00:00 I mean I think her questions even when you have a young she is the prime audience right?
00:08 She would be that or one of the audiences for this but she's that age that if it doesn't speak to her it's not quite because she's that young person that says this feels authentic or this doesn't or I don't understand this.
00:23 And I think Susie wrote this beautiful article called Teenagers are Real and it was really a young person saying listen to teenagers you know really listen to what they have to say and don't simplify things for them.
00:35 Don't not talk about the hard subjects with them. I think it's very important that a lot of young people see this so they can really think and feel and discuss all these very heavy and very real conversations.
00:47 And what gets you through which is your friends, your family, something to believe in all of that but it doesn't stay on the surface you know and I think her questions helped us to help be a guide.
01:00 You know she spent a lot of time with Justin. She really she started giving me a lot of thoughts and notes and talking to him but then she really she started to spend time with the musical team and with Justin and partially is just in awe of him and is a student of theater like so many of us.
01:15 She's able to have this front row seat to such extraordinary creatives but I also think just having the energy of somebody that loves theater.
01:24 You know there are those artists that think about themselves and there are those artists that are just rooting for everybody else.
01:29 She's that one. She's the one that just roots for everybody and so it's nice to have around and I'm her mom but I think her notes are very important.
01:39 Have the other kids seen it as well?
01:41 Yeah. Yeah.
01:43 Do they have similar thoughts? Do they share their thoughts too?
01:45 Yeah. Yeah. And they all have very strong reactions. They all just believe in it. They all think it's I think it's I think it speaks.
01:52 The nice thing is when you show things to young people not just young people a lot of people that see this have they get private after about their thoughts about it right.
02:01 They say they like it. They say they enjoy it. They talk about what's cool but they also seem to be thinking deeply about what it says because it's personal for everyone.
02:11 And everybody relates to a different character.
