A MESS [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: YEAH
4-D. THE PIGEONS LEFT. Jimmy: YES, WELL,
APPARENTLY, THAT'S GOOD LUCK APPARENTLY, THAT'S GOOD LUCK YEAH
BUT "PIGEONS: THE MUSICAL" I HAVEN'T DONE [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: WE GOTTA WORK ON THAT I'M GOING TO READ YOU SOME
STATS HERE YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD ALL THESE.
BUT JUST IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT OF-- "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA"
HOLDS THE RECORD AS THE LONGEST RUNNING SHOW IN BROADWAY HISTORY, PLAYING
13,981 PERFORMANCES. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE THE ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING IS
CERTIFIED QUADRUPLE PLATINUM AND IS THE BEST-SELLING CAST RECORDING OF ALL TIME.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE THE ORCHESTRA AT "PHANTOM" WAS ONE OF BROADWAY'S LARGEST,
HOLDING 27 FULL-TIME MUSICIANS, 11 OF WHOM WERE WITH THE SHOW SINCE IT FIRST OPENED.
[ APPLAUSE ] AND THEN-- I LIKE THIS ONE A LOT.
"THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" HAS BEEN THE LARGEST GENERATOR OF INCOME AND JOBS IN BROADWAY AND
U.S. THEATRICAL HISTORY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE AND LET'S JUST SAY HOW GREAT
IT IS TO HAVE A LIVE BAND, AND HOW GREAT THESE GUYS ARE Jimmy: I KNOW, THE ROOTS ARE
FANTASTIC. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE NOTHING LIKE THEM.
CAN I ASK YOU ABOUT "CATS" HOW DOES - [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
HOW DOES ONE COME UP WITH AN IDEA LIKE "CATS" AND ARE YOU A CAT PERSON
WELL, I AM A CAT PERSON WELL, I WAS-- [ CHEERS ]
- A TOTAL CAT PERSON UNTIL I SAW THE "CATS" MOVIE [ LAUGHTER ]
Jimmy: NO, YOU CAN'T SAY-- NO-- NO YOU CAN'T - [ APPLAUSE ]
NO STANDING, NO STANDING BUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE "CATS" MOVIE WAS DURING THE
COURSE OF IT BEING, AS IT WERE, SHOT-- WHICH I HOPED THE WHOLE MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN--
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT I-- I BOUGHT THIS LITTLE PUPPY.
AND HE'S CALLED MOJITO HE'S A LITTLE-- AND HE'S A LITTLE HAVANESE DOG.
HE COMES FROM CUBA AND THAT'S LITTLE 'JITI. Jimmy: THAT'S YOU AND
MOJITO YEAH, MOJITO. [ AUDIENCE AWWs
AND SO, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE THINGS, YOU KNOW YOU'RE ALLOWED TO TAKE A THERAPY-- OR DOG
LIKE THAT KIND ON AIRPLANES. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN-- Jimmy: OH, SURE
BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DOCTOR'S CERTIFICATE TO DO IT
Jimmy: YES. YOU KNOW THAT SO, I FORGET WHICH AIRLINE IT
WAS NOW, BUT I SAID TO THE AIRLINE, "I HAVE TO HAVE MY LITTLE THERAPY COMPANION DOG
WITH ME. AND THEY SAID, "YOU NEED A A DOCTOR'S LETTER.
AND SO, I JUST SAID, "I SAW THE 'CATS' MOVIE AND BOUGHT A PUPPY.
AND THEY SAID-- AND THEY SAID, "NO DOCTOR'S LETTER REQUIRED." [ LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Jimmy: MOJITO CAN TRAVEL. MOJITO CAN TRAVEL WITH YOU CAN WE TALK ABOUT "BAD
CINDERELLA"? THIS IS YOUR NEW PROJECT, RIGHT HERE
HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO TAKE ON CINDERELLA FOR YOUR NEXT SHOW? WELL, IT'S A VERY LONG--
VERY LONG STORY. BUT IT'S WRITTEN BY EMERALD FENNELL WHO WROTE
"PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN." I'VE KNOWN HER FOR A-- FOR A WHILE.
I MEAN, SHE'S A, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS A BABY WHEN I FIRST KNEW HER.
BUT SHE HAD THIS IDEA TO DO A KIND OF ALTERNATIVE CINDERELLA
AND I LIKED THE IDEA I JUST THOUGHT IT'D BE FUN TO DO, BECAUSE IT'S A FUN STORY,
YOU KNOW AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE -
I DON'T KNOW, I JUST LET MY HAIR DOWN A BIT. Jimmy: YEAH

A SHOW, CAN YOU-- CAN YOU TALK ABOUT A SONG WELL, IT'S QUITE A GOOD
IDEA I WAS ONCE IN THE PENINSULA IN LOS ANGELES.
AND VERY LATE AT NIGHT, BECAUSE I WAS ON ENGLISH TIME, I WENT DOWN TO THE BAR.
AND IN THE BAR WAS FRANK SINATRA. AND I WENT OVER TO HIM, AND WE
SAID HELLO AND EVERYTHING. AND HE SAID THE ONE GREAT LINE OF MY CAREER -
THE GRAND PIANO IS AT THE OTHER END OF THE BAR AND HE SAID TO THE BARMAN,
"BRING ME THE GRAND PIANO. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ] SO, IF YOU'RE ABLE TO DO
