>> PLEASE WELCOME THE OUTRAGEOUSLY TALENTED SARA
BAREILLES, EVERYBODY.
THERE SHE IS, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE AMAZING REVIEWS THAT YOUR TV SHOW IS
GETTING.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING, ARE YOU SURPRISED BY THE REACTION.
>> OH MY GOSH, OUT OF THIS WORLD.
COMPLETELY BEYOND WILDEST IMAGINATION.
I THINK WE MADE THIS SHOW AND IT WAS SO HARD TO MAKE IT WITH THE
MIDDLE OF COVID.
SO WE WERE ALL, WE ALL KNEW WE WERE DOING SOMETHING THAT WAS
VERY PRECIOUS BECAUSE EVERYONE HAD BEEN SITTING AT HOME AND NOT
ALLOWED TO WORK.
SO WE WERE JUST SO GRATEFUL TO BE ON THE SET EVERY DAY.
AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF US REALLY COULD HAVE IMAGINED THAT
THAT WOULD ACTUALLY TRANSLATE OUT INTO THE WORLD AND HAVE
PEOPLE LOVE IT AS MUCH AS WE DID.
BUT WE JUST HAD THE BEST TIME AND I'M ON CLOUD NINE ABOUT THE
WHOLE THING.
>> NOW ANYONE WHO HASN'T CAUGHT UP WITH THE SHOW YET, TELL THEM
WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> SO I PLAY DAWN STELANO AND THIS SHOW IS CENTERED AROUND A
GIRL GROUP FROM THE '90S WHO ARE ESSENTIALLY GETTING A SECOND
CHANCE.
THEY HAD THEIR MOMENT IN THE SUN AND THEN SORT OF WENT ON TO LIVE
THEIR LIVES AND THEY'RE ALL SORT OF LIVING INSIDE THE CHOICES THE
THEY MADE.
AND THEY GET-- BY A RAPPER WHOIVE GOES THEM A SECOND SHOT
AND THEY DECIDE TO GO FOR IT AND RECLAIM THE NARRATIVE OF THEIR
EARLIER TIME IN THE SUN AND GIVE IT A SECOND SHOT.
>> James: DO YOU THINK THERE WILL EVER BE A WORLD WHERE WE
WILL SEE GIRLS DDZ 5EVA GENERALLY BECOME A REAL BAND, GO
OUT-- GIRLS5EVA BECOME A REAL BAND, GO OUT ON TOUR.
>> I WOULD LOVE IT.
I WOULD LOVE IT WE WERE JOKING ABOUT IT ON SET.
I WAS LIKE I WILL GO ON TOUR AND WE CAN OPEN FOR ME.
>> James: OH MY GOD, THAT WOULD BE SENSATIONAL.
>> WE KIND OF CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF EACH OTHER IT SAY REAL LOVE
FEST, A SLIGHTLY SICKENING.
BUT WE REALLY DO ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANIES SO MUCH.
SO I THINK THERE IS A WORLD WHERE WE COULD DESIGN A REALLY
FUN LIVE SHOW THAT LIKE FANS WOULD HAVE-- BECAUSE I KNOW WE
WOULD LOVE IT.
>> James: YOU ARE RELEASING A NEW LIVE ALBUM TOMORROW WHICH IS
CALLED AMIDST THE CHAOS LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL.
NOW MAY 2021, IS CIRCLED ON YOUR CALENDER IS THE MONTH SARA
BAREILLES IS TBG TO CONQUER THE WORLD OF COMEDY AND MUSES UK, IS
THAT WHAT HAPPENS?
>> YES, THIS IS BY GRAND DESIGN, HAVE I BEEN WORKING FOR THIS
SINCE I WAS 11.
SO ALMOST FIVE YEARS, IT'S CRAZY.
YEAH, I DON'T-- THIS JUST ALL, WITH THIS RECORD WAS RECORDED AT
THE END OF, YOU KNOW, 2019 AND I HAD EVERY INTENTION OF RELEASING
THIS LAST YEAR.
AND THEN OF COURSE LAST YEAR HAPPENED AND IT GOT PUSHED AND I
FEEL SO MUCH RELIEF NOW THAT WE ARE ON THE PRESS I PIS OF LIVE
MUSIC COMING BACK TO LIFE AND EVERYBODY BEING ABLE TO BE IN AN
AUDIENCE TOGETHER.
>> James: ARE THE POLICE IN NEW YORK OR HERE IN THE STUD
WRO.
>> I THINK SARA IS ABOUT TO BE ARRESTED.
>> James: IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO TELL ABOUT WHY THE
POLICE ARE COMING-- BUT I LOVE THAT YOU-- I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE
DONE THIS LIVE ALBUM, I REALLY, REALLY DO, YOU KNOW WHAT A FAN
OF YOURS I AM, AND YOU PLAYED A GIG EARLIER IN MONTH, AN EMPTY
HOLLYWOOD BOWL, WHAT WAS THAT LIKE.
>> I DID NOT KNOW HOW SOMBER THAT WAS GOING TO FEEL T WAS SO
WILD TO BE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL, WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A
CATHEDRAL OF MUSIC.
BUT WITHOUT THE AUDIENCE, IT IS KIND OF TERRIBLE.
YOU GET TO THE END OF THE SONG AND ARE YOU LIKE-- ANYBODY?
ANYBODY OUT THERE?
ANYONE, NO.
OKAY.
>> I'M WELL AWARE OF THAT FEELING.
SCWZ NOW AFTER THE BREAK YOU ARE PERFORMING A SONG FROM THAT
NIGHT CALLED I CHOOSE YOU.
AND WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE THIS SONG?
>> THIS SONG ACTUALLY WAS INSPIRED BY THIS GUY LIKE A FAN
WHO CAME TO A MEET AND GREET AFTER A SHOW.
AND HE WAITED IN LINE TO MEET ME, WE WERE TAKING PICTURES
TOGETHER.
HE SAID MY WIFE AND I LOVE YOUR MUSIC SO MUCH.
ARE YOU JUST OUR FAVORITE ARTIST.
AND WE REALLY WANT, WE WANTED TO HAVE A SONG OF YOURS AT OUR
WEDDING BUT EVERYTHING YOU WRITE IS SO DE PRESSING.
>> James: WOW.
>> I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO CALL MY THERPIST ABOUT THIS.
AND I SORT OF, THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN IN SPIELT, IN SPITE THIS
BLEEP BLEEP.
SO I WAS RIGHT SURE, I WILL WRITE A LOVE SONG, IT SEEMS TO
BE A THEME IN MY LIFE.
>> James: I'M SO THRILLED YOU DID.
STICK AROUND, EVERYBODY, BECAUSE SARA BAREILLES ES WILL BE
RIGHT HERE PERFORMING, DON'T GO ANYWHERE.
