I saw the show last night and it was INCREDIBLE. The catharsis and tears that both Helen and Darren refer to are real and so important for people to experience.

Darren is such a supporter! He’s always praising Helen and letting her shine! I’m so happy the show has had amazing reviews! I hope more people keep going to see it because they deserve all the success! Darren is SO talented and such an amazing soul! Congrats guys!

That rapid-fire repartee between Seth and Darren was great (5:42): 'when you get a leaf in the door' to 'he's still pretty green TBH'. LOL. 😂

I have seen 15 unique broadway shows this year including some mass favorites like Hamilton and Wicked. The top two shows on Broadway right now, unequivocally, are Hadestown and Maybe Happy Ending

@Jasmine-Mullally Ай бұрын

this is THE correct answer!!!! :)

@yathindrak6434 Ай бұрын

I am so happy to read this. I have only ever seen three Broadway shows so far, and two of them are your favorites - Hadestown and Maybe Happy Ending. I am really fortunate to have seen these two masterpieces... Eagerly waiting for my next New York trip to watch some more! NY offers Broadway and good food - enough to cheer anyone up and keep them happy for a long time after that.

I feel like I discovered this show. Lol. I have been listening to the Korean soundtrack of it for ages, and fell in love with it. So happy it's doing so well. I hope all you lucky Americans go and see it while us Scottish people eagerly await a UK transfer some day. Such a beautiful show ❤

Maybe Happy Ending is a GREAT show with fantastic performances by the whole cast (and orchestra!). You’ll laugh, cry and hum the music on the way out of the theatre!

Not related to this clip, I saw that Karen Chee had a writing credit for an episope of A Man on the Inside. I hope you'll have her on to talk about this, other projects she's involved in, and even do a throwback to "What does Karen know. She is a lot of fun to listen to. Has a fun dynamic with Seth!

Why do some parts of the interview have a recorded-on-the-vcr filter? 😅

@movingforwarddespiteeverything Ай бұрын

That’s not a filter, it is the camera lens’ reaction to the pattern on Darrren’s suit - it is called the Moire Effect, I believe. I’m surprised his clothing person (I assume he has one) allowed him to wear that suit.

@jbiancajackson4580 Ай бұрын

@movingforwardLDTH The costumer on Days of Our Lives apparently is completely unfamiliar with this phenomenon, because there are a couple of characters who natty dressers, but frequently have this problem with their shirts, ties and coats.

I skim comments before watching videos so I was expecting to see a man talking over a woman and instead I saw this man throwing the questions to her over and over again and singing her praises every other question. Did we watch the same clip???

@@flowerweak darren is always so gratious towards Helen and showering her with compliments, and always letting her have her light during their promo together.
