Hi
I'm Miriam Shor and I'm here at Playbill to talk about season six of Younger. Yes
Season six. I've killed every other show, but not this one
So in the first episode of season 6 of Younger, Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, and me, Miriam Shor, we sing 9 to 5 at Marie's Crisis
Because that's how you solve all problems I think. Sing a little Dolly Parton. Problem solved.
Tumble out of bed and stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition,
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin, folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
And also, it just fulfilled a dream of mine of getting to channel Lily Tomlin who is my spirit animal
Just I love 9 to 5 the movie I love that song I think it's a perfect song
And so it was kind of a dream come true, but also the necklace I'm wearing
It's giant and I believe it actually reached my navel
So that was a positive in that scene. Oh have I been to Marie's crisis? Yes, but the-
I have, yes
Before any of you were born, but I
Was told by the- we were told by the piano player there- because Darren Star was like "Let's go it'll be fun"
"We'll just show up, we'll sing" and the piano player was like
" I don't think that's a good idea because I think if you all show up here, it'll just- the whole place of burst into flame.
I was like "oh"
"Well, I kind of want to see that"
I'm not gonna guarantee
I don't think it would burst into flame if just I showed up but certainly if Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff showed up
Then it might burst into flame.
Diana's romantic life in season six. So complicated. She's found love with Enzo the plumber
But she's conflicted because it doesn't feel like that's who she was supposed to-and it feels like that's who she's supposed to end
up with but it doesn't seem like that to her. And so she's sort of still grappling with that and
it's a bit of a rocky road, but they- Enzo is around a lot in season six and
Yeah, the storytelling is pretty great. I really like where it goes. It's interesting for Diana Trout in her career
I think she's feeling a little threatened by this idea that, you know,
It's true! It's not even just in our show, but I think that experience
Isn't given a lot of value
In the workplace these days
And we love youth and we love new things - the new shiny things to the point where we'll throw
The old things out simply because they've been around for a while when in fact there might be something
Important and there, you know to still get from them
So I feel like she might be feeling a little bit like I don't know
I don't know if Millennials value what I have to offer which is a lot so she's feeling a little at first like
I'm not sure I can make this work
I'm not sure if this is gonna work out for me. I know I'll land on my feet
I just don't know if it'll still be here. So I mean she's gonna work through that but then she's like
(sings 9 to 5) and everything's fine.
First of all, the Good Christian Bitches the Musical... yes, should happen, should be on Broadway
Kristin Chenoweth should always be on Broadway. Even if there's not a show
She could just turn, you know the stage into her apartment and just be like "Hi y'all. How you doing? I'm Kristin Chenoweth.
I live on Broadway. Broadway doesn't feel like- it feels like a sundae without the whipped cream. That's just ice cream. That's not a sundae
Broadway that's just Broadway. That's not Broadway
Without Kristin Chenoweth on Broadway. That's how I feel about her. I love her. I
I don't know if I'll ever be on Broadway. I mean I got some years left in me and Broadway's a very welcoming place
To women of any age I feel like more so than any other part of the entertainment industry
So I love the theatre and I'm never gonna say goodbye to that
but I have almost been on Broadway several times and both times one with
Assassins, I was cast in Assassins
But I was- I had done a TV pilot and it had gotten picked up and so I couldn't do it
I couldn't do Assassins and that broke my heart to play Squeaky- this was years ago, and that really broke my heart
And also because Joe Mantello was directing
And then I was...so yeah, I was in Sweat at the Public Theater
Lynn Nottage's brilliant play
directed by Kate Whoriskey. Pulitzer Prize winner but she has two now. Whatevs. You know, you need the pair
That moved to Broadway and because Younger was happening, I couldn't move to Broadway with it
So there's twice that I missed out on being on Broadway
But so I'm- kind of think it's gotta happen sometime
(like Liza Minnelli) Happen sometime
That just came to me. That sounds like a song. I should write it. And have Liza Minnelli sing it.
