- Hi queens!
(screaming)
- Oh my God!
- Anne Hathaway, oh my God!
- The Princess Diaries.
- Ella Enchanted.
- Les Mis.
- Devil Wears Prada.
Everything she's been in has been incredible.
Well done, Anne Hathaway, I love you so much.
I love you so much.
- I understand it's Rusical week.
- Yes.
- I have a little bit of experience in musicals,
so I thought that this might be a good week
to stop by The Werk Room
and find out if you have any questions.
Oh, I just have to let you guys know,
like, I don't care who I am,
I still break out in hives.
(laughing)
So I'm just gonna arrange my hair,
cover up the fact that I get very nervous talking in public.
- Baby, you're in our living room,
this is not public, we are just kiking.
- I don't know, a lot of people watch Drag Race.
(laughing)
- I definitely have a question.
You famously have died in a musical theater role,
I mean, you might've won an Oscar for it.
What directions can you give me on how to die in a musical?
- Just like don't sneeze.
(laughing)
I don't know, make as much noise as you can before you go.
- Oh, all right. - Yes.
- Work.
- Of your many movie roles,
were there any that you had to like fight
tooth and nail for?
- How much time do you have?
(laughing)
A lot of them.
I will give you some tea.
- Yeah.
- I was the ninth choice for Devil Wears Prada.
- No way!
- Oh my God!
- But, I got it, hang in there never give up!
- Yes!
- Work diva, work diva.
- That's like actually so inspiring.
- Denali and I are a pair in this.
She lost the audition for Foxy.
I don't want her to feel defeated.
If one of us messes up,
that's gonna throw both of us off.
Asking for a friend,
What do you do when you don't get the role
that you want so badly?
- If you don't get the role you want,
you steal the show anyway.
- Period!
(cheering)
- Just dig deep, find your funny
and make sure that, that you're the one that they remember.
- And what is your advice on trying to
put on an accent?
So I'm supposed to be Russian lady.
- Sometimes people think of accents
in terms of a nationality,
but you have to remember,
you're not playing an accent, you're playing a person.
So if you can find a person
that reminds you of your character,
who has the same accent, that's gonna make it seem
a lot more fun and a lot more believable.
Do you know any Russian ladies?
- I have a figure skating background,
so they were all around me all the time.
Duh, like, why didn't I think of that before?
- Can you do an axle, like, can you spin or something?
- Absolutely, you want to see?
- I, yes.
- Okay, here we go. - Oh my God.
(cheering)
- Work diva!
- Thank you.
My little shady remark turned
into a light at the end of the tunnel
and it worked and Denali's ready to win this (beep).
- We, we really look up to your work a lot.
- Oh, thank you!
- And I know that you're a big fan of our drag
and our careers too.
What attracts you to the drag art form?
- I love drag
because it's a transgressive act of joy
and I think when you look at what Ru has done for the world,
she's made it a place where the lane of what is being okay
is so much wider
and the more grounded in love we are
in acceptance of each other, the better we are
and the more human we are.
(cheering) (clapping)
Also, I just have to say, I gagged for the fact
and like, can we just.
(laughing)
I love the wit, and I love puns,
and I love boob jokes and tough jokes and all of that, so,
(laughing)
so it works for me on that level too.
(laughing)
Thank you so much for letting me stop by The Werk Room.
This was so exciting.
- Thank you!
- Good luck in the Rusical and
oh, one last thing,
Don't forget to have fun.
(cheering)
(laughing)
- Oh my God.
- Bye!
