a good one. So, if you
look see this you can see the outline. And then oh, that's cool.
And now we're gonna paint on the scar.
We gotta... now some people I had heard
we're complaining a little bit of they're like oh the scar might be a
little too big. The thing I've noticed with this show is, you know, a movie is
one thing where you have a huge camera and
your noggin can be seen from the back
row. But when you're doing theater everything has to be bigger, so that it
it can read from the balcony so that the people in the way back get the same
experience. How do we like that? Okay, so here we come to the fun part where I get
the scar put onto my hand that I got during detention. Not me, but that I got
during detention with Umbridge. So, this is a very technical part where
we throw this on. And people don't even know that this exists a lot of the times,
but we put it on for details because Harry has scars on his hand and in his
heart. And here I am with the gorgeous, talented Carrie Rohn, who does my wig.
She's also in charge of a lot of the hair. How
many wigs are in the show, Carrie? --Umm, I think there's 60 in it
every day.
--Uh-huh, and then if you included
understudies, let's say?
--109.
--109 wigs. And about how long does it take to make one
wig? --Oh, like 60 hours? Like, 60 hours?
That is over 6,000 hours of people
doing this, putting hair on to a weird head. So, this is getting put on my head.
I say we keep it just like that. can we turn it backwards for tonight's
performance?
Is that weird? No one would notice. --I don't think anyone would notice. No notes.
--So, we put the glue on here and here and here and here.
I think that's it. --That's it.
--Are we happy? We're happy. Now I'm Harry Potter.
I'm ready to go Potter.
So we just went to WAM, okay? So, I'm gonna go put my clothes on
but first...
Water cooler wisdom
is not a thing anymore. And now, for shower
thoughts.
--Ain't no is a double negative, so is why stefani suggesting that she is..
a hollaback girl?
--And of course, I'm here with my dresser Julien, and we're just we have the
finishing touches. You can't forget the tie right?
Oh boy. Julien, while I do
this, do you dress any other kind of people around town? Are you allowed to
talk about you know... --Well not at the moment
--Who do you work with? --I've been at Harry Potter
for a year and a half.
--Oh, a year and a half. Pretty --Keeping myself busy waiting for
Sutton Foster to come back to Broadway. --Sutton Foster to come
back to Broadway? Why is that? Do you dress Sutton Foster?
--Yeah, I've been known, I've been known to
dabble. --He hides behind my head while we talk.
--Sutton Foster. --You gotta find your
camera, you gotta find the light and take the lens. Look at that!
--I'm trying to be discreet.
--You guys, I have Sutton Foster's dresser!
--Well, I'm James
Snyder's dresser now. --Yeah, darn tootin! I just try and get some
of the magic to rub off on me.
So, the finishing touches here, Julien, okay so we have the watch that Fabian
Pruitt gave to Molly Weasley, who then gave it to me.
That's right, if you know that little trivia right there. Okay, then the hankie,
in case --Has to be dark blue. No white hankies.
--No, absolutely not because
if you notice it's a very blue theme. I am blue... what else am I forgetting?
--Glasses! --Glasses!
What glasses? What do you mean glasses? Wait... what?
All right, everyone --It's happening...
--It's happening. Places.
Okay, Julien, say goodbye
to the happy beautiful folks.
--Bye, Happy beautiful folks!
--Alright, so off the places. But first,
