'cause your kids are not old enough for "cabaret?" >> i mean in theory, seth, they're not. but the thing about "cabaret" is john candor wrote this music that is so catchy. >> seth: sure. >> and so my kids have been singing it since i've been working on it for the past six years which is horrendously inappropriate. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> but they -- they came and they -- they -- they're desperate to know like what i do. >> seth: yeah. >> you're doing "cabaret" and we've moved to new york for it -- >> seth: also, when you work in film, it is boring to go to a film set and it is an exciting experience for kids to go to a broadway show. >> exactly that. and so they -- and they you know, they were sort of too young when i was doing "fantastic beasts" which would be kind of kid friendly. they loved the idea of me being a wizard. but they came to work to see the

opening of "cabaret." to see "willkommen," and they just couldn't get their head around the fact that i was dressed in a party hat, basically at a party -- at a kid's party. [ light laughter ] they were like, "this is work?" they had that sort of baffled, confused -- yeah. [ light laughter ] >> seth: well, i should note like, if you -- i mean, usually if you're a kid and you walk in and see your dad dressed like this -- >> yeah. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: like -- you're not -- that's a thing you're not supposed to see. >> you know, it's funny you should say that. because i only get a little -- i'm basically on stage for most of the show. and i get like a five minute break at the end of the first act in which i'm dressed in this. and that's normally when i face time my wife and my kids. [ laughter ] and my daughter has said, "daddy, i can't see you like that. i didn't sleep last night." and i sort of get it, but um -- >> seth: that's very fair. this is an incredible -- again, such a wonderful show. there's this added element with this production. which is they have turned the entire theater into the kit cat club. the lobby is this immersive

experience. you get to see "cabaret" before the show even starts. everybody in the audience can have a shot of schnapps on their way into the theater. >> true, true. let's get them drunk. >> seth: yeah. [ light laughter ] >> that'll do it. >> seth: have you -- and then people have drinks during the show, and i heard tell that maybe you -- you'll stop by and maybe take a drink from an audience member. >> this is true, but i feel we should do one of your daytime drinking -- >> seth: yeah. >> -- at a matinee. >> seth: yeah. >> which is basically what happens -- [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: i'll go to a matinee. >> yeah so -- i've seen "cabaret" so many times. as i've said, it's my favorite musical and i've seen it done brilliantly. one of the things we wanted to do was make this thing that when you step off 52nd street into this kind of cavernous, sort of labyrinthine tunnels past bars and musicians, you kind of leave your troubles outside. but it means that we have -- you know, the audience is the other character in the piece. and we have some pretty amazing audience members.

>> seth: yeah. >> including -- and i get to kind of snake in and around the audience. and generally everyone has been so avuncular and wonderful. but occasionally, you get a special moment like the other evening when i was in sort of around some audience member and she turned to me and -- mid show asked me for a selfie. >> seth: yeah. [ laughter ] >> i was in my best sort of german accent and i was like, "you know what, this is probably not the moment. [ laughter ] perhaps you can come to stage door afterwards and then we can do --" but um -- >> seth: that's one where you're like," we've got to stop giving them schnapps. [ laughter ] this is on us. if we're giving them schnapps they're gonna ask." you -- you talked about how avuncular the audience can be. this is a show you did on the west end first? >> that's right. >> seth: so you have gotten to see the differences between a british audience and a u.s. audience with the same material. >> yeah. >> seth: how do you find the american audiences with it? >> well, without playing into kind of national stereotypes, the brits are definitely more buttoned up. and one of the things that i kind of love about american audiences, is this -- this -- like, when you come on stage you get a round of applause. >> seth: yeah. [ light laughter ]

>> for doing nothing. [ laughter ] which means as far as i'm concerned, it's a win from the start of the evening. >> seth: yeah. literally you get attendance applause. >> yeah, attendance applause. [ light laughter ] and some people say that can sort of wreck the -- the rhythm of the evening. i'm all for it. i'm like as much as possible -- >> seth: look, if you can stay in character when someone's asking for a selfie, you are good. i have a lot more to ask you. we will be with back with eddie after this.
