DREAMS Come True In NYC: Shark Is Broken Jaws Play, Empire State Building, Museum Of Broadway, Eats

we're in New York City [Music] baby hey man fam we're here in New York City for one day and we're going to make the most of it we are going to do a tour we've got a new show to see a museum you know we're going to have good eats and we're starting right here no not Starbucks let's go we are starting our day with a New York and World Landmark if we're being honest the Empire State Building I've actually never been here before have you yeah I've been here when did you come here uh

I came here a very long time ago and I only ever went up to the 86th floor for the little Observatory area the deck oh well there's 102nd floor Observatory now there are a variety ways to see the Empire State Building but you do have to have a ticket to get up to the observatories there are two observatories on the 86 and the and2 floor there are regular tickets that just get you up to one of them that start at $45 then you can get up to both of them for about 80 you can get

Express to skip the lines at the elevators or you can do the VIP experience this is actually what we booked it's $175 a person which is a lot but it's not that much more than just doing Express to get up to the two different observation decks and we are going to have a guide that takes us through front-of-the-line access it comes with souvenir photos and a private tour explaining details and history and fun facts about one of the most famous buildings in the world I'm super duper excited you know I love fun facts and I

can't wait to get up there and see New York we checked in the beautiful Lobby for the tour and just as a heads up this was a very small tour there's only two other people on it so the clips from this are going to be a mixture of VoiceOver we filmed afterwards based on notes we took as well as the audio we captured of the actual tour guide as a courtesy to the other guests when it was originally built the Empire State Building was 1250 ft tall now it is 1454 ft with an antenna added

in 1962 for radio and TV stations and within it there are 77 operating elevators the craziest part about this is that the Empire State building was built in a year and 45 days that's 4 and 1 half stories a week which is just mindboggling and 45 days we had six deaths since we join the construction of this people di so all is 92 years old and this the ceiling is made out of [Music] car the symbol for the restoration of our marble we did the ceiling we restored our marble it is original marble but we

restored it okay each piece is matching each other we call it match Oh Yeah from 1931 and we still use these mailboxes today lo and behold the Empire State Building has its own ZIP code so we do not share our ZIP code with across the street next door we have our own wow okay so when you mail a letter from here it will have the Empire State Building zip code on it Rita just told us it's going to take three elev people all over the world walked into this building this is what they saw we

were once the tallest building in the world for over 40 years and then the Twin Towers took over for 5 years they have we are not even the tallest building in New York anymore so we have the Freedom Tower which is a new World Trade Center and we have the Central Park Tower which is a residential building on Central Park West that is taller than us this is Conneticut Pennsylvania New Jersey and of course New York City there is your anomer what the building is made of limestone from Indiana you say healthy Empire State that's

right yes that's what the outside of this building made it is2 years old located at the top of the first floor Lobby there were 13 plaques showcasing the different Trad used to build the Empire State Building from things like ston workking to electricians to plumbing and what's fascinating is that at times there were over 3,400 trades people on site building this building this AT&T store they turned it into a toy store for Elf we just found out they had to take the buttons out of the elevators because that movie cuz everybody would do the thing

and go it looks like a Christmas tree on the observatory elevators when an alarm goes off we know exactly where that alarm is by looking at this before this is the old things would light up and we would have have to search it out okay so what happens is our elevators are recalled to the lobby no one can get on the elevators until the fire department clears it sometimes it could be a false alarm sometimes not but we know exactly where the fire is the alarm is it could be a very small whatever it is

that brings up the alarm after the first floor we went up to a small Museum that had things like blueprints schematics the survey marker there was a really cool time-lapse video watching the Empire State Building be built we learned more here about how it was constructed and the different people that worked on it and there was a fun photo op with the famous picture of the guys having their lunch up on the beams we got to see the inner workings of the original elevator here as well as step into the original that have been put

on display and this is what you saw as you were riding up to the 102nd floor it would tell you how many feet you were going 1250 ft 102 FL while the elevator today that we have have tells you how many feet how many Meers and what Flor you're going to look down oh now look up so most shots that you see have cable ped out because of the elevator not here our cables are on the side so you have smooth ride all the way up the museum continued with which companies offices in the buildings

as well as the most famous building in the world and how it's appeared in pop culture including a fun photo op with its most famous appearance we actually learned that King Kong was a marketing Ploy by the Empire State Building because of the Great Depression and let's say it worked so now we have Empire State realyy trust so this man right here Mr Anthony Malin who is my boss but before it was him his dad his wife and his mother wow four that the Empire State Building it was in a family thing it was generated

from a family so we use a remote for our elevators as you see she has in her hands we use to operate our elevators waa she's in charge she's in charge after our first long elevator ride we made a stop on the 86th floor this is where the outdoor Observatory is but we came back to that in a little bit what we did do is check out the artwork done by Steven witshire he is an autistic artist from the UK who uses his photographic memory to draw landscapes look at this picture of New [Music] York

wow 5 days and he drew it days memory from a 45-minute helicopter ride I was totally impressed artistic we got back on the elevator and made it all the way up to the 102nd floor for the 360° view of New York City wow this this is amazing look there's the Statue of Liberty all the way out there there's the financial district in front of us the one Tower relax okay there's a flood iron building in the middle of the street oh oh yeah that's a good FL eye building right there it it was the first

uh skyscraper in New York City these are very important Bridges if you think of the acronym BMW you will always remember your Bridges so we're going to start with the right to the left behind the Brown building that little brown building we have what we call our Brooklyn Bridge the one with the tower in front of it is the Manhattan Bridge and this one is the Williamsburg Bridge is New Jersey on the Hudson on the Hudson River on the west this is the Hudson River right here and this is the East River right here over

here we have the Chrysler Building who we were in competition with when we were being built the one with this fire you see it that's the Chrysler Building we're taller than that bridge yes we definitely taller tallest building over here that was the first tall Residential Building to be built on that side that's straight up and down one straight up and down one that looks like a Rubik's Cube yeah inside it is called the reservoir the Jackie's Reservoir and the park is called Central Park so that's how good you can see it from above 102

floors you will not see it like that when you get to the 86th floor behind Central Park you're going to see Yankee Stadium we headed back down to the 86th floor Observatory which was really cool because we got to see not only the city but how big the antenna was and Rita took some great photos and after our wonderful tour throughout the Empire State Building We Now find ourselves in the gift shop it's the official store because what would an attraction be without a gift shop true got the the classic iHeart New York collection which

I'm going to be honest go to any gift shop on the street and not this but what I don't think you can find at the gift shops on the street uh King Kong taking a selfie the the King Kong collection that is nice but I think do do we need this I don't think so but why so nice I do like that under the Empire memory sign it's um The Avengers cuz we all remember the time they destroyed New York they did do that a memories I don't need another mug but I do like this

marble looking one okay let's be real you'd get this one oh the big version I didn't even see that oh do I need this gigantic mug for your half pot of coffee in the morning that is nice really leaning into the King Kong thing yes they are Yep this is probably my favorite thing we've seen so far is they have a whole collection with the Steven Wiltshire artwork on it that we saw upstairs there's t-shirts mugs prints and postcards if you wanted to take home that amazing artwork I think there might be more Kong merch

here than in a theme park that's quite possible they really like King Kong here which you know what they should and you know what I really like this I mean it is his origin story that's amazing it's Rita she's here she was the best that was really really fun now I've never been to the Empire State Building I've seen it obviously uh but going up to the top to the 102 floor and having a private tour overlooking everything I mean what of you and I've been here before but only to the 86 floor in the

observatory not to the 102nd uh and just a massive shout out to reita who was our guide is this store expensive yes but to have somebody take you up to the 102nd floor show you all the buildings around this 360 view of New York City uh to have the photos included that you get taken I mean it was just it was just breathtaking plus not only did we get like the souvenir photos but Rita knows the angle she knows where to pose for pictures and she got some of the best pictures that we have I

think obviously the tour like Al said is expensive but you should come to the Empire State Building if you're coming to New York I mean it's a classic New York thing it's been it's like my fifth trip here and I'm finally doing it I would say regardless I would have booked the express if we going to do the tour just because it does get very very busy it's the number one tourist attraction in the world so you can be waiting in a long line to get to those observatories but there's an Express option that allows

you to go in a shorter line for the elevators um the one thing I didn't love about the tour is that we don't get to see all the exhibits in their fullest extent but we had like a private guy telling us what to look at but we didn't get to like look through all the little things and stuff but it was really cool it was amazing and now I'm hungry I'm also hungry food yes are we eating in the Empire State Building yes so if you want to eat somewhere in the Empire State Building you

can book a reservation they have a couple different restaurants inside of here we have a reservation for tacombi which is a Mexican taco restaurant um I read a bunch of reviews online a lot of people enjoy it there's a bunch of different taces around New York um and a few other places as well but obviously we want to eat at the one here we also are mailing our postcard that we got on the tour in the mailbox because Rita our amazing guide told us that the Empire State Building has its own ZIP code so now

when it arrives to us it'll be stamped from the Empire State Building tac's menu is unique in that they give you a sheet to fill out and you add how many of each item you'd like they've got starters like guacamole and cises they're known for their tacos and tostadas they have a variety of different proteins and toppings they've got quesadillas burritos as well and then a slew of craft cocktails including of course Margaritas another tequila mes C Beverages and if you couldn't tell we were pretty hungry so we started with the corn eses then picked

up the beef Bia Taco al pastor Carnitas carasa the avocado tostada and the Baja crispy fish tacos we also na the norta quesadilla and then for beverages Molly picked up a spicy Margarita and I nabbed a Paloma the corn esquites were delicious there was plenty of cheese and a nice spicy sauce over the top of it and the corn was cooked wonderfully also the portion size was not small there was plenty to share I really enjoyed this as a starter kicking off the taco experience with the beef Bia tacos this Savory spicy biscuit recipe from

halisco with the Alou was so good it might be my favorite Taco of the bunch with the hearty broth the delicious meat that's just so tender and juicy it was just so rich and delicious I'm actually salivating now and dreaming about this taco and I also tried the carneada which is Sonoran style thinly sliced beef this was very tasty and light certainly a change from the beef Bia Taco I really enjoyed this it just tasted very fresh and clean up next I had the Carnitas Taco which was slow roasted pork that I was told was

roasted in beer it was so juicy and moist and you could taste a little bit of that beer coming through paired with cilantro and the vegetables on the taco this one in the top three for my first Taco well not ever but here was the Baja crispy fish this is beer battered Pacific Cod it's got a crem on top as well as some crispy vegetables this was actually voted the best fish taco in New York City by the New York Times and oh my gosh I can tell why the fish is light and crispy even

with that batter it's not too heavy you've got the crema that adds a little bit of brightness as well as the vegetables to add a crunch this was fantastic fresh lime squeezed on top I could have eaten like four of just these tacos also per the recommendation of the manager tried the alastor taco this is a Mexico City Style marinated pork it comes with pineapple I'm not even the biggest pineapple fan but this was fantastic this is that taco with the big meat Co that you can see back in the kitchen it was light it

was juicy and when you added that Smoky Chipotle housemade salsa on top this was an awesome awesome Taco I would recommend this one too here's the avocado tostada which is got avocado beans queso fresco and pickled red onions on top everything here is fresh and delicious the avocados were perfect and I love the acidity from the pickle red onions that said I did prefer the tacos over the Tado at the end of the day and lastly tried the norta quesadilla which is similar to the carada Taco it's the Sonoran style thinly sliced beef it had

some cheese and some crma on top this was the most unique quad ever gotten cuz it was served open face so I kind of folded it over into a half quesadilla half Taco situation this was very good similar flavor again to the carne aada however I don't prefer this presentation as much as I did the tacos so while the flavor was excellent next time I'm just going to get tacos I picked up the Paloma to drink which was tequila and fresh grapefruit juice and you could certainly tell it was fresh grapefruit because of the bite

it had I really enjoyed this and I would 100% try again for how light and refreshing it was I enjoyed the spicy Margarita which lived up to its name it was a classic like simple lime Margarita and had just enough hit where I could taste the spice but it wasn't overdone it really balanced out the natural sweetness from the cocktail this was a very good nothing super exciting but very classic and solid [Music] drink well that was a delicious lust so delicious I love the sauces so much that I put one in my bag just

kidding the manager gave it to me he came over to ask how the food was and we were raving about it and I was raving about this Chipotle salsa and then he came back with a bottle as a surprise which is very very sweet so toomi highly recommend there's many locations around the city but Del very tast and now we are on to our next venture the Museum of Broadway it's up there there up there we're going to go inside and as the name would suggest the Museum of Broadway is a museum dedicated to Broadway

including the props and costumes and some interactive exhibits all about some of the wonderful shows that have graced the stages of Broadway over the years tickets to the Museum of Broadway start at $34 and you'd have to select a time slot to visit the museum but you can upgrade to a small fee and have the flex pay ticket in come whenever you'd like these play bills have every show running on Broadway right now we've seen that one seen this one but not on Broadway saw that one in Orlando seen that one seen that one maybe

over here's a hint to what we're doing later today it's going to be jawsome this is really cool almost 15 million people went to Broadway shows in 2018 to 2019 that'd be the year before the pandemic and it says that 35% of that audience is local this is the wildest $4.7 billion are contributed to the New York City econ economy because of Broadway and almost 100,000 jobs moving through some of the exhibits this is from 1891 my brain like does not comprehend such a the 150th performance of men and women these costumes are 116 years

old they're from the theater that Disney's in charge of they signed a 99e contract with them and they found them there they're from 1907 they beautiful look at how like intricate all the beating is wow here's a costume as well as pages from Showboat including an original program from the 1920s and now we have moved into a display showing a lot of different photos and programs and as well as it looks to be some fields of Roger and Hammerstein's Oklahoma feel like I'm vising my you feel like you're at home and after learning a little

bit more about when the tonies were created in 1947 and whom they were created for we we found ourselves here in Westside Story what do you got that feels like original Coro with the toe tou this is just really cool to see represented and here is Don gy Des scrip of Westside Story from 1960 that's amazing as well is Don gridley's jacket almost as amazing as this we've got a costume piece from Hello Dolly here the headpiece was worn by uh winfer Sanderson herself b mler as well as mother gothal Donna Murphy and the wicked

want to show you every single plaque and that's not fun to look at on camera plus we don't want to spoil all the details in the museum if you want to come here yourself but I will give you a rundown of this cabaray section right here it tells the tale of a woman uh named Moira Rose and how she's in a small town and decides to revive the small town musical so she has her future son-in-law as well as uh the owner of the motel and her husband's business partner come team up for a rendition

of Cabaret and Stevie bud just knocks it out of the park surprising everyone um and that is the historical significance of Cabaret so I've taken the mic back because that didn't feel like what I read on the plaque uh we're going to dive into the 60s let the sunshine hair we took a moment to learn a little bit about Steven sa time and really perform admir on an anagram but now we are celebrating company with Molly really showing us her choreography skills truly a dancer you know what I would never have guessed I would never

cats oh wow look at all the sketches growl tiger unfortunately one of the Siamese cats yeah unfortunately we have no Rum Tum tugs or Mr must no but we do have mavity mavity mavity I love cats mostly the movie but about to take a turn in the mood here just for a moment it seems like uh learning a little bit more about Lea FIS which I sorry I definitely am pronouncing incorrectly but um this was a play written about uh being out and celebrating love regardless of who it was with and as I read more

it talks about how it uh coin uh coincidentally came out around the beginning of the AIDS epidemic so we're moving into a little section about that the AIDS epidemic hit the theatrical Community hard we prematurely lost an entire creative class of people the names on the wall are many of those that we lost to AIDS and related illnesses you would go into rehearsal and before you could get to previews friends colleagues and co-workers would have disappeared many became sick and landed in the hospital some would come out many more would not o learning a little

bit more about um Broadway cares the nonprofit that works with Broadway to this day o sobering for sure pH I hear the Phantom Alan Allan is excited we're into the Andrew Lloyd Weber section [Music] yeah we are here we go more cats what the people want give the people what they want it's more cats get excited Alan he's right there this is so much wider than I thought it was that's so cool am I just big or is Christine small no she's very small wow this is so if you're unaware Phantom is Allen's favorite musical

they actually came up earlier this year to see it before it closed on briadway after being the longest running show in history this is awesome these costumes are really cool oh and the little monkey the music box so every single crystal in this installation represents a show of Fant that was performed on Broadway and its 35e run including previews that's 13,99 performances amazing this crystal display that shows the mask when you look at it just right is like the coolest thing in this Museum so far except for one thing the Phantom shoes just look at

those he is an icon of of style and design and being a grade a creep but at least he's got sty is doing it now you cannot defend the Phantom he is a great a creep and up next we have rent someone's [Music] excited rent is one of Molly's favorite shows so she's just living at the moment as we walk through all of the beautiful costumes and some of these just delightful bits of learning about the show as if we as if it couldn't be topped next we have The Lion King all of the set

pieces The Masks the puppets are so stunning I mean look at [Music] this what could be next now we did enjoy the blanking instram filter oh the producers this is cool we're in the office this is awesome and then we've got o a whole collection of things I think this is from a variety of things yep I see an Elsa braid the more you go to the theater and the more you hear stories that aren't necessarily familiar with the more you open you become to embracing other perspectives you know what I think that is beautiful

Glen close in sunet Boulevard was hand Beed and this one back here from the share m musical was designed by Bob Mackey because he did all of shar's costumes for her performances so he came back and did them for the musical too shall we thank you we're headed into the making of a Broadway show now so from what happens on stage to what happens backstage now we are taking a look at what it takes to actually make a Broadway show run behind the scenes with all the production stage management prop movement oh my gosh the

sound cues I'm just so fascinated by all of this as well oh we have a whole host of props cup and Spoon goblet what's your favorite prop fish oh I like mering on plate or clam basket and now we've moved into the musician composer Lyricist section of the museum I just find this entire process fascinating as does Molly reading through some of the music but here on the wall we have uh the book music and lyrics from Rent Little Shop of Horrors oh look at that Howard Ashman and Alan minin Wicked and The Sound of

Music wow this is incredibly fascinating I love how have a pile of just scrap paper from all the ideas that these folks went through to make this stuff happen also on the walls there are interviews of famous playwrights and composers moving to our next kind of behind the scenes room we're learning about lighting projection sound tools choreography all of the things that have to happen to make a show this museum is really excellent at being interactive and immersive there's lots of tactile things there's lots of things to look at it's really really well done in

here and here's the important stuff all the different blood you could use so that's cool gooey eye blood mouth blood okay to eat dries tough to scrape off good for Aged wounds we love an AG wound here we have the life cycle of a Broadway show from writing to building the creative team building the show getting it out of town on Broadway and then what happens afterwards in this case is a High School production we love that what a cool representation for the life cycle of a show I'm learning about the life cycle of a

Broadway show and Molly's in here dancing to Chicago and of course we end in a gift shop that has not only gifts that souvenirs you can purchase from the ACT Museum but also from shows that are currently on Broadway Harry Potter Hamilton MJ Wicked etc etc etc this is the second time today I found a coffee mug that's an appropriate size but I'm I'm holding out for the next trip when I can buy that baby Simba in The Coffee Mug overall I had a great time at the Museum of Broadway I wasn't 100% sure what

to expect but I loved all the different costumes and set pieces and learning more about some of my favorite musicals and plays as well as getting insired to see some others there's just so much history packed in that Museum and you could lose so much time reading all the different plaques going from Vaudeville all the way to today that said I don't know if this is as much of a Musto as some of the other experiences we've had in New York I think the Museum of Natural History may have more of a wide appeal I

think spyscape was really fun and interactive I think there are historic sites that are really interesting as well however if you've been to New York a couple of times and are looking for something to do for a few hours or you're just a massive Broadway fan I really think I think you'll enjoy this Museum and speaking of Broadway we have our own thing we have to go get prepped for yeah we do it's going to be jome oh okay it's GNA be fantastic you know you yeah it's gonna be I think I'm out um but

you know we can Workshop it we will Workshop it uh we are headed back to change and we will see you in a moment ready for the show but first a quick bite to eat a quick bite to eat for dinner we made a quick stop at patzeria Perfect Pizza this is a pizza joint right across from the Richard Rogers Theater which is where Hamilton plays it's a classic New York pizza shop ordered by the slice and what's available is what's available I really like the white pizza with or without the spinach and it's a

great place to stop and get something quick to eat on your way to the theater delicious pizza filling our bellies and we have finally made it to the reason for this visit we are at the John golden theater to see the shark is broken and yes it is that shark the shark is broken is a play written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon and it is about the making of Jaws because notoriously the production of Jaws was terrible the shark wouldn't work they went a 100 days over timeline Spiel workers panicked but what's really special

about this show is that Ian Shaw who wrote this play stars in it as Robert Shaw his father who's quint in Jaws so this is like as close as you can get to seeing Robert Shaw perform at this point cuz he passed away in the 70s I have been geeking out about the show since I found out about it it debuted in London a few years ago then the pandemic hit and went to endoro went to Toronto and now it's finally here in New York City I'm so so so excited to see it geeking out

right now and what's even better is we may have a little surprise after the show are you excited yes it's going to be jawesome fantastic I'm out Alan what who's your favorite of the J oh sorry Britney's playing a moment for [Music] Britney Alan quick question who's your favorite of the Jaws Trio Quint are you just saying that cuz it okay cuz mine's Brody but if anyone asks it's quit Oh no just I think I think you would be okay with that I'm so excited to see this for many many reasons obviously Ian Shaw it's

about jaw there's a bunch of Easter eggs apparently on the Orca set that's the ship uh that's the set there's already Easter eggs outside there's a photo of the of the three main cast members that are recreating a promo photo for Jaws where they're in the teeth of a great white shark alongside Ian Shaw you've got Alex Brightman who plays Richard dfus who's playing Matt Hooper it's a little meta in that way musical theater fans may know him as having wanat Tony for his role in Beetlejuice the title role there and then you've also got

Colin Dole who's playing Roy shider who plays Chief Brody I I'm like giddy right now how excited are you you know what as excited as I am I'll never be as excited as you are that's probably true but I'm so excited and I'm glad you're here and I'm glad for here and Ian Shaw's in there I'm play about jws it's the dream we're headed in obviously we can't film the show but we'll see you after for a fun surprise we just saw the show and it was so good what a great story about those three

men I am that was just I'm having a hard time putting it to words all I know is that I enjoyed it immensely I'm trying to understand if you would enjoy it if you aren't as a DieHard Jaws fan I think yes but they make a lot of references to things and people in the movie that and the behind the scenes of the movie they make references to Carl gotle and Joe ales and step Spielberg of course and all the people that zanic and brown that wrote and produced and directed the movie which I don't

think if you aren't a Die Hard Jaws fan you would catch those but I don't know that that matters I think the themes of the player still really accessible a lot of it's about sort of a fatherson dynamic which was unexpected for me um and how you contend with egos in the same room it was really cool to watch play out as a theme itself yeah they explored addiction and ego like you said and kind of questioning what we are as people and fame and like a lot more than just is this mechanical shark going

to work today of for this movie but and they it's really meta and they make some really funny jokes like at one point Colin Donald who plays Roy shider who plays Chief Brody is like they better not make a second one and if they do I'm definitely not going to be in it which he is yeah he he was contractually obligated to be in that so it's funny but I think the coolest part about what we got to do was uh go on go on we got to interview Colin Donald who played Roy shider and

Ian Shaw who plays his father Robert Shaw who was was quint in the movie so I'm going to let uh past Molly take it away here so we are here with Ian Shaw who wrote the play as well as portrays his father in in the show and so a quick question you have so many mannerisms similar to your dad and does that come from reading his Diaries from watching the movie Jaws over and over or just knowing your dad or just genetics do you think some of it from from watching my dad and some of

it is Gen I think you know um yeah but mostly from watching his performances in all his films yeah do you have a special memory I know in the program they gave us that little insert where you had a photo of you as a young child uh sneaking on with Bruce do you have a memory from the Jaw set oh I remember you know meeting Bruce just most of the times film sets aren't that exciting when you're 5 years old it's very exciting when you meet you know a Shar so yeah uh that that was

[Laughter] going on the set and is there a moment in I also remember meeting Sten Spielberg actually was he nice he was very nice I just thought he was a bit too young to be telling my dad what to do that's funny and um do you have a favorite moment in both the movie as well as the play my favorite moment in the movie is when my dad is singing to uh Hooper Richard D Welling to do Fair Spanish ladies say he's going to die in cage um my I don't have a favorite bit in

the play I think that would be um unfair because it might be my bit or Joseph Nixon's bit well it was amazing as a Jaws fan it was incredible uh thank you very much for chatting with us Ian thank you so much so were you a Jaws fan prior to doing this play I mean I was I don't think that I knew it as well as I thought I did before we started to get into it but like because it's just one of those movies that's in everybody's head and you think that you know it

so well but then going back and watching it again I was like I I missed so much or misremembered so much but I mean it's such a great film and like the fact that it was the first of its kind for so many reasons and it I mean 50 years later almost it's still such a great movie and it's one thing to be an actor playing a character but you're an actor playing a character who's playing a character yes what's the difference I guess in preparing for something like that I think that we we really

were trying to capture who they were as human beings offset or you know because it's not so much that I'm playing Chief Brody and Jaws I'm playing uh Roy shider as a man um and so luckily for us there was a lot of you know there's so much uh footage of them giving interviews as themselves you know they're not in character I mean obviously I've seen a lot of Roy's work on on film and it's such a brilliant career but it was really cool to see what he was like in interviews and and read about

him and and just see you know the kind of person that he was and how he you know joked around and was fascinated with little facts and things like that it was great um and you Chief Brody and Roy rder kind of plays the mediator between Hooper and Quinn in the movie was do you think that was the same on set that he was kind of the mediator between Richard Robert as well yeah I mean I think from what we know of you know we're taking a stab at uh what the reality was as best

we can certainly and I think Joseph and and Ian did a great job with the material that they had uh but you know Roy was kind of the consumate professional um and uh both Richard and and uh and Robert were such outsized personalities that I think he knew that he kind of had to be that stayed um consumate professional to be able to sort of wrangle them in honestly and last question do you have a favorite part in both the movie and the play uh I think in the movie it's when he's going with the

bat it's fantastic get to really see him let loose and I mean we we have our own moment here in the play spoiler I'm in a speedo so I wouldn't call it like necessarily my f but it is wonderful to have that moment of you know seeing Roy lose his cool finally after being so um solid throughout the whole thing yeah well it was wonderful thank you very much thanks I've peeed I don't know what I don't know what else does anybody who knew Walt Disney want to talk to us next like Bob G you

around because we'll we'll interview we uh we reached out to the shark's broken team and uh um they were kind enough to accommodate and arrange some time for us to interview some of the casts and go see the show tonight so thank you thank you thank you times of million I mean tears in my eyeballs when Ian Shaw walked on stage and after our interview I don't think I could speak after I talked to him I can confirm there was some some difficulty speaking so amazing and uh now I think to end the night I

have booked us a night cap at a very very cool bar with a very cool view of the city so let's go right for cocktails this evening we headed to Deer Irving on Hudson which is located on the top floors 40th and 41st of the Elise hotel near Time Square it's a penthouse Style Bar that's got floor to ceiling Windows as well as an open air patio it's kind of got a James Bond Art Deco throwback Vibe as well as great cocktails and food the bar menu is filled with a variety of craft cocktail specializing

in Gin and bourbon they also have a variety of elevated bar snacks including things like the wakami and avocado bow bun The Lobster guacamole and a cro mure I picked up the stage name which is Elijah Craig small batch Bourbon a dash of ferum grand Classico gford passion fruit and angas of bitters this is their take on an oldfashioned and while I did enjoy it it's a little bit sweeter than I prefer you get a lot of that fruit flavor and then a little bit of sugar coming through so it doesn't have the bite I'm

used to in an old fashioned it was very very tasty but not something I'd order again and I picked up the Whiskey Business which besides having a great name is wild turkey Ry anoes lemon cinnamon and Bitters it's described as a whiskey backbone with a smoke Pepper pop and while I could definitely taste the whiskey it had that classic burn on the throat of a strong whiskey drink and I could taste the cinnamon and lemon I wanted a little bit more of the chili it was a good cocktail though but honestly when you're paying to

go somewhere like this you're going for the view out on the Terrace it was absolutely incredible we could see the Empire State Building we could see the Chrysler Building New York City is so beautiful all it up so even though these weren't the best cocktails I've ever had not even the best cocktails I've had in New York I would would recommend visiting here for the view [Music] alone well friends that brings us to the end of another wonderful stay in New York so what was your favorite part Pizza no Jaws obviously I eat a jaw

yeah I think the shark is broken is 100% going to be the highlight of this trip I mean we also did have great pizza we also went and had some amazing Mexican food some great tacos we an amazing view and tour guide at the Empire State Building and SP a good time at the Museum of Bradway it's a good trip I love this city it is always a fun time whenever we come to New York and I I just there's always more to do too so there is so much more to do in New York
