In America, every child of immigrants has an assimilation story, but not all of them involve being actors in a student adaptation of the hit musical Frozen. In New York City's Chinatown, the elementary school theater club of PS 124 prepares to stage a production of Frozen Kids. As these Asian American students gear up and rehearse for their big musical production with nervous excitement, they also contend with cultural stereotypes, family expectations, post-graduation uncertainties and the pressures that come with being young and bi-cultural. Through rehearsals and time behind the scenes, the students unveil their dilemmas with honesty, humor and insight. CURTAIN UP! shares a kids-eye view of identity, culture and the heartbreaks that come with growing up.

Highly Recommended "This joyful production works as both entertainment for adults and youthful audiences and potential discussion material about the role of arts in schools, diversity, inclusion, and family expectations."
Educational Media Reviews Online (EMRO) | Brandon West, Social Sciences Librarian, State University of New York at Geneseo
"There is plenty of depth to this whimsical documentary and it creates opportunities for discussion about the role of arts in education and disparities faced by marginalized communities. In addition to general viewing, the film would be useful in supporting the curriculum of education and diversity programs. These reasons make it a great addition to library collections."
Asian CineVision
“These kids aren’t shown to the viewers as 'others' or 'outliers,' they are shown as kids, who also happen to be Asian American ... For fellow Asian Americans, the film acts as a form of representation, for others an insight into the struggles that immigrants and minorities face every day ... Hui Tong and Kelly Ng build a documentary that manages to uplift an oft-forgotten group while also showing us that being a kid is complicated, even if it doesn’t always seem that way.”
Buttered Popcorn Movies
“Even in one of the strongest years for the documentary genre of all time, Curtain Up! stands out as one of the freshest and enjoyable documentaries of the year. Not only does the film have the fun and charisma to be one of the funniest films of the year, but the depth and nuance enhance the material, pushing the feature to the next level. This is an expertly crafted and brutally honest film that deserves to be seen by as many as possible.”
Film Threat
“The underlying message is the importance of the arts in education across the board ... A job like this takes patience, long hours, and not much of an impact on the old salary. The rewards, though, are priceless ... Remove the message of school funding of the arts and strict cultural expectations, and the joy of Curtain Up! is watching kids put on a musical. These students are here to have fun and couldn’t care less about the political and familial drama ...Tong and Ng weave together a fun documentary and puts the spotlight on a few of the kids. "
South China Morning Post
"The film Curtain Up! shows how they deal with being pulled in different directions by family and society, and how acting helps them overcome a certain cultural mindset."

- [Woman] Students from PS
124 Theater Club in New York
00:00:25.191 --> 00:00:26.326
won National Honors
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:27.794
and earned recognition
00:00:27.827 --> 00:00:31.664
at the 2019 Junior

[cheering]
00:00:39.539 --> 00:00:41.141
- [Woman 2] You\'re
the only Asian group,
00:00:41.174 --> 00:00:42.809
you\'re the youngest group,
00:00:42.842 --> 00:00:45.311
and the only group
from New York.
00:00:45.345 --> 00:00:47.647
We were very special.
00:00:47.747 --> 00:00:50.683
[cheering]
00:01:16.476 --> 00:01:17.710
- Back in the old days,
00:01:17.744 --> 00:01:18.244
all this would happen,
00:01:18.278 --> 00:01:21.581
white, black, wall.
00:01:21.614 --> 00:01:22.615
Segregation!
00:01:25.885 --> 00:01:27.754
- We will be bridges.
00:01:32.425 --> 00:01:34.661
- [Mr. Olsen] Our group was
one of the first schools
00:01:34.694 --> 00:01:37.397
to be invited to do a
pilot of Frozen Kids,
00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:39.299
a 30 minute adaptation of Frozen
00:01:39.332 --> 00:01:41.734
for the elementary school age.
00:01:42.669 --> 00:01:45.205
[music]
00:02:44.898 --> 00:02:46.666
- I know a lot of
you are looking at
00:02:46.699 --> 00:02:48.268
the script right now,
00:02:48.301 --> 00:02:49.435
right?
00:02:49.469 --> 00:02:52.405
And seeing which character
you might wanna try out for.
00:02:52.438 --> 00:02:55.742
It\'s a great opportunity,
we\'re doing Frozen Kids,
00:02:55.775 --> 00:02:58.778
and I can\'t wait to
see what happens.
00:02:59.979 --> 00:03:04.684
- Can a boy be a girl\'s part
and a girl\'s part be a boy?
00:03:04.717 --> 00:03:05.552
- [Boys] Please!
00:03:05.585 --> 00:03:06.953
- I wanna be Elsa.
00:03:08.855 --> 00:03:09.522
- [Boy] Good job.
00:03:09.556 --> 00:03:11.558
- Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Hans,
00:03:11.591 --> 00:03:15.762
all those parts are
going to be boy or girl.
00:03:15.795 --> 00:03:18.431
However, Olaf, we\'re discussing
00:03:19.499 --> 00:03:21.334
will probably be
a gender neutral.
00:03:21.367 --> 00:03:23.736
Sven will be a gender neutral.
00:03:25.672 --> 00:03:27.707
- Listen to the
whole song on your CD
00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:28.908
and then we\'ll tell
you which parts
00:03:28.942 --> 00:03:31.911
that you\'re gonna be
singing in front of us.
00:03:31.945 --> 00:03:34.280
For Elsa, let it go.
00:03:34.314 --> 00:03:35.014
- [Students] Yes!
00:03:35.048 --> 00:03:35.882
- Hans, who\'s Hans?
00:03:35.915 --> 00:03:36.583
What\'s Hans?
00:03:36.616 --> 00:03:38.985
- [Hannah] For Olaf, in summer.
00:03:42.422 --> 00:03:43.723
If you are auditioning
for Kristoff...
00:03:43.756 --> 00:03:44.591
- That\'s me.
00:03:44.624 --> 00:03:45.692
- [Hannah] Page 23.
00:03:45.725 --> 00:03:46.759
- 23 to what?
00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:48.428
- [Hannah] But
you\'re gonna start
00:03:48.461 --> 00:03:49.662
somewhere in the middle of 23.
00:03:49.696 --> 00:03:50.797
- Okay.
00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:52.932
I like everything about acting.
00:03:52.966 --> 00:03:54.267
You know how it happened?
00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:58.271
Third grade, I was
in a spring show?
00:03:58.671 --> 00:04:01.274
Tiny\'s New Year\'s Show.
00:04:01.307 --> 00:04:03.876
What happened was, after that
00:04:03.910 --> 00:04:05.845
the teachers wanted me
to go to theater club
00:04:05.878 --> 00:04:08.548
and mom said, \"No, you
cannot go to theater club.
00:04:08.581 --> 00:04:09.816
\"You must do something else.\"
00:04:09.849 --> 00:04:12.552
And then my, Miss Han
just kept on calling
00:04:12.585 --> 00:04:13.753
over and over again
00:04:13.786 --> 00:04:16.422
just so my mom can make
me go to theater club.
00:04:16.456 --> 00:04:18.891
After going to theater club,
this is where I am now.
00:04:18.925 --> 00:04:22.262
I like theater and my mom
can\'t do anything about it.
00:04:25.398 --> 00:04:27.800
And I think the King
is going to be Max.
00:04:27.834 --> 00:04:29.802
The Queen is going to be...
00:04:29.836 --> 00:04:30.737
- [Girl] Charlotte.
00:04:30.770 --> 00:04:32.071
- Charlotte, yeah.
00:04:32.105 --> 00:04:34.374
- That\'s a bad
combination, William.
00:04:34.407 --> 00:04:35.575
- Who do you think
Hans is gonna be?
00:04:35.608 --> 00:04:37.810
I think Hans is gonna be Lucas.
00:04:50.690 --> 00:04:52.959
- Ow.
00:04:57.864 --> 00:04:58.864
- Again.
00:05:03.069 --> 00:05:04.937
- I don\'t have a
lot of confidence.
00:05:04.971 --> 00:05:07.040
I don\'t know why, actually,
00:05:07.073 --> 00:05:11.110
and I\'m very, how
do you call it?
00:05:11.144 --> 00:05:12.144
Humble.
00:05:13.713 --> 00:05:16.649
- There\'s a difference between
being humble and being like,
00:05:16.683 --> 00:05:19.085
very lowly, you know?
00:05:19.118 --> 00:05:22.488
And Charlotte\'s like
lowly, not humble.
00:05:26.526 --> 00:05:28.494
- [Charlotte] I think
I do have powers
00:05:28.528 --> 00:05:30.430
that people don\'t know about.
00:05:30.463 --> 00:05:33.433
It\'s just that sometimes
they assume things about me
00:05:33.466 --> 00:05:34.867
that I don\'t like.
00:05:38.604 --> 00:05:41.908
- Okay, so we\'re just gonna
look through all the songs.
00:05:41.941 --> 00:05:47.513
Anytime in the script, if
the text is in all caps,
00:05:47.547 --> 00:05:49.749
that means it\'s a song, okay?
00:05:49.782 --> 00:05:51.951

00:06:31.457 --> 00:06:34.026
And to see them
all grown up now.
00:06:35.928 --> 00:06:38.464
To see them all grown up now.
00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:44.036
I was born and raised
in Chinatown here
00:06:44.070 --> 00:06:45.138
in New York City.
00:06:45.171 --> 00:06:47.940
They came looking for
children for the King and I
00:06:47.974 --> 00:06:51.711
with Yul Brynner and I was
very lucky to get the job.
00:06:51.744 --> 00:06:56.716
And so I was pushing my way up
in the Western theater world.
00:06:58.551 --> 00:07:00.920
At one point I realized
00:07:00.953 --> 00:07:03.723
that I had not
even thought about
00:07:03.756 --> 00:07:06.058
giving back to my own community,
00:07:06.092 --> 00:07:10.797
to give the opportunity to
Asian actors and singers
00:07:10.830 --> 00:07:13.466
and dancers to be in shows
00:07:13.499 --> 00:07:17.637
that they would not be cast
in in the Western theater.
00:07:17.670 --> 00:07:22.008
And I thought, you know
what, let\'s start them young.
00:07:26.045 --> 00:07:28.681
- [Women] Thank you so much
for coming to our auditions.
00:07:28.714 --> 00:07:30.683
We\'re very excited
to have you here.
00:07:30.716 --> 00:07:32.852
I can\'t wait to see what
you\'ve all prepared.
00:07:32.885 --> 00:07:34.520

Chorus, and Middle Anna.
00:07:38.191 --> 00:07:39.158
- [Girl] You have to say Olaf.
00:07:39.192 --> 00:07:40.026
- Of course Olaf.
00:07:40.059 --> 00:07:41.027
- [Girl] She\'s totally
gonna get Olaf,
00:07:41.060 --> 00:07:42.094
she\'s so funny.
00:07:42.128 --> 00:07:43.796
- I\'m auditioning for Olaf.
00:07:43.830 --> 00:07:45.731

00:08:01.814 --> 00:08:02.748
All right.
00:08:02.782 --> 00:08:04.517
- Yeah, and your sister
who went all ice crazy
00:08:04.550 --> 00:08:05.985

00:08:06.018 --> 00:08:07.687
- [Woman] Oh no,
it was my fault!
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:08.921
I got engaged to Prince Hans
00:08:08.955 --> 00:08:10.756
but Elsa freaked out
because I just met him,
00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:11.757
you know, today.
00:08:11.791 --> 00:08:17.597
- Wait, you got engaged
to someone you just met?
00:08:17.630 --> 00:08:18.865
- Good job!
00:08:18.898 --> 00:08:19.832
- Thank you William.

get anything anyway

because I\'m an extended day.
00:08:23.769 --> 00:08:28.207
Basically you stay in with
your teacher after school
00:08:28.241 --> 00:08:31.077
and you miss part
of theater club.
00:08:31.110 --> 00:08:32.078
- Who are you auditioning for?
00:08:32.111 --> 00:08:33.212
- What do you think?
00:08:33.246 --> 00:08:34.080
- Kristoff?
00:08:34.113 --> 00:08:35.081
- Kristoff and Sven.
00:08:35.114 --> 00:08:37.550
I\'m not gonna get it anyway.
00:08:42.188 --> 00:08:43.823
You could use help?
00:08:44.924 --> 00:08:48.327
My name\'s Kristoff and
I sell ice for a living.
00:08:48.361 --> 00:08:50.162
- Like how can you use
your face and your body?
00:08:50.196 --> 00:08:52.198
I think you can do more.
00:08:52.231 --> 00:08:55.601
- [Mr. Olsen] One,
two, ready and sing.
00:08:57.270 --> 00:08:59.171
- I couldn\'t find the page.
00:08:59.205 --> 00:09:00.306

first got to PS 124,
00:09:51.390 --> 00:09:53.960
theater club wasn\'t
widely accepted.
00:09:53.993 --> 00:09:55.962
Like, it was a very
chess driven school.
00:09:55.995 --> 00:09:58.698
Everything, they\'ve
won tournaments
00:09:58.731 --> 00:10:00.900
against high school
children playing chess
00:10:00.933 --> 00:10:02.668
and these are
elementary school kids.
00:10:02.702 --> 00:10:04.003
So when we first got
there, their parents
00:10:04.036 --> 00:10:05.037
were kind of like,
00:10:05.071 --> 00:10:07.306
\"Okay, what is theater?
00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:10.009
\"Why is my kid gonna
be doing this?\"
00:10:10.042 --> 00:10:12.778
It\'s not something they\'re
gonna pursue in life,
00:10:12.812 --> 00:10:15.915
like, why are they
wasting their time?
00:10:18.417 --> 00:10:20.653
- Does anyone jump out at you?
00:10:20.686 --> 00:10:21.988
- I mean more for Elsa.
00:10:22.021 --> 00:10:22.855
- Yeah.
00:10:22.888 --> 00:10:24.056
- Than Anna.
00:10:24.090 --> 00:10:25.758
- You know, because Charlotte
and Sidney were so strong.
00:10:25.791 --> 00:10:27.093
- [Hannah] They nailed it.
00:10:27.126 --> 00:10:27.960
- Yeah.
00:10:27.994 --> 00:10:31.263
- I think Sidney\'s
a better actress.
00:10:31.297 --> 00:10:34.033
- Charlotte really stepped
it up this past year, though.
00:10:34.066 --> 00:10:34.734
- Okay.
00:10:34.767 --> 00:10:36.435
- Like I know like watching her
00:10:36.469 --> 00:10:38.404
and all of the stuff we
gave her for Aladdin,
00:10:38.437 --> 00:10:40.339
she was always there.
00:10:40.373 --> 00:10:41.540
- [Kyle] Yeah.
00:10:41.574 --> 00:10:44.677
- And Sidney was too, it\'s
just like they\'re both great.
00:10:44.710 --> 00:10:45.710
- Yeah.
00:10:47.046 --> 00:10:50.716
- What do we think
about Hans and Kristoff?
00:10:52.284 --> 00:10:53.953
- [Mr. Olsen] I think
William could do whatever.
00:10:53.986 --> 00:10:55.888
I think it\'s just a
matter of what you think...
00:10:55.921 --> 00:10:56.756
- Which one.
00:10:56.789 --> 00:10:57.690
- [Mr. Olsen] He\'s
better suited for.
00:10:57.723 --> 00:10:58.824
- I really like Jack
as one of those too.
00:10:58.858 --> 00:11:01.727
- [Kyle] I was just gonna
say between him and Jack.
00:11:05.998 --> 00:11:07.900
- Did we decide
on Elsa and Anna?
00:11:07.933 --> 00:11:08.834
- No.
00:11:08.868 --> 00:11:09.435
- We\'re avoiding it.
00:11:09.468 --> 00:11:12.271
- We decided on nothing.
00:11:13.005 --> 00:11:15.141
[violin playing]
00:11:29.155 --> 00:11:30.856
- [Cameraman] Hm.
00:11:30.890 --> 00:11:32.191
- I messed up.
00:11:32.224 --> 00:11:34.827
So my brother, he was
really good at acting
00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:37.229
and he was really
confident, unlike me,
00:11:37.263 --> 00:11:40.266
and he got all the
main characters
00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:42.435
and one for every single one.
00:11:42.468 --> 00:11:43.335
- It wasn\'t my fault, okay.
00:11:43.369 --> 00:11:45.971
- I\'m not blaming you.
00:11:46.005 --> 00:11:48.941
My brother was like, \"You
better follow in my footsteps.\"
00:11:48.974 --> 00:11:49.909
And I\'m like, oh my gosh,
00:11:49.942 --> 00:11:52.411
and then I audition and
then I don\'t get in,
00:11:52.445 --> 00:11:54.213
I mean I don\'t get it.
00:11:54.246 --> 00:11:56.849
And then he gets mad at me.
00:11:56.882 --> 00:11:59.318
- I don\'t really get mad
at you, I just like...
00:11:59.351 --> 00:12:02.288
- You got mad at me
when I didn\'t get Annie.
00:12:02.321 --> 00:12:03.489
You got really,
really mad at me.
00:12:03.522 --> 00:12:06.992
- Okay, that\'s \'cause you,
you could\'ve been Annie okay.
00:12:24.577 --> 00:12:27.379
- At this point, we\'re about
to pass out the cast list
00:12:27.413 --> 00:12:30.049
and everybody\'s gonna
find out their roles.
00:12:30.082 --> 00:12:31.450
Just what\'s something
you should be keeping
00:12:31.484 --> 00:12:35.121
in mind, Jade?
00:12:35.154 --> 00:12:38.057
- Always be grateful
for your cast and role.
00:12:38.090 --> 00:12:39.458
- Yes, William?
00:12:39.492 --> 00:12:41.327
- Don\'t hurt, cry, murder,
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.998
or bully the person that
got the role you wanted.
00:12:46.031 --> 00:12:48.901
- I think when you do find
out what part you are,
00:12:48.934 --> 00:12:51.237
that part is now
your responsibility
00:12:51.270 --> 00:12:53.372
to be creative and have fun with
00:12:53.405 --> 00:12:55.241
so that we can tell
a really good story,
00:12:55.274 --> 00:12:56.542
does that make sense?
00:12:56.575 --> 00:12:57.209
- [Girl] Yes.
00:12:57.243 --> 00:12:58.210
- [Hannah] Yeah, Charlotte?
00:12:58.244 --> 00:13:00.112
- Even though you don\'t
get the part you want
00:13:00.146 --> 00:13:03.282
that you\'re equally as
important as the big roles.
00:13:03.315 --> 00:13:04.283
- [Hannah] Yeah,
00:13:04.316 --> 00:13:07.853
\'cause you\'re definitely
part of the whole story.
00:13:07.887 --> 00:13:08.854
- [Mr. Olsen] Okay,
when we call you,
00:13:08.888 --> 00:13:10.990
please nicely come up
and pick up a cast list.
00:13:11.023 --> 00:13:12.992
- [Boy] Oh my god.
00:13:13.025 --> 00:13:15.294
- Fifth grade.
00:13:26.338 --> 00:13:27.406
- I got Hans!
00:13:30.476 --> 00:13:34.413
- I\'m Pabbie and .
00:13:36.982 --> 00:13:38.951
- Jack got Kristoff!
00:13:38.984 --> 00:13:40.352
Jack got Kristoff!
00:13:43.022 --> 00:13:45.291
- Angelina got Olaf!
00:13:45.324 --> 00:13:47.993
- Congratulations Angelina!
00:13:48.027 --> 00:13:50.429
Good job Angelina!
00:13:53.032 --> 00:13:56.302
- I feel proud of everybody.
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.108
Good job everybody!
00:14:04.910 --> 00:14:06.946
- I\'m the storyteller,
like, what the hell?
00:14:06.979 --> 00:14:09.648
- I\'m...
00:14:09.682 --> 00:14:14.186
- got Anna, cool!
00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.521
Jack is Kristoff.
00:14:17.189 --> 00:14:18.591
Angelina got Olaf.
00:14:19.491 --> 00:14:22.194
So you\'re gonna be
singing with Angelina.
00:14:22.228 --> 00:14:24.063

- Double jinx!
00:14:32.071 --> 00:14:34.874
- Jack, nice, you got Kristoff.
00:14:36.609 --> 00:14:41.614
- Now I have to study
and do extended day!
00:14:48.554 --> 00:14:52.424
- [Teacher] We are gonna
sing a bunch of the songs,
00:14:52.458 --> 00:14:55.060
but now instead of
singing everything,
00:14:55.094 --> 00:14:57.129
you\'ll be singing your part.

- [Cameraman] Okay.
00:16:00.392 --> 00:16:01.393
- Mom knows best.
00:16:03.128 --> 00:16:05.397
- You have to,
what do I tell you?
00:16:05.431 --> 00:16:08.267
You have to study and find a...
00:16:08.300 --> 00:16:09.300
- Speak in Chinese.
00:16:14.206 --> 00:16:17.142
- [Cameraman] What\'s
your dream job, William?
00:16:17.176 --> 00:16:21.447
- Eye doctor or if my
mom lets me, actor.
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:23.282
- No!
00:16:29.421 --> 00:16:33.459
- But you have to support
your parent, too, right?
00:16:33.492 --> 00:16:37.296
- Yeah, but, the guy doesn\'t
have to do everything.
00:16:37.329 --> 00:16:38.430
- Of course.
00:16:38.464 --> 00:16:42.101
- What, the guy has to do
everything in the family?
00:16:42.134 --> 00:16:42.801
- Yeah.
00:16:42.835 --> 00:16:45.037
- Isn\'t that a little sexist?
00:16:45.070 --> 00:16:46.772
- Do you know how to write it?
00:16:46.805 --> 00:16:48.107
Man.
00:16:48.140 --> 00:16:49.241
The Chinese word.
00:16:49.274 --> 00:16:50.275
- [Boy] No.
00:17:09.161 --> 00:17:10.662
- So let\'s just talk about,
00:17:10.696 --> 00:17:15.100
let\'s talk about the story
that we\'re going to tell.
00:17:15.134 --> 00:17:20.506
- A King and Queen that died
in a terrible ship accident,
00:17:20.873 --> 00:17:24.109
Elsa and Anna were
left by themselves
00:17:25.411 --> 00:17:29.481
and Elsa had to keep her
powers secret from everyone,
00:17:29.515 --> 00:17:31.350
including Anna.
00:17:31.383 --> 00:17:34.486
- For some reason there\'s
this guy named Hans.
00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:36.655
He falls in love with Anna,
00:17:36.688 --> 00:17:41.093
so then he can become
King of Arendelle, but...
00:17:41.126 --> 00:17:42.728
- Elsa gets angry because Anna
00:17:42.761 --> 00:17:45.330
is marrying somebody
she just met,
00:17:45.364 --> 00:17:46.832
so then she shows her powers.
00:17:46.865 --> 00:17:50.836
- And she\'s like, \"Ah!\"
And she runs away.
00:17:50.869 --> 00:17:55.841
- Anna meets Kristoff and then
they go off try to find Elsa.
00:17:56.241 --> 00:17:58.143
- Elsa wanted her to stay away
00:17:58.177 --> 00:18:00.112
because she can\'t
control her powers,
00:18:00.145 --> 00:18:03.582
but Anna did not listen
and she froze her heart.
00:18:03.615 --> 00:18:08.654
- Kristoff decided to bring
Anna to the hidden folks.
00:18:08.687 --> 00:18:10.322
Pabbie examined her
00:18:10.355 --> 00:18:14.193
and they found out that she\'d
been struck in the heart.
00:18:14.226 --> 00:18:16.261
They said that only
an act of true love
00:18:16.295 --> 00:18:18.697
could help thaw out the ice.
00:18:18.730 --> 00:18:21.300
- Kristoff brings Anna to Hans
00:18:22.234 --> 00:18:24.870
and then Hans reveals
himself that he was lying
00:18:24.903 --> 00:18:27.506
and that he just wanted
to marry into the throne,
00:18:27.539 --> 00:18:32.511
and then Anna sees Hans about
to kill Anna, Elsa,
00:18:32.778 --> 00:18:35.380
Elsa, and then Anna runs to Elsa
00:18:35.414 --> 00:18:39.485
and then saves
her, and then yeah.
00:18:44.356 --> 00:18:45.390
- Great.
00:18:45.424 --> 00:18:48.360
I think you got the whole story.
00:18:48.393 --> 00:18:50.929
So we\'re gonna make a list of
things you need to fill out.
00:18:50.963 --> 00:18:52.197
Ready?
00:18:52.231 --> 00:18:53.432
Number one, name.
00:18:53.465 --> 00:18:54.566
Number two, age.
00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:57.402
Number three, a word that
describes your character.
00:18:57.436 --> 00:18:58.837
Number four, the energy,
00:18:58.871 --> 00:19:00.772
a physical energy
of your character.
00:19:00.806 --> 00:19:03.208
- What\'s the last
one he just said?
00:19:04.209 --> 00:19:06.845
- Do they have any friends,
if so, who are they?
00:19:06.879 --> 00:19:08.847
- So, number seven,
your character voice.
00:19:08.881 --> 00:19:11.250
Number eight, how does
your character laugh?
00:19:11.283 --> 00:19:13.752
Number nine, how does
your character react
00:19:13.785 --> 00:19:15.754
when they are sad or crying?
00:19:15.787 --> 00:19:20.392
Put some thought into this and
please have it by next week
00:19:20.425 --> 00:19:22.227
and we will be sharing this
00:19:22.261 --> 00:19:24.863
so please put some
effort into it.
00:19:24.897 --> 00:19:26.431
Yes?
00:19:31.436 --> 00:19:32.404
- Ah.
00:19:32.437 --> 00:19:34.573
This one I love.
00:19:50.322 --> 00:19:52.691
It worked, did it not?
00:19:54.493 --> 00:19:57.496
This also works, but hold this.
00:19:57.529 --> 00:19:59.565
High five, Joshie.
00:19:59.598 --> 00:20:00.599
Wait.
00:20:00.632 --> 00:20:01.800
Hold the metal.
00:20:03.669 --> 00:20:06.004
Hold the metal, high five.
00:20:06.038 --> 00:20:07.472
Wait!
00:20:07.506 --> 00:20:08.506
Joshua!
00:20:13.045 --> 00:20:16.882
Watch this, high five.
00:20:21.587 --> 00:20:22.254
- All right you guys,
00:20:22.287 --> 00:20:24.690
we are going to start staging
00:20:24.723 --> 00:20:27.793
the very beginning of the show.
00:20:27.826 --> 00:20:29.861
We\'re gonna use
this area as a stage
00:20:29.895 --> 00:20:32.698
and we\'re gonna pretend that
that side is the audience,
00:20:32.731 --> 00:20:34.299
okay?
00:20:34.333 --> 00:20:37.803
You\'re gonna run
together, na na na hey,
00:20:37.836 --> 00:20:39.538
and on hey your arms
are gonna go up.
00:20:39.571 --> 00:20:41.707
Na na na hey na na.
00:20:41.740 --> 00:20:42.674
Yeah?
00:20:42.708 --> 00:20:44.943
- So this has to be
like, bright and high!
00:20:44.977 --> 00:20:46.912
Like I haven\'t seen Hannah
in a long time, like.
00:20:46.945 --> 00:20:47.913
- Oh my gosh!
00:20:47.946 --> 00:20:49.481
- Like that.
00:20:49.514 --> 00:20:52.818
- You\'re just gonna run
in a circle, this way.
00:20:52.851 --> 00:20:53.851
Na na hey.
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:56.622
Just like that.
00:20:56.655 --> 00:20:58.590
Na heya, heyanuwa, nuwa.
00:21:03.328 --> 00:21:04.930
Na heya no ha na, yep.
00:21:08.667 --> 00:21:09.835

00:42:02.052 --> 00:42:06.123
\"Asian people are
horrible at acting.\"
00:42:06.323 --> 00:42:07.725
You know what was so funny.
00:42:07.758 --> 00:42:09.627
- Not horrible,
I mean cannot be.
00:42:09.660 --> 00:42:10.294
- Cannot be acting.
00:42:10.327 --> 00:42:12.162
You know what\'s so funny?
00:42:12.196 --> 00:42:13.297
- [Interviewer] What?
00:42:13.330 --> 00:42:15.933
- I watched Crazy Rich
Asians, what do you think mom?
00:42:15.966 --> 00:42:18.168
You didn\'t even fall
asleep in that movie.
00:42:19.303 --> 00:42:21.272
- I always sleep.
00:42:21.305 --> 00:42:22.806
- Like every single
movie she\'s like.
00:42:24.975 --> 00:42:27.745
I bet you if she hasn\'t
watched that movie,
00:42:27.778 --> 00:42:30.314
she would be asleep right now.
00:42:30.347 --> 00:42:31.849
And you look, every single day,
00:42:31.882 --> 00:42:34.752
they watch TV and it\'s
all Chinese people
00:42:34.785 --> 00:42:38.188
and they say Asian
people cannot be actors.
00:42:38.222 --> 00:42:40.090
What do they watch every day?
00:42:42.826 --> 00:42:44.728
Also, you know how
they say Chinese people
00:42:44.762 --> 00:42:45.796
are good at math?
00:42:45.829 --> 00:42:47.798
Well that\'s just stupid.
00:42:50.768 --> 00:42:53.938
♪ But different isn\'t hateful
00:42:53.971 --> 00:42:56.807
♪ Different could be swell
00:42:56.840 --> 00:43:04.840
♪ Different is just
well, different ♪
00:43:08.652 --> 00:43:10.988
[cheering]
00:43:14.992 --> 00:43:17.261
♪ Warts and all
00:43:24.835 --> 00:43:26.236
- Yeah, it\'s okay.
00:43:28.372 --> 00:43:28.772
- [Woman] You did good.
00:43:28.806 --> 00:43:29.573
- You did good.
00:43:29.607 --> 00:43:32.209
- [Woman] We\'re
all proud of you.
00:43:38.782 --> 00:43:41.051
[soft music]
00:43:51.061 --> 00:43:54.865
- Welcome to our sixteenth
annual career day.
00:43:55.866 --> 00:43:57.267
This is something I started
00:43:57.301 --> 00:43:59.703
when I first became
principal here.
00:43:59.737 --> 00:44:04.241
We have our returning
Rocky Chin, returning.
00:44:04.475 --> 00:44:07.444
[applause]
00:44:07.478 --> 00:44:10.280
- Yung Wing actually is not
just somebody who came here,
00:44:10.314 --> 00:44:12.082
went to school at
this school, and then,
00:44:12.116 --> 00:44:14.818
but he actually
went back to China
00:44:14.852 --> 00:44:19.823
and he convinced those dynasty
folks to send young Chinese,
00:44:20.157 --> 00:44:23.794
all boys at the time,
to America to study.
00:44:23.827 --> 00:44:27.865
So what do you think was the
reason that program stopped?
00:44:27.898 --> 00:44:29.900
There was a law that passed,
00:44:29.933 --> 00:44:32.970
laws which said that we\'re
gonna close our doors
00:44:33.003 --> 00:44:35.973
to the Chinese just
because they\'re Chinese
00:44:36.006 --> 00:44:38.242
and also because in those days,
00:44:38.275 --> 00:44:42.312
the dynasty didn\'t want those
Chinese boys coming here,
00:44:42.346 --> 00:44:44.848
getting to become Americanized.
00:44:44.882 --> 00:44:47.151
They actually played baseball
and things like that.
00:44:47.184 --> 00:44:48.752
They got too Americanized
00:44:48.786 --> 00:44:51.188
according to the old
fashioned Chinese.
00:44:51.221 --> 00:44:54.291
- I\'m also an
immigrant in the US,
00:44:54.324 --> 00:44:58.996
but I bet you you\'ll never
guess what country I come from.
00:44:59.029 --> 00:45:01.365
That\'s a good guess, but
it\'s very close to Brazil,
00:45:01.398 --> 00:45:03.167
right next to Brazil.
00:45:03.200 --> 00:45:04.034
Okay.
00:45:04.068 --> 00:45:04.902
- Argentina.
00:45:04.935 --> 00:45:05.969
- [Speaker] Yes.
00:45:06.003 --> 00:45:07.805
How\'d you guess Argentina?
00:45:07.838 --> 00:45:09.440
- Because I looked
on your website.
00:45:09.473 --> 00:45:11.108
- [Others] Oh, wow.
00:45:12.476 --> 00:45:14.311
- [Speaker] Wow, wow.
00:45:14.344 --> 00:45:16.246
You did your research.
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:17.514
- You know some of
you are fifth grade,
00:45:17.548 --> 00:45:19.483
you\'re getting your,
00:45:19.516 --> 00:45:21.351
you\'re finding out where
you\'re going to middle school,
00:45:21.385 --> 00:45:22.252
right?
00:45:22.286 --> 00:45:22.786
- No.
00:45:22.820 --> 00:45:24.855
- [Speaker] Not yet?
00:45:24.888 --> 00:45:26.123
- I found out.
00:45:26.156 --> 00:45:27.024
- [Speaker] You happy?
00:45:27.057 --> 00:45:28.158
- No.
00:45:28.192 --> 00:45:30.227
That\'s why I appealed.
00:45:30.260 --> 00:45:31.962
- [Student] I guess.
00:45:31.995 --> 00:45:33.764
- [Speaker] Well,
whatever life deals you,
00:45:33.797 --> 00:45:35.332
you gotta work
hard at, you know?
00:45:35.365 --> 00:45:38.535
You gotta take it
as a lesson, sure.
00:45:38.569 --> 00:45:40.404
So what I\'m doing is I\'m...
00:45:40.437 --> 00:45:42.973
- MAT, which my sister
got into with one three
00:45:43.006 --> 00:45:44.408
and one four, and I\'m so sad
00:45:44.441 --> 00:45:48.879
\'cause I got two fours
and I didn\'t get in.
00:45:48.912 --> 00:45:52.916
So then, the next one
I picked was Clinton,
00:45:52.950 --> 00:45:57.387
\'cause I love, I love art
and theater\'s basically art.
00:45:57.421 --> 00:46:00.057
I didn\'t get into that either.
00:46:02.826 --> 00:46:05.963
- I\'m going to hell, oh
wait, all schools are hell.
00:46:07.231 --> 00:46:09.166
But for real, I\'m going to LMC.
00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:11.401
- I\'m going to LAB,
and I\'m very happy.
00:46:11.435 --> 00:46:13.470
- I\'m not gonna be happy at all.
00:46:13.504 --> 00:46:14.538
- [Interviewer] Why?
00:46:14.571 --> 00:46:17.975
- Because I don\'t get to
see anymore of my friends.
00:46:18.008 --> 00:46:19.510
- [Interviewer] Oh no
one\'s going with you?
00:46:19.543 --> 00:46:20.543
- No friends!
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:23.514
- In middle school,
it\'s almost guaranteed
00:46:23.547 --> 00:46:27.217
that I\'m going to be
around different races,
00:46:27.251 --> 00:46:32.356
not just Asian, because then
I won\'t have all these people,
00:46:32.389 --> 00:46:35.559
my friends
00:46:35.592 --> 00:46:38.395
talking Cantonese
behind my back.
00:46:38.428 --> 00:46:41.331
- Solve the problem,
just write the equations.
00:46:41.365 --> 00:46:43.233
- Okay, okay, okay.
00:46:43.267 --> 00:46:45.068
- And then answer the question,
00:46:45.102 --> 00:46:46.236
does it solve for .
00:46:46.270 --> 00:46:50.541
The whole idea of middle
school was to start all over.
00:46:50.574 --> 00:46:53.110
Well I want to start over.
00:46:53.143 --> 00:46:55.512
I wanna make some new friends
00:46:55.546 --> 00:46:57.114
and make some real friends
00:46:57.147 --> 00:47:01.418
because like everyone in
your class is fake friends.
00:47:03.320 --> 00:47:05.088
Mommy can you open this?
00:47:05.122 --> 00:47:05.789
- No, don\'t.
00:47:05.823 --> 00:47:07.958
She just wants to play games.
00:47:07.991 --> 00:47:09.259
- [Woman] That\'s
your brothers phone,
00:47:09.293 --> 00:47:10.460
why you wanna open that?
00:47:10.494 --> 00:47:11.461
- Because I wanna play games.
00:47:11.495 --> 00:47:13.964
- No, can you give me
the phone, thank you.
00:47:17.167 --> 00:47:21.071
- I know that not a lot of
middle schools in New York
00:47:21.104 --> 00:47:24.007
have good theater programs.
00:47:24.041 --> 00:47:29.146
But there is modern dancing
in LAB and I might join it.
00:47:29.179 --> 00:47:33.016
- [Woman] They have a city
wide school audition, actually.
00:47:33.050 --> 00:47:33.717
- Really?
00:47:33.750 --> 00:47:35.118
- [Woman] Yeah, they have that.
00:47:35.152 --> 00:47:36.486
- Dance audition or school?
00:47:36.520 --> 00:47:37.154
- [Woman] For the
theater, for the theater.
00:47:37.187 --> 00:47:38.155
- I wanna do it!
00:47:38.188 --> 00:47:38.589
- [Woman] You wanna do it?
00:47:38.622 --> 00:47:39.890
- Wanna do it!
00:47:39.923 --> 00:47:40.324
- [Woman] Okay.
00:47:40.357 --> 00:47:41.859
- I wanna do it.
00:47:43.060 --> 00:47:44.928
- [Woman] All right, I think
I gave you the link, right?
00:47:44.962 --> 00:47:47.197
- You didn\'t give me the link!
00:47:47.231 --> 00:47:48.966
- Yeah, I didn\'t
give you the link
00:47:48.999 --> 00:47:51.034
because I think that
link is for high school,
00:47:51.068 --> 00:47:53.370
that\'s why I didn\'t give you.
00:48:00.043 --> 00:48:05.048
- There\'s gonna be tied on and
them I\'m gonna pull it off.
00:48:05.682 --> 00:48:06.617
- Oh.
00:48:06.650 --> 00:48:07.050
- [Charlotte] And there
two people behind here
00:48:07.084 --> 00:48:08.418
to pull it off.
00:48:08.452 --> 00:48:09.186
- Really?
00:48:09.219 --> 00:48:10.187
Oh, okay.
00:48:10.220 --> 00:48:11.355
And you practiced that?
00:48:11.388 --> 00:48:12.489
- Yeah, and she\'s like,
00:48:12.522 --> 00:48:16.493
\"Oh, Mr. Lee might come on
the day before the show.\"
00:48:16.526 --> 00:48:17.594
And you know what I\'m thinking,
00:48:17.628 --> 00:48:19.930
what if the costume doesn\'t fit?
00:48:19.963 --> 00:48:21.565
She didn\'t even
measure our things.
00:48:21.598 --> 00:48:22.633
- What if you trip on the cape?
00:48:22.666 --> 00:48:24.568
- Then I trip on it and I fall
00:48:24.601 --> 00:48:27.204
and I get a bruise then I die.
00:48:27.537 --> 00:48:29.373
- [Charlotte\'s Mother] What?
00:48:29.406 --> 00:48:30.540
- [Interviewer] Aaron,
00:48:30.574 --> 00:48:32.976
have you ever thought of
being an actor in the future?
00:48:33.010 --> 00:48:36.113
- I used to and then I
realized puberty was a thing.
00:48:36.146 --> 00:48:39.283
- He always talks like this.
00:48:39.316 --> 00:48:40.316
I\'m fine.
00:48:43.186 --> 00:48:44.186
Smile!
00:48:46.590 --> 00:48:47.591
smile.
00:48:56.433 --> 00:49:01.505
- We have some news that we
wanted to share with you first
00:49:01.538 --> 00:49:04.441
because you are
working with Mr. Olsen.
00:49:04.474 --> 00:49:08.378
So, he\'s going to tell
you while I turn around.
00:49:09.413 --> 00:49:12.616
- My wife got a job
teaching at a college
00:49:12.649 --> 00:49:16.086
in a town called
Kirksville, Missouri,
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:20.190
so that means that sadly this
is my last year at PS 124.
00:49:20.223 --> 00:49:21.258
- [Students] No!
00:49:21.291 --> 00:49:22.291
- Yeah.
00:49:25.329 --> 00:49:26.596
Some of you in this
room I\'ve known
00:49:26.630 --> 00:49:29.466
since my first day
at PS 124 in Pre-K
00:49:29.499 --> 00:49:31.068
and I\'ve seen you guys grow up
00:49:31.101 --> 00:49:34.304
and I\'m gonna be a music
teacher in Missouri
00:49:34.338 --> 00:49:37.407
and the whole school
is only 120 kids.
00:49:37.441 --> 00:49:39.409
It\'s literally like in a farm.
00:49:39.443 --> 00:49:41.044
Like, I visited the
school last week
00:49:41.078 --> 00:49:42.412
and it\'s like, you drive up
00:49:42.446 --> 00:49:44.314
and there\'s cows
across the street.
00:49:44.548 --> 00:49:45.215
[laughter]
00:49:45.248 --> 00:49:46.616
- They might be the students!
00:49:46.650 --> 00:49:48.185
- Yeah.
00:49:48.218 --> 00:49:48.785
Yes.
00:49:48.819 --> 00:49:50.020
William?
00:49:50.053 --> 00:49:53.390
- Can we sneak on your plane
please so you can\'t go there?
00:49:53.423 --> 00:49:54.558
- I think you\'d
probably get in trouble
00:49:54.591 --> 00:49:57.027
for sneaking on my plane, but.
00:49:58.161 --> 00:50:00.230
Oh, thank you guys.
00:50:00.263 --> 00:50:01.263
Thank you.
00:50:02.733 --> 00:50:03.633
What\'s that?
00:50:03.667 --> 00:50:04.067
- Can I use the bathroom?
00:50:04.101 --> 00:50:06.003
- Yes, go ahead.
00:50:07.204 --> 00:50:08.438
You can, I\'ll come
back and visit.
00:50:08.472 --> 00:50:10.040
I\'ll come back and
visit, I promise.
00:50:10.073 --> 00:50:11.441
- Come back every other year?
00:50:11.475 --> 00:50:12.509
- Hm?
00:50:12.542 --> 00:50:13.610
- Are you coming
back any other year?
00:50:13.643 --> 00:50:16.446
- No, I have to start, I
have to move this summer,
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:18.749
but I\'ll come back and visit.
00:50:22.219 --> 00:50:25.088
- I wanna move to Mr.
Olsen\'s new school!
00:50:25.122 --> 00:50:26.356
And be one of his students.
00:50:26.390 --> 00:50:29.426
- Yeah, now that we went
under 21 students!
00:50:32.562 --> 00:50:33.096
- Bye!
00:50:33.130 --> 00:50:35.232
- Bye-bye, thank you.
00:50:35.265 --> 00:50:36.299
Bye, thanks girls, bye.
00:50:36.333 --> 00:50:38.335
Bye Daniel.
00:50:44.608 --> 00:50:47.344
- What we\'re going to
do, in your groups,
00:50:47.377 --> 00:50:49.379
to come up with the
tableau of Arendelle
00:50:49.413 --> 00:50:53.150
at the very end of the show.
00:50:53.350 --> 00:50:56.787
So how your characters are
feeling and interacting.
00:50:56.820 --> 00:51:00.524
- I\'m bored.
00:51:00.557 --> 00:51:04.694
- [Woman] Can you

gonna be, thank you.
00:51:07.297 --> 00:51:09.199
- In the last
picture everyone cheers!
00:51:09.232 --> 00:51:10.232
- No!
00:51:11.535 --> 00:51:12.736
- Grab him!
00:51:22.612 --> 00:51:24.381
Yeah, we drag him!
00:51:24.414 --> 00:51:25.849
- I\'m dragging him!
00:51:27.684 --> 00:51:29.820

00:51:32.689 --> 00:51:34.257

00:51:34.291 --> 00:51:37.094

of the prison!
00:51:40.163 --> 00:51:41.698
- Are you okay?
00:51:46.436 --> 00:51:48.638
- He\'s laughing, I think.
00:51:51.875 --> 00:51:52.909
- You had to kick me in the head
00:51:52.943 --> 00:51:54.111
and then smack me in the face!
00:51:54.144 --> 00:51:55.846
- I didn\'t kick you in the
head or smack you in the face.
00:51:55.879 --> 00:51:56.646
- It\'s her.
00:51:56.680 --> 00:51:57.681
- I didn\'t!
00:51:57.714 --> 00:51:58.882
- I\'m not doing this.
00:51:58.915 --> 00:52:01.785

head or smack you in the face.
00:52:01.818 --> 00:52:03.587

- I didn\'t touch him.
00:52:04.588 --> 00:52:08.692
- I didn\'t do anything
except for the hair.
00:52:09.359 --> 00:52:10.393
- My group kicked me in the head
00:52:10.427 --> 00:52:11.895
and then smacked me in the face.
00:52:14.898 --> 00:52:17.767
- I\'m just standing here!
00:52:17.801 --> 00:52:19.503
- I didn\'t touch him!
00:52:19.536 --> 00:52:20.704
- Don\'t be defensive.
00:52:20.737 --> 00:52:23.206
Somebody hit
William in the head.
00:52:23.240 --> 00:52:24.541
It\'s not acceptable.
00:52:24.574 --> 00:52:26.710
- [Boy] I only touched him.
00:52:26.743 --> 00:52:28.278
- With your foot or your hands?
00:52:28.311 --> 00:52:30.313
- [Boy] With my hands.
00:52:31.715 --> 00:52:33.717
- Whose foot was involved
with William\'s head?
00:52:36.386 --> 00:52:38.622
- [Woman] Keep
going, keep working!
00:52:41.691 --> 00:52:44.294
- As a group, you\'re not
being safe right now.
00:52:44.327 --> 00:52:45.428
Okay, so you have to
make a better choice
00:52:45.462 --> 00:52:47.864
so that William
doesn\'t get hurt.
00:52:47.898 --> 00:52:49.399
As a group, okay?
00:52:50.567 --> 00:52:53.570
Thank you.
00:52:57.707 --> 00:53:03.813
- Let\'s pretend that Hans is
now a good guy again, okay?
00:53:03.847 --> 00:53:05.215
Let\'s make a happy ending.
00:53:05.248 --> 00:53:06.483
Make a happy ending picture.
00:53:06.516 --> 00:53:08.185
Ready, set go.
00:53:08.418 --> 00:53:10.687
- Uh, happy ending picture.
00:53:12.756 --> 00:53:14.891
- Party time!
00:53:19.930 --> 00:53:23.733
- We did nothing, they
already have the picture.
00:53:26.336 --> 00:53:27.404
- We\'re going to sleep.
00:53:27.437 --> 00:53:28.605
- Yeah, go to sleep.
00:53:28.638 --> 00:53:29.878
Sleeping is a very good picture.
00:53:29.906 --> 00:53:31.942
- Yeah, sleeping\'s
a very good picture.
00:53:31.975 --> 00:53:35.312
- Okay, I think we need to
help them a little more.
00:53:35.345 --> 00:53:36.379
Yeah.
00:53:36.413 --> 00:53:37.414
Let\'s see.
00:53:38.982 --> 00:53:41.818
Do you want them to
mirror that side?
00:53:41.851 --> 00:53:42.686
Okay.
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:46.423
William and Weselton,
arms up please.
00:53:46.456 --> 00:53:49.492
Like this.
00:53:49.526 --> 00:53:51.494
- [Student] But we\'re
copying the other group.
00:53:51.528 --> 00:53:53.296
- They\'re doing it
slightly different.
00:53:53.330 --> 00:53:55.899
But you guys are different
characters, so it\'s okay.
00:53:55.932 --> 00:53:58.835
These are your final
poses, make sense?
00:53:58.868 --> 00:53:59.669
- [Students] Yeah!
00:53:59.703 --> 00:54:00.704

Hannah told us.
00:54:15.051 --> 00:54:18.355

and your signature, okay.
00:54:18.388 --> 00:54:20.757
Put your bag down.
00:54:20.790 --> 00:54:21.258
Okay, sign your name.
00:54:21.291 --> 00:54:23.026

Mr. Olsen won\'t be seeing.
00:54:28.064 --> 00:54:30.634
Thank you guys,
don\'t tell Mr. Olsen!
00:54:30.667 --> 00:54:38.667
- [Student] Maybe this color?
00:54:45.649 --> 00:54:47.384
- Now what do I do?
00:55:08.805 --> 00:55:11.775
- Okay, we\'re gonna start
bringing in props and costumes.
00:55:11.808 --> 00:55:17.847
You only, only, only touch
a prop or a piece of scenery
00:55:17.881 --> 00:55:19.082
if it is your job
00:55:19.115 --> 00:55:21.751
and you only do it
during the show, agreed?
00:55:21.785 --> 00:55:22.786

00:55:23.887 --> 00:55:26.056

You can\'t sing with
that in your mouth.
00:56:04.127 --> 00:56:05.462

00:56:05.495 --> 00:56:07.163
Why would you be

So why are you not doing it?
00:56:57.180 --> 00:57:02.752
- We have two ish more
days to practice it.
00:57:03.219 --> 00:57:05.188
- There\'s certain
songs where like,
00:57:05.221 --> 00:57:07.457
you were not singing at all.
00:57:07.490 --> 00:57:08.525

It\'s like the last
thing before the show
00:57:37.086 --> 00:57:41.758

I\'m leaving PS 124.
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:46.663

project your voice.
