" Did Broadway musical -- media is celebrating eight years of sold out shows over 3000 performances and a lot of that credit goes to this woman here Cara Lee Carmelo she's a two time Tony award nominee. Who plays a single working mother. In real life -- we have all of us saying. My mother media by the reason for the scheduled woman it out of control I don't know how you do it. Just what you want the stain is fantastic you have so much energy welcome this Hank thinks didn't -- let me hear eight days a week you guys perform. Are we welcome you -- eight to get eight days in the week in week week's match between eight shows in the six states. However that. 22 songs. In in each is the four yes the thing and -- little effort tonight I had Watson I watch the performance it was fantastic that you you didn't you tell me how you have so much energy how do you do it. God I can't -- not I don't have a lot of energy onstage actually -- market and tired."

" It's funny because of people always ask us like how do you sort of keep things fresh and keep the energy -- if he really is part of your job they were visitors funny story that I. That I tell my friends about my son nom I'll tell you now but. I was sick one night I was really having a hard time getting to show because as you say it takes a lot of energy and I was struggling through it and he was in my dressing room with my daughter and every time I would come offstage I was kind of huffing and puffing and moaning. Got so finally got to the into the show and he had been watching the finale that's just the six. Well yeah. I've seen me on stage in any -- in the dressing room and he said. Are you okay mommies can't just I don't feel good and I'm really need to go home nom done I can go he said but."

" You are out of a stinking union look sixteen million. You know what you're dancing and seen him look like you're having good time -- well that's that's my job hunting and drinks -- good you have and he went. So there may pay you to pretend you're having a good time not -- let's just after he's got -- hundred -- get your kids right here yet. And year married to a real leading man he's also an actor Greg settlement is up to six Tony award nominations between the two of you guys and me annie's competition there. I do you know."

" Have been times when we you know somebody get seen for a movie nearly a dozen or somebody gets you know I agree. You know -- not it's not good and apparently we can never put the same parts of that makes it -- you've also -- TV Ed Frazier line order as Welty do you have a preference when it comes -- TV or use go where. I know I just I like the variety I think and and I wish there -- more TV in New York -- because I a lot of this things that you just mentioned are in LA but. My family is here and end it right it's a little hard to travel to LA and do like the whole you know sit down there for a couple years but. Whatever happens in New York and I'm more than willing to do you know I'm doing this film whatever comes my way a large portion of your audience are women in their forties in their fifties as well to what you think she's been the case. All I think part of the appeal of the show is of course the love music which. You know if you're certain age you have very -- style chick memories about you know dancing queen -- winner takes it all and mamiya. Still I think part of the age. Kind of appeal is people who were teenagers or college -- during those seven these years when the all the songs were in their -- I -- I also think because they were smart when he wrote the show. And made the story really about. Three friends who are you know middle aged women yeah and and trying to sort of capitalize on the fact that. You know women of of a certain age need to have fun and need to have friends in need to have you know a life exactly and so I think it really appeals to that. You know who Democrat roof as well and a -- a fantastic job and I'm so glad you not to cut and I gotta go back to perform evidence. Links you saw exactly."

" Thanks for watching better done TV for more stories like the one you just -- the television program better every -- day check your local TV listings to see better. City."
