>> exactly. >> you'll get to see how it happened. i had a lot of respect for him. he was my boss. i looked at him like this older guy -- only four years older. >> picking the songs had to be difficult. because every time you hear a song, you say that one's got to be in that one's got to be in. how'd you narrow down? >> some are no brainers. the key is you're doing a show where in a musical, the music is what advances the story. and the way that alex our writer who won golden globes and oscars he did a phenomenal job. it seemed they were written for the story. and my friends said who wrote them? it's your life. but the way he uses them is incredible. >> is there going to be dancing? >> i sure hope so. they better. >> and i heard a rumor, i don't know if this is true that there will be beverages served? >> of course. >> what do you mean? >> mojitos. it's going to be great. >> we've got the cuban thing

going from the beginning of the show. >> and there are some broadway shows where they walk drinks around and sell them while you're sitting there. >> i don't know if that's going to happen. >> that would be good. here's what's exciting. you had to wonder who was going to play you. did you have any role in the casting? >> of course. no no we let the director do his job. jerry mitchell amazing award-winning director. but obviously, you know we had to have some kind of relationship. >> we're going to do a big reveal. this is happening on the "today" show right now. we'll reveal the two actors/singers/dancers playing you two. we have josh sigora and anna vili vilifana. you have been a gloria fan forever, right? >> yes. for as long as i can remember. i grew up 100%. i grew up performing her songs at talent shows. i actually went to her high school. >> yes, she did. >> and josh you're a big fan of

we are back at 8:45 kicking off a special week-long series

in the kitchen. dishes full of flavor and easy to put together. katie lee is co-host of the kitchen. good to see you. >> good morning. >> before we get to your recipe you're going to talk skillet. everyone has one or two of these. hi how are you? >> not everyone. >> hoda is sitting here. most people have one or two of these. are they created equal? >> no. everyone should have an iron skillet though. they're really inexpensive and they can last longer than a life time if you take care of it properly. >> all shapes and sizes. everybody talks about you need to season the skillet. how do you do that? >> most skillets are sold preseasoned but it's good to still continue to season it. so what you do, because cast iron is really porous you need to seal it with some fat. pour oil in. and then wipe it and put it into the oven for about an hour. then when it comes time to clean

it that's important because you don't want to use soap. this is kind of an untraditional cleaning meth. >> because that reverses everything you've done. >> yes. what you want to do is give it a quick wipe as soon as you're done using it while it's still warm. if something's stuck, take some salt and put it on there and use a soft sponge and scrub it off. then give it a quick rinse. moisture is the enemy here. you want to be sure it's bone dry when you put it away. give it another rub of oil, put it back in the oven for a couple of minutes and that will continue to season it and it will eventually become nonstick which a great. >> you are making something that screams summer. this is a blueberry peach skillet cobbler. >> exactly. i feel like after this endless winter i am praying for an endless summer. this takes me there. using an iron skillet, if you want to dump in the peaches. >> all of them?

>> they're not in season. do you use frozen? >> you can use frozen peaches. just thaw them. you can use any fruit you like. mix in some lemon juice there for me. >> got it. >> and i'm going to make the batter. i've got some flour here and some sugar. this is super simple. you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry. baking powder and a little bit of salt. you just mix that up. and then you want to add the milk. >> sure. you've got an egg there? >> no this is melted butter. put that in there. and this gets mixed up. and you'll see it's like a thicker batter. and just mix, mix mix. you want to get it kind of smooth but not over-mixed. just a little bit clumpy. then you dollop it right on top just like that. >> why do you have water boiling over there? >> the water boiling, this is a trick my grandma taught me. so you take sugar and corn starch and you just mix that up

and this goes on top of the batter and then you pour boiling water over it. >> why is that? >> the boiling water hits this corn starch and it starts to cook in the oven with the corn starch and makes a thick syrup. bring that over here. i put about half a cup. and this is going to -- see how it goes into the corn starch. this is going to be our syrup. >> one of the good things about skillets it goes right into the oven. >> it's oven to table presentation. the skillet stays hot. >> you cook it for how long? >> about 55 minutes to an hour. see how it's got that nice crunch to it? >> hoda's got some over there. give it a try. >> i will. >> you want some ice cream? >> sure. just a little. this kind of doubles as breakfast. >> katie. delicious. >> seems like she doubted you at first. >> i did not. >> you're a tough judge.

tell me what you think. >> it is delicious. it is fan it's a pick. katie lee, thank you. we have posted the recipe on today.com. more skillet recipes for you tomorrow. up next a live performance from train. but first on a monday morning, this is "today."

whole -- >> you know because if, in fact,ist damages the -- damages the tree you are responsible because it is their tree on their property. >> i believe what she says. >> she scares me. >> i like her. >> i would do everything she says. >> me too. question two i have custody of my 5-year-old daughter and my husband my daughter has known as her dad wants to adopt her. of his own free will his buy logical father has not been involved in her life going on five years. what can i do so my husband can adopt her. >> this is common this happens. a new stepfather that wants to adopt. it's not that easy, it's a process. they have to consent do a consent agreement that we agree. this biological father will have to voluntarily relying distinguish his pa airportal rights but not so fast buddy, that doesn't mean because you know what, i want to give up my rights i'm good to go. the courts don't go after that. the courts have to determine they're a good cause. now a step parent that wants to adopt that's involved in the child's life.

>> that has some play. >> usually considered. but it's -- >> find the husband the father. >> you're going to have to put up notice in the paper, you're going to have to wait. because people don't understand pa nernenity is a legal right. if you can't find the father and the court will have to take it from there. >> being a great father to her could be enough. >> absolutely. >> that's a hard thing to come by. >> something people should not relying be wish lightly. it's about the child. it ain't about you. it's about the child. >> my neighbor smokes cigarettes and the smell filters over to stink up my side of the duplex. sometimes around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. they drag stuff across the floor that sounds like they're moving furniture. i reported this to the landlord and he spoke with them and i also called the police twice about the noise. my next step is to move. any suggestions? >> we've all had a noisy neighbor, we've maybe been the noise owe neighbor in our lifetime. >> tobacco smoke. >> some states, it's considered
