163
00:08:34,264 --> 00:08:35,890

164
00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:37,392

-[Nejat] You're in a band?

165
00:08:37,475 --> 00:08:39,310
Yeah, my band goes on tour.
You know, we do a concert.

166
00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:41,354

-It's me and my band.

167

-Me. Yeah.
-[Nejat] It's you.

168
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:44,441
-Awesome. I did not know that.
-Yeah. I'm at The Garden.

169
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:45,525
-That's what this tour is.
-Yeah.

170
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:46,901
[Nejat] You're at The Garden.
Get outta here.

171
00:08:46,985 --> 00:08:49,112
-Cool. What's the name of your band?
-Yeah. So…

172
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:51,364

-[Nejat] Okay. [laughs]

174

-[Nejat] Awesome. I love it.
-Um...

175
00:08:55,952 --> 00:08:58,621
-So I'm out with Josh Groban, actually…
-[Nejat] Great.

176
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:01,374
…on tour. We're doing, like,
a splitting the bill kind of thing.

177
00:09:01,458 --> 00:09:03,084
[Nejat] I should know who that is,
but I don't.

178
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:04,878
-You don't know who Josh Groban is?
-Sorry, Josh.

179
00:09:04,961 --> 00:09:05,962
Sorry, Josh.

180
00:09:06,046 --> 00:09:08,506
[Nejat] Not a great cycle to start.

181
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:11,384
[Menzel] Right. Maybe it's 'cause
I'm just all over the place.

182
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:16,765
[Nejat] Could be, but it's also
not uncommon in this age bracket.

You're sweet. I love your text
that you sent me. Thank you.

186
00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:28,485
[Menzel] And I didn't think
I wanted to have a baby.

187
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:32,781
But then, Aaron has been
the most amazing man to my son,

188
00:09:33,615 --> 00:09:34,949
who has a wonderful dad,

189
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:39,120
but has found a way to have his own
incredible relationship with Walker.

200
00:10:07,732 --> 00:10:10,402
We met in <i>Rent</i>.
We were both in the original cast.

201
00:10:10,485 --> 00:10:14,489
That was my very first professional job.

[Walker] Mama, is this gonna be
a comedy/documentary?

218
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:57,240
[Menzel] Yes, it's going to be very funny

Hey, sure. Come on in. It's a mess.

224
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:27,604
What's going through my head is my--
I'm worried about my son's ear. Honestly.

225
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:30,231
In like, five minutes' time
of getting in this room,

226
00:11:30,315 --> 00:11:34,903
he went to scare Geo and fell back
and hit his back, like, on the corner.

227
00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:35,987
It was bleeding,

228
00:11:36,071 --> 00:11:40,408
but all I saw was like, my son's, like,
fat ear with like, blood coming down.

229
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:42,786
What's the schedule?

230
00:11:42,869 --> 00:11:44,412
-Eight o'clock show?
-[assistant] Mm-hmm.

231
00:11:44,496 --> 00:11:46,331
Did you tell 'em that my
one costume's already ripped?

232
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:47,624
[interviewer] Good camera shot.

233
00:11:47,707 --> 00:11:50,710
In theater, you practice changes

234
00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:54,422
so that you can choreograph them
and get them down.

235
00:11:54,506 --> 00:11:56,049
Like,
you can get them down in nine seconds.

236
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:57,550
You're like, boots, belt, out.

237
00:11:57,634 --> 00:12:00,053
This person, this person, boom.
In, go onstage.

238
00:12:00,136 --> 00:12:03,098
So, we were choreographing it in my house,
and we pick--

239
00:12:03,181 --> 00:12:05,517
We don't know if it ripped before
the change or not,

240
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,437
But one of the other costumes was already
ripped before we ever left New York.

241
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:12,565
So, it's being FedExed here,
and it ripped right up the ass.

242
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:17,737
Yes.

243
00:12:19,197 --> 00:12:20,198

00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:31,533
But January and February
are the worst months for weddings

324
00:16:31,616 --> 00:16:34,619
'cause it's cold, and nobody gets married
in January and February.

325
00:16:34,703 --> 00:16:37,122
So I just thought I need a job.

326
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:39,708
So, I went in for this little
Off-Broadway show.

[Menzel] But they wouldn't let me.

437
00:22:06,993 --> 00:22:10,163
And then my parents split up,
and my life turned upside down.

438
00:22:10,246 --> 00:22:12,332
So this is like a catering hall.

439
00:22:12,415 --> 00:22:15,794
Like a lot of people come here
and they get married or have parties.

440
00:22:15,877 --> 00:22:18,880
When I was 15, on Thanksgiving morning,

441
00:22:18,963 --> 00:22:22,676
my parents brought my sister and I
down to the kitchen table

442
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:24,761
and they told us they were separating.

443
00:22:26,137 --> 00:22:28,890
And that they were gonna cancel
all the guests that were coming over,

444
00:22:28,973 --> 00:22:30,892
our extended family, and, um…

445
00:22:33,812 --> 00:22:36,356
That we're gonna salvage the day, though,

446
00:22:36,439 --> 00:22:40,443
because in an effort
to show my sister and I that we would…

447
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:46,908
that it would always be amicable
and that we'd still be a family,

448
00:22:47,617 --> 00:22:50,912
we wanted-- they wanted
to still go to dinner, Thanksgiving.

449
00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:53,665
And my sister and I are like crying
up in our rooms.

450
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:58,712
And so my mom throws
the mashed potatoes down the drain

451
00:22:58,795 --> 00:23:01,047
and the turkey in the garbage,

452
00:23:01,131 --> 00:23:04,342
and makes a reservation
to come here and sit in public.

453
00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:05,844
[Stuart] <i>Hey, honey. How are you doing?</i>

454
00:23:05,927 --> 00:23:07,470
Good. Guess where I am right now?

455
00:23:07,554 --> 00:23:08,930
<i>Uh, let me see…</i>

456
00:23:09,014 --> 00:23:12,767
I'm at the Fox Hollow Inn.
On Jericho Turnpike.

457
00:23:12,851 --> 00:23:15,854
[Stuart laughing]

458
00:23:16,938 --> 00:23:19,441
-<i>Are you really?</i>
-Does this look familiar to you?

459
00:23:20,734 --> 00:23:23,069
Does it bring back memories?

460
00:23:23,153 --> 00:23:25,613
Why do you think you guys picked
Thanksgiving morning

461
00:23:25,697 --> 00:23:26,990
to just break it to us?

462
00:23:27,073 --> 00:23:28,742
<i>Well, honey, I have--</i>

463
00:23:28,825 --> 00:23:31,036
[person on phone] <i>You told your daughter</i>
<i>on Thanksgiving morning?</i>

464
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,120
-[Stuart] <i>Yes, I know.</i>
-Yeah.

465
00:23:32,203 --> 00:23:34,247
Literally Thanksgiving morning.
Like, wouldn't you tell--

466
00:23:34,330 --> 00:23:36,708
Wouldn't you and Mommy be like,
"Let's wait till tomorrow.

467
00:23:36,791 --> 00:23:38,793
We can hold it in.
We've waited this long"?

468
00:23:40,754 --> 00:23:43,048
[Stuart] <i>Honey,</i>
<i>I-- I don't actually remember.</i>

469
00:23:43,131 --> 00:23:45,508
<i>I actually have never been back</i>
<i>to that place.</i>

470
00:23:45,592 --> 00:23:47,594
But then, you know,
then I came here all the time

471
00:23:47,677 --> 00:23:49,304
and had gigs here all the time.

472
00:23:49,387 --> 00:23:51,097
-I'd sing at bar mitzvahs and weddings…
-<i>Well--</i>

473
00:23:51,181 --> 00:23:53,224
…and I had to be reminded
of this horrible day

474
00:23:53,308 --> 00:23:55,393
every time I came here
to make a buck and sing.

475
00:23:55,477 --> 00:24:00,065
<i>Well, you could have taken-- you could've</i>
<i>taken up a different occupation.</i>

[both laughing]

477
00:24:02,317 --> 00:24:03,902
[Menzel] During these tough times,

478
00:24:03,985 --> 00:24:07,405
my younger sister, Cara, and I,
we got really close.

479
00:24:07,489 --> 00:24:10,825
She always was really protective of me
but I think even then,

480
00:24:10,909 --> 00:24:14,746
when she kind of felt that our world was
shaking, was kind of falling apart,

481
00:24:14,829 --> 00:24:18,249
then she was even more protective
in making sure I was okay.

482
00:24:18,333 --> 00:24:20,168

I feel like I have to prove myself.

Maybe that's what's the underlying tone,
you know, wanting to be accepted.

659
00:33:48,987 --> 00:33:51,906
It's one thing about me,
maybe it's the pessimist,

660
00:33:52,574 --> 00:33:55,035
but I never celebrate too long.

661
00:33:55,118 --> 00:33:57,287
Yeah, it's probably because…

662
00:34:00,165 --> 00:34:01,374
when your parents divorce,

663
00:34:01,458 --> 00:34:04,419
and you don't expect
that they would ever get divorced,

664
00:34:04,502 --> 00:34:07,505
I think that that's changed
the way that I see my whole life.

665
00:34:07,589 --> 00:34:09,424
'Cause you never know.
Nothing is ever what it seems.

666
00:34:09,507 --> 00:34:12,719
So, like, sure,
this show, <i>Rent</i>, seemed cool

667
00:34:12,802 --> 00:34:15,638
and it seemed like something
really special, but you never know.

668
00:34:15,722 --> 00:34:17,432
It could just end tomorrow, or…

669
00:34:17,515 --> 00:34:20,477
You get this big Broadway show,
you get an agent.

670
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,521
You get a record deal
that I've been trying to get.

671
00:34:23,605 --> 00:34:25,565
I had some money, you know?

672
00:34:27,317 --> 00:34:28,943
So, you think it's happening.

673
00:34:29,819 --> 00:34:33,990
Then after my record deal, and the album
came out, and it didn't do anything.

674
00:34:34,074 --> 00:34:37,827
Literally, two people would be at each bar
we showed up at. I was like,

675
00:34:37,911 --> 00:34:40,663
"I have a big album coming out
and I just came out of this hit show.

676
00:34:40,747 --> 00:34:41,998
Where are all the people?"

677
00:34:42,082 --> 00:34:46,544
And then I got dropped, and then
the momentum from <i>Rent</i> was gone.

678
00:34:46,628 --> 00:34:50,548
I sold no records.
I went into obscurity for a couple years.

679
00:34:50,632 --> 00:34:52,884
I-I-- I've had a lot of highs and lows,

680
00:34:52,967 --> 00:34:56,888
so you start to realize how fleeting
all this stuff can be, and how you just--

681
00:34:56,971 --> 00:34:58,890
When it comes, you gotta--
you gotta grasp it.

682
00:34:58,973 --> 00:35:01,142
This was my first single.
It's called "Minuet."

683
00:35:01,226 --> 00:35:03,812
The single was sixth most added
on the radio

684
00:35:03,895 --> 00:35:05,522
of the first week it came out.

685
00:35:05,605 --> 00:35:08,316
-[crowd cheering]
-It was between Madonna's "Ray of Light"

686
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,401
and some Babyface song.

687
00:35:09,484 --> 00:35:10,527
I don't remember what it was.

688
00:35:11,111 --> 00:35:14,406
And I just thought, you know,
I had it all figured out.

689
00:35:14,489 --> 00:35:17,951
I had, like, the rock star fantasy
in my head. I just knew.

690
00:35:18,034 --> 00:35:22,455
I just knew, the next day, they were gonna
be flying me back to New York in a jet.

691
00:35:22,539 --> 00:35:24,124
Steven Meisel was gonna be waiting there

692
00:35:24,207 --> 00:35:26,418
to take my picture
for the cover of <i>Rolling Stone</i>.

693
00:35:26,501 --> 00:35:29,045
Next thing you know,
I'd be whisked off in a limousine

694
00:35:29,129 --> 00:35:32,215
to where I'd be opening
at Madison Square Garden.

695
00:35:32,882 --> 00:35:36,386
And I'd get there, and I'm just, like,
walking towards the light.

696
00:35:36,469 --> 00:35:37,470
And I hear, like…

697
00:35:39,556 --> 00:35:43,476
-They're waiting for me. "Idina! Idina!"

they called it "Minute" by Idina Mensel.

703
00:36:02,370 --> 00:36:04,164
I had to just kinda start all over again.

feels wrong as a mom, so…

Yeah. It's the very first show I ever got.

1188
01:01:42,118 --> 01:01:43,578
My first big break.

1189
01:01:44,329 --> 01:01:46,748
Back in New York City down in the Village.

1190
01:01:48,166 --> 01:01:50,752
Ah, and it changed my life, it really did.

1191
01:01:52,379 --> 01:01:53,505
Just, uh…

1192
01:01:56,091 --> 01:02:00,595
finally someone seeing something
in me and hiring me and believing in me.

1193
01:02:00,679 --> 01:02:04,015
And that man was Jonathan Larson,
who was the composer of <i>Rent</i>.

1194
01:02:04,099 --> 01:02:08,103
[applause]

1195
01:02:08,186 --> 01:02:09,979
He wrote a show all about--

1196
01:02:11,064 --> 01:02:12,399
Well, really love.

1197
01:02:13,900 --> 01:02:16,778
About loving whoever the hell you want.

1198
01:02:16,861 --> 01:02:20,532
And, um, embracing the moment,
not taking things for granted,

1199
01:02:21,241 --> 01:02:23,076
not taking people for granted.

1200
01:02:25,245 --> 01:02:31,918
Trying to stay present, you know, and live
every day as though it's our last.

1201
01:02:34,045 --> 01:02:36,881
And, uh, he didn't--
he didn't stay with us very long.

1202
01:02:36,965 --> 01:02:39,426
We lost him very early on in our process.

1203
01:02:40,010 --> 01:02:42,012
[Menzel sighs] The night of our first--

1204
01:02:42,595 --> 01:02:45,932
It was supposed to be your first audience.
The night of our first audience.

1205
01:02:46,016 --> 01:02:49,561
We were supposed to show up
at around three o'clock at the theater,

1206
01:02:49,644 --> 01:02:53,148
and we got a call and told us
to come a little bit later,

1207
01:02:53,231 --> 01:02:58,486
that Jonathan Larson had passed away on--
in his kitchen, in his apartment downtown.

1208
01:03:01,197 --> 01:03:02,198
So, um…

1209
01:03:03,783 --> 01:03:04,951
that was just crazy.

1210
01:03:05,994 --> 01:03:10,540
We dedicate this opening night and every
performance to our friend Jonathan Larson.

1211
01:03:11,166 --> 01:03:14,044
[Menzel] And it became this mission
for everyone involved to--

1212
01:03:14,127 --> 01:03:16,046
It was more than just,
"Wow, we got our first Broadway show."

1213
01:03:16,129 --> 01:03:19,424
It was like now we had a mission
to get forth this man's music

1214
01:03:19,507 --> 01:03:22,093
and his love and his message and, um…

1215
01:03:22,177 --> 01:03:23,178
[clears throat]

1216
01:03:23,261 --> 01:03:26,348
He was a struggling artist
just like the rest of us.

1217
01:03:26,431 --> 01:03:28,808
So everything's always been
so bittersweet about that

1218
01:03:28,892 --> 01:03:33,980
because he never got to enjoy

1219
01:03:34,064 --> 01:03:37,233
all of the accolades

1220
01:03:39,194 --> 01:03:44,532
and the love that everybody was sending
back our way through that show.

1221
01:03:44,616 --> 01:03:49,245
Till-- Till now-- Till tomorrow night,
you know, to every concert that I ever do.

It's like it's--

1223
01:03:50,872 --> 01:03:55,585
Thanks to him, like, I have fans from
23 years ago that've grown up with me.

That's how, like, deep it goes.

1226

[sighs] Jonathan Larson,

1238
01:04:45,552 --> 01:04:48,513
he wrote this show
about tolerance and love…

1239
01:04:51,016 --> 01:04:53,810
combating hatred with love.

1240

a conduit for what's going on in our lives

1241

and what's going on in the world.

after the Synagogue shooting.

[Menzel] So it's towards the end
of the tour, we're playing in DC,

1622
01:27:13,983 --> 01:27:16,945
and we hear a high school there was
putting on their own production of <i>Rent</i>.

1623
01:27:17,028 --> 01:27:18,905
We're going to surprise this class.

-Such a thrill--

1632
01:27:50,061 --> 01:27:51,396
[Menzel] Hi, guys.

1633
01:27:55,316 --> 01:27:56,651
I love your hair.

1634
01:27:57,527 --> 01:27:59,112
[student] One of the big messages
of the show

1635
01:27:59,195 --> 01:28:01,823
is to live in the moment
and not take anything for granted.

1636
01:28:01,906 --> 01:28:04,409
Do you think that you took that
into your own life?

1637
01:28:04,492 --> 01:28:06,369
I think I do. Yeah.

1638
01:28:06,453 --> 01:28:08,705
I forget all the time, obviously.

1639
01:28:08,788 --> 01:28:11,041
I have my own anxiety

1640
01:28:11,124 --> 01:28:15,962
and, um, my own neuroses
and fears and nerves,

1641
01:28:16,046 --> 01:28:18,048
and all those things
that I contend with still.

1642
01:28:18,131 --> 01:28:21,051
At your age, I was just, like,
let me at-- Let me at it.

1643
01:28:21,134 --> 01:28:22,135
I can wow anybody.

1644
01:28:22,218 --> 01:28:25,305
As I got older,
maybe more people are looking at me.

1645
01:28:25,388 --> 01:28:30,560
Sometimes it makes me get a little bit
more, um, introverted and insecure.

1646
01:28:30,643 --> 01:28:35,148
But being a mom and a parent
helps me also stay in the moment.

1647
01:28:35,231 --> 01:28:40,737
Because if I'm gonna think too much about
all the other superficial things in life,

1648
01:28:40,820 --> 01:28:42,739
I'll-- I have to worry about my child,
you know?

1649
01:28:42,822 --> 01:28:44,532
And be here. Right now.

1650
01:28:44,616 --> 01:28:48,995
I think that everyone tries to survive
in this world and make their way.

1651
01:28:49,079 --> 01:28:50,997
We all find different ways to do that,

1652
01:28:51,081 --> 01:28:54,334
and some of us feel like
we have to take the safer path,

1653
01:28:55,543 --> 01:28:57,712
and other people feel
a bit more comfortable
