    I love how colbert realizes that his guest is nervous and talking too fast and starts talking extra slow himself to slooooow everything down. He is helping his unexperienced guest in a very respectful way. Nice one Stephen.

      Colbert also goes in and closes the gap, and just looks at him in his eyes as to isolate the guest and the host, like its just the two of them having a conversation with the audience to calm him down and get him settled in the new environment.

      Platt is quoting a story Colbert told about meeting his wife, that he told earlier in the show. Thus the audience and Stephen go "Awwwwww" it shows Platt was listening.

      Not that any of that has to do with how fast he talks though lol- that's just him! Or, yes, perhaps something he's picked up from playing Evan for so long. I'm always amazed at how he can maintain such good diction while talking so fast though! haha.

    UPDATE: I SAW THE SHOW THIS PAST WEEKEND AND OMG IT WAS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. TEARS WERE ROLLING DOWN TO MY NECK. THE ENTIRE CAST WAS AMAZING OMG. I was saving up for so long and bought a ticket for 4th row center orchestra and seriously it was worth it.

      Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the original cast's contracts are up in November. After that they can choose to stay, join the national tour, or go on to other projects. But I'm sure the show will still be running and a great cast will be in place.
      Tickets are available at the box office every day for standing room and partial view seats - though that's just about 20 tickets so they go immediately. But if you get there early (6am) you can likely get a ticket when the box office opens at 10am.

      @barbaro267 6 лет назад +16

      You know how some people pay money for a movie ticket when they only plan to sleep the entire time? Well, paying 100 times that amount for a Broadway ticket, and planning to just talk the entire time is equally absurd!

    • @aziangurl723
      @aziangurl723 5 лет назад +17

      They were probably rich kids. Teenagers who most likely wanted to impress their dates, but have no real appreciation for Broadway and live theater decorum. They definitely didn't deserve those tickets.
