(bright music)
- They did not say bring mics.
Week five.
It's notes time.
It's Friday.
That's what I have to say,
but I'm taking you with me
as I walk down the stairs. (Derek yelling)
That's Derek warming up.
(crowd chatters)
This is everyone gathering for notes.
Time for notes.
We love to get notes.
Notes on notes on notes.
- Feels like a slumber party.
- [Kathryn] Mia.
- Hi, vlog.
- [Kathryn] What are you doing?
- Notes.
- [Kathryn] Are they for me?
- So many notes for Kathryn.
- [Kathryn] I know.
So many notes.
This is the best part of the day
before anything starts.

- [Dyana] Is she yelling at Siri or at me?
- Oh!
Why is it not?
It's not even on low battery.
I don't get it.
I just wanna play my music.
I'm gonna play an uplifting one now.

There's a whole dance party when I brush my teeth.
I didn't realize what Dyana's doing, I'm just on a roll.
- Hi!
- She's making sure my clothes stay clean and not smelly.
- [Dyana] And that they're hung
on the right hangers, Kathryn?
- I don't hang them on the right hangers.
- [Dyana] Never.
- Never do.
Fire, baby!
Come on! (laughs)
I don't know.
I can't turn it all the way in.
Oh, there we go.
We already have fans waiting outside the theater
just, oh no, that's Broadway's Jane Bruce!
- Oh no, is it Kathryn Gallagher?
Is that my kitty kat right there?
- [Kathryn] It's your kitty kat!
- Oh man!
- I just stopped recording and then tripped up the stairs
and nobody even saw it.
It's like I'm missing gold here, you know?
I do plan to win an Oscar
for my cinematography on this vlog, though,
and I think you'll all agree why.
So this is my pre-show ritual
that I learned from my friends that know stuff about health
and I dry brush and I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right
'cause I watched my best friend do it like a lot,
but basically, it's a brush and you brush your skin
and it's supposed to be good for you
and I'll believe anything,
literally anything, which you can tell
by the amount of CBD creams and Airborne chewies,
I eat those 'cause they taste good, though,
and so before every show, I brush my entire body
and you're supposed to brush towards your heart.
It gets your lymphatic system going, I think, probably,
and, you know, that's all I know about it,
but it's a nice ritual
and so this is getting ready for the show.
Number two!
Two doje.
And listening to Taylor Swift,
obviously, is a really crucial part of it.
So I said that I had some friends visiting at the show
and I think you guys might recognize one of them.
- I'm not wearing foundation,
I did not sign a form,
I did not, I'm not okay with this.
- Alex Wyse, ladies and gentlemen.
- She's so brilliant in the show
and you have to come see Jagged Little Pill.
It's unbelievable.
This was an amazing evening.
- I love you so much.
- Okay I'm off.
- Bye vlog!
Welcome to the end of the day!
I'm here in my
house, in my apartment,
and I am about to take off my makeup.
I wash my face with olive oil 'cause I'm a weirdo,
but it's really awesome,
it's a really awesome way to wash your face
and not dry you out in the winter months.
So yeah, we had a really exciting day today.
Alex Wyse, of course, is here, which made me so happy.
Eve Ensler was there, so cool.
I thought I saw Tony Danza there,
but turns out I didn't, I think,
maybe he was, hey Tony, what's up?
Love Who's the Boss?
But yeah, it was a really exciting day,
and now it's my favorite part of the day
which is sleeping and I'm listening to The 1975.
There's always music.
Wherever I am, I am always playing music.
It is like the most important part of my day.
And then I wash my face again after the olive oil,
I use this like kale, which I'm almost out of,
kale green tea and spinach vitamins face wash,
'cause, you know, if you're gonna go all in with health,
put it on your face, too, right?
So yeah, so I'm gonna wash my face,
I'm gonna brush my teeth,
I'm gonna take a bunch of vitamins,
which maybe I'll show you,
it's kind of fun how many weird homeopathic things
us Broadway people take to stay super healthy
and to endure the week.
So anyway, yay, day in the life, baby.
I told you I'd show you how many vitamins I take at night.
This is all to help me sleep.
Where'd my melatonin go?
That's in the there somewhere,
but yeah, basically lots of sleeping
homeopathic things to help me go right to sleep
and get a restful sleep
and then some vitamins,
and the best vitamins of all time,
photos of my best friends,
I got these two right here.
That's one my best friends, Elizabeth,
and that's one of my best friends, Stephanie.
Wait, I got one more,
and this one is right when I walk in,
this is my best friend, Chloe.
And that's the best vitamin that I need
is best friends, obviously.
Anyway, this was a to share day with me,
and I'm gonna hit the hay,
probably watch some Seinfeld
and
yeah.
Go away!
- [Dyana] What are you doing?
- What up, butt?
- [Dyana] What's on your face?
- Just a little face mask.
Yeah, gotta keep my youthful glow
and it makes me shiny like a unicorn!
It's no fun.
- [Dyana] You also match your carpet right now
and it's killing me.
- Oh, I like to match my surroundings.
I took it from Elizabeth Stanley.
She also--
- Yeah, you're gonna have to show them her room
so they understand.
- Oh my god, ow!
I will.
This is a pre-matinee
self care experience,
and self care hurts sometimes.
Ain't that the truth, aye!
And that brings us to another episode of
- [Both] On the Puff!
- And here we have Lauren Patten,
best known for her work as Awkward Girl
on, Nerdy Girl, I'm so sorry.
- God, Kathryn, how?
- Nerdy Girl on the show Awkward,
which would make you awkward also.
- I love your work in that, by the way.
- Thank you, but like it's truly very well known,
so I don't understand how you mixed that up.
- I don't either.
I'm really sorry.
- It's okay, I forgive you.
- Lauren plays Jo in our show.
- Would you say Jo's a nerdy girl?
- I don't think Jo is a nerdy girl.
I think Jo gets a solid B to C range in all classes.
- So you have range as an actor?
- Yes. (laughs)
- At least a solid A in wit.
- Yeah, A in wit.
- Solid A in wit. - Super witty.
- Very witty.
- Wit is underappreciated in high school.
Do you think that
as being in Awkward,
has that prepared you for Jo
in the sense that is Jo awkward?
- Yeah, I think that Jo one on one is not awkward at all
and I think with people who actually get Jo
she's like super not awkward,
but I think in general high school situations,
not super great at talking to most people because--
- Jo is wise beyond her years
and misunderstood by her peers.
- For sure, for sure.
- So Lauren, back to you as a person,
I've known you forever.
- Yes.
- Since we were babies.
- No, but yes.
- Since you had long, curly hair.
- I did have such long hair.
- You had long hair.
- I had really long hair.
- We did Spring Awakening together in LA
in a 99 seat theater.
- Yes, yes, we did.
- Lauren, what's your favorite thing about LA,
what's your favorite thing about New York,
and do you miss LA at all?
- My favorite thing about LA,
what do I like of LA,
no, I do like LA.
I like it more than I did when I lived there.
Now I like it more.
- Having a car
is like having an apartment on wheels, though.
- You know what I miss actually?
I miss singing in my car.
- You drove a Prius, right?
- I did, I had a Prius.
I also biked a lot.
- That's a solid choice.
What was the year?
- It was a newer one, 'cause it was hybrid electric
and it was like a baby robin's egg blue.
It was a beautiful car.
- I remember that car.
- That is a pretty color of blue.
- We've had many deep talks in that car.
- We did, we did.
That is something I miss.
I miss getting to sing in my car
'cause now it's awkward to sing in my apartment
and everybody can hear me and I really don't like.
- One, two, three. (laughs)
- On a serious note, you do,
what do you do to prepare for your show,
because you, like you said, you sing and talk very loud.
- How do you keep it up?
- And you move your body very quickly.
- Yes.
- So how do you warm that up and excel the way you do?
- Thank you, Derek.
I appreciate that you think I excel.
- You do.
- I mean, above average.
- Better than Jo's grades in high school.
I think, so I do a long vocal warm up, for sure
and love a good steam, love a steamer.
I have a neck warmer that I heat up in the microwave
and I put that on.
- Oh, very nice.
- And that heats up my neck.
- Both of you guys have these heating appliances
and I feel like I need to get on board.
- They're very nice.
- Kathryn, fittingly, has a fluffy heating pad.
- Everything in Kathryn's dressing room
is coated in a fluffy substance.
- I love fluff!
- It's all fluff. - She loves the fluff,
and we love the Puff. - I like to be covered
by hugs, oh that was so good, fluffin' the Puff.
- Yeah, I do a lot of physical exercises on the deck
right before, you gotta know to warm your body up.
- Just standard TLC.
- TLC.
Yeah, lotta sleep, lotta water.
- I love that.
- It's an athletic pursuit.
- Very nice.
Well Lauren, thank you so much for joining us
on the Puff today. - Thank you for joining us
on the Puff.
- You are so welcome.
- And this has been another successful episode
of On the Puff.
Join us next weath, next weath,
- (laughs) Next week.
- with another surprising guest.
- Thanks for joining us
- [Both] On the Puff!
- Guys, this is the best week ever
and thank you so much for joining us
on the Jagged Little Thrill!
And I'm so tired.
I'm gonna go sleep for 48 hours
and I'll see you on Tuesday.
