THAT WAS AMAZING.
DNA TO CATCH HER BREATH.
>> SO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR
CHARACTER?
CHARACTER? >> I'M PLAYING CAN PRINCESS
CARMELLA.
CARMELLA.
CARMELLA. SHE IS A RIDICULOUS DRAMATIC
DIVA AND SHE LIKES PINK AND
BEING LOUD AND THERE'S A LOT
OF GLITTER INVOLVED.
>> I PLAY PRINCESS PIPER AND
SHE IS A PERFECTIONIST.
SHE USES PURPOSE TO CALM HER
NERVES.
NERVES.
NERVES. >> I PLAY PROTEST FAYE AND SHE
IS THE OLDEST SISTER.
SHE HAS BEEN LOCKED UP FOR THE
LONGEST SHOWS SO SHE HAS TAKEN
ON A MODERN ROLE.
SHE IS THE WARRIOR.
>> I PLAY PRINCESS HOLLY.
SHE LOVES ANIMALS, SHE LOVES
NATURE.
NATURE.
NATURE. >> WHY IS EVERYBODY LAUGHING?
>> YOU WILL SEE WHEN YOU SEE
THE SHOW.
THE SHOW.
THE SHOW. >> SHE IS THE PRINCESS THAT
BELIEVES IN THEIR AUTHENTICITY
THE MOST.
THE MOST.
THE MOST. SHE IS THE MOST CONFIDENT IN
WHO SHE IS.
>> GENERATIONS GREW UP WITH
THE PRINCESS WAITS DEMURELY
FOR THE SAVIOR ON THE
STALLION.
STALLION.
STALLION. THIS IS NOT THAT AND IT'S A
VERY MODERN STORY IN THAT WAY
AND A STORY THAT I PERSONALLY
AM REALLY GLAD THAT LITTLE
GIRLS AND WOMEN ARE HEARING.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE TO ME WHAT IS
DIFFERENT?
DIFFERENT? >> I THINK IT IS EXACTLY THAT.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT WHEN WE
ARE HAVING MOMENTS OF SELF-
DOUBT THAT WE THINK ABOUT THE
LITTLE GIRLS THAT REALLY NEED
THIS SHOW.
THIS SHOW. WE HAVE ALSO THAT SO MANY
TIMES.
TIMES.
TIMES. JUST SEEING THEMSELVES ON
STAGE BEEN DEPICTED AS PEOPLE
THAT DO NOT NEED ANYONE.
>> IT IS ABOUT ACCEPTANCE.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG
IT IS DIFFICULT TO ON WHO YOU
ARE OR EVEN KNOW WHO THAT IS.
WHEN WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO
EMBRACE WHO WE ARE AND HOW
UNIQUE WE ARE THE BETTER
THINGS WILL BE FOR US IN THE
FUTURE.
FUTURE.
FUTURE. >> THE SHOW REALLY TURNS IT ON
ITS HEEL BECAUSE IT IS A LOT
OF WOMEN SUPPORTING OTHER
WOMEN.
WOMEN.
WOMEN. YOU HAVE THE FOUR SISTERS AND
AND YOU WILL MEET THE REST OF
THE CAST LATER BUT THAT IS THE
THING FOR ME THAT I LOVE THE
MOST ABOUT THE FAIRYTALE IS
THAT IT IS ABOUT WOMEN THAT
ARE CONSTANTLY COMING TO EACH
OTHER'S AGE AND FIGHTING FOR
EACH OTHER.
EACH OTHER. >> THAT IS WHAT GETS YOU
THROUGH LIFE.
THROUGH LIFE. >> THERE IS A SPECIFIC IMAGE
THAT WE HAVE OF THE TYPICAL
PRINCESS AND I THINK A LOT OF
GIRLS SEE THAT IMAGE AND WANT
TO DRESS UP LIKE THAT.
I THINK THAT WE ARE PRESENTING
A DIFFERENT IMAGE THAT IS MORE
RELATABLE FOR A LITTLE GIRL
DOES NOT HAVE TO THINK I NEED
TO CHANGE TO FIT INTO THAT.
I CAN BE WHO I AM NOW AND THAT
IS PERFECT AND OKAY.
>> YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE
KNOW WELL FROM SEX AND THE
CITY AND THE SHOW.
WHO WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT
MARIO?
MARIO?
MARIO? >>
MARIO? >> MARIO IS THIS PILLAR OF --
HIS CHARACTER IS PERFECT
BECAUSE HE SAYS A LOT OF
THINGS THAT THE AUDIENCE IS
ALREADY THINKING AND HE ALSO
PLAYS A REALLY COOL ARCHETYPE
THAT YOU WILL DISCOVER AS YOU
WATCH THE SHOW THAT HE IS
FILLING IN A VERY SPECIFIC
ROLE THAT MEN TEND TO FILL IN
SOCIETY AND HE DOES IT WITH
SUCH SELF-AWARENESS AND HUMOR
AND IT IS REALLY FUN TO HAVE
THEM TAKE YOU ON ALONG ON THE
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. >>
RIGHT. >> I CANNOT WAIT.
HONEY WARM UP?
THAT IS A LOT OF SINGING.
SO TEACH US A WARM UP THAT WE
CAN ALL USE.
>> I THINK THE BEST THING TO
DO, THE MOST EASIEST WARM UP
TO DO IS TO ACTUALLY DO CARDIO
IN THE MORNING.
IT IS THE BEST BECAUSE YOUR
VOICE IS SURROUNDED BY MUSCLES
SO WHEN YOU GET THE BLOOD
FLOWING EARLY AND YOU HAVE
THAT GOING ON YOUR VOICE
SETTLES FASTER.
SETTLES FASTER. >> I WAS HOPING IT WAS HUMMING
OR SOMETHING.
OR SOMETHING. >> I LIKE TO DO MY WHICH
CHEMICAL.
CHEMICAL.
CHEMICAL. >> I AM SURPRISINGLY GOOD AT
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. >>
THAT. >> IT IS REALLY FUN TO HEAR
THAT ONE SPECIFICALLY ECHOING
BACKSTAGE.
BACKSTAGE. >> THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING
HERE THIS MORNING.
IT RUNS THROUGH FEBRUARY 23 AT
THE FIFTH AVENUE THEATER.
WE HAVE ONE PAIR OF TICKETS FOR
