"you've opened an account here and here and here." they wanted payment. and it was payment for things that i did not do. >> i was hit with 12 different cases of identity theft within three days. how did somebody get ahold of my identity and become me? >> you see those movies about identity theft and, you know, someone living an alternate life and taking over, and i was scared. she had my home address, she had my telephone number, she had my social security number, and she was able to make a purchase for $8,000. >> someone got ahold of my driver's license number and obobined tickets pretending to be me, giving my information to

my employer told me that i had seven days to clear it up or i would be unemployed. i had to prove that i was innocent because, to them, i'm looking guilty as if i have number makes you a target. >> crime is s anging. criminals have moved into cyber crime because they know the risk's low to them and the payoff is much higher. >> announcer: over 100 million americans have had their personal data exposed, and there's a new victim of identity fraud every 2 seconds. >> we're all vulnerable to identity theft, unfortunately. for r vvy consumers who really want to safeguard their overall financial wellbeing, you have to

>nnouncer: find out m me about what a lifelock membership means to you and meet some of the lifelock identity protection agents ready to answer your questions, to help resolve identity-theft problems, and to keep watch over your private information. >> you have this whole team of people on your side, and you it alone. i don't know what i would have done without lifelock. >> when i first got the alert from lifelock, my reaction was actually, "ha ha, i got you." since i'd been alerted and lifelock was helping me resolve the issue, whoever was doing that wasn't going to be able to benefit. >> i was a victim of identity theft, and it wasn't fun. i was on my own. i had no idea what to do. and it was a terrible feeling. but it wasn't as bad as when it happened to my daughter, who was 7 at the time. somebody had stole her social security number. i was furious. i was concerned about her futurere and d i contacted lifelock because i had heard about them.

and it was the best thing i ever did. >> announcer: now let's join lifelock member tom joden to learn more about identity theft, the fastest growing crime in america. with tom is former fbi agent and renowned speaker jeff lanza, an expert in fraud, cyber crime, and identity theft. >> jeff, thanks for being here. >> you're weweome. >> you know, 10 yeyes ago, i didn't even think ababt identity theft, but then, unfortunately, i became a victim. and now we hear that it's the fastest growing crime in america. why is that? >> a couple of reasons why it's the fastest growing crime in america -- number one, it's easy to commit, and the bad guys know that. the second reason is, it's very lucrative. so once they get your information, especially your social security number, then it's easy to convert that into cash, to monetize that information. and once that happens, the victim is left with a lot of problems. >> i think most people think if they have a problem, their bank or credit card company will just take care of it for them, right?

if the problem is credit card fraud, someone used your existing credit card numder or cloned your card, yeah, the bank will take care of that. but that's just one part of the problem of identity theft. there's a much broader problem, and that is when someone steals your identity entirely. they've got your i.d., they've got your social security number, they apply for these accounts in your name. you don't even know it's happening. you may not figure it out until you get a call from a bill collector, a credit card company that says you're past due on a credit card that you don't even know you had. >> so when you're on your own, you're kind of just blind that this is happeninin'cause there's no one out therereooking out for you. >> that's exactly right. you know, we have our jobs, we have our family, we have our life. do you want to take hours out of your day, maybe for days and weeks at a time, to try to gure out how to corrqct the problems that the identity thief caused? if you were gonna do all that, i don't know how much time it would take or even where you would begin to do that. you don't have the technology to do that. >> so, in general, the advice you would give -- what can we do to protect ourselves? >> the earlier identity theft gets detected, the sooner you

it from getting worse, and that's where lifelock comes in. they deal with this every day. >> when jennifer learned a fraudulent account was opened in her name, she thought she could easily deal with it on her own. >> so herere am trying to call d prove that i'm the real nnifer, and they jususdon't believe me. i probably talked to six or seven people. each time i'd have to repeat my story. "i did not sign up for this credit card. i don't owe you any money." that person says, "well, i can't help you, but let me transfer you to this person," and it's just so aggravating. it's like, "just send me to the right peon." i almost got to the point where i was like, "let me pay for this $400 and just close the account and let's be done," but the thing is, there were other credit cards out there. you just don't know how deep it goes. when my lifelock agent got involved, somehow she knew exactly who to talk to. i never figured out that, but she knew exactly who to talk to. and she helped me take care of it. >> we work, shop, even pay bills almost anywhere. it's great, but it can also make us more vulnerable to identity theft.

like a hacker. he's been featured on investigative reports revealing where we're ththmost vulnerable to c cer crime. >> no one thinks they're gonna fall v vtim to identity theft, but check this out. in a caf\ like this, you know, people have this idea that they're safe when they're online. they feel it's being provided by the local caf\ here, so it should be safe. the reality is, though, that something like this -- this is a wi-fi device -- can be brought to a local caf\, set up right he in front of people without them even knowing it, and instead of them connecting to the wi-fi in the organization, they'll be connecting to this wi-fi device instead. what if they type in login credentials? i've got them. if they type in a password, i've got it. if they type in credit card information, i'll get that, as well. all of this information can be captured by the criminal, and then they can use that information to commit identity theft. i do these scams to show people what's going on out there. criminals are continually finding new ways to rip people off. and the bottom line is, you need

that's why lifelock makes so much sense. >> these real lifelock members all volunteered to share their experience in this show. stay tuned to hear more true stories, learn more about how identity thieves work, and find out how lifelock can help protect your identitit >> announcer: idenenty theft is the fastest growing crimimin america. are you at risk? you could be if you bank or shop online, have health insurance or fill out medical forms, if you have a smartphone or use public wi-fi,i,ven if you file your taxes online. no matter how careful you are, your social security number and your other personal information is out there out of your control. just detecting the problem is not enough. how do you resolve an issue if you have one? >> i signed up for lifelock. we have someone in our corner to help fight that fight. >> announcer: a lifelock membership means you have a whole team of lifelock identity-protection agents ready

>> it's something that's out of control. i can't protect my identity all the time with everything that i do. bad people are gonna get your information whether you want them to or not. i have really a teammate in lifelock knowing that they're keeping an eye out for things, things that i couldn't do myself, and having them on my side, and it really is that [sighs] i can just relax and take one worry off my plate. >> the technology behind cyber crime is extensive, but what about lifelock's technology to protect you? well, dr. stephen coggeshall, lifelock's chief analytics and science officer, is here to explain how lifelock's proprietary technology is helping fight identity fraud. dr. coggeshall, thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> tell me about lifelock's proprietary technology. >> well, we do a variety of things. and what we do is really cool. we go to our more than a trillion data elements in our data bank. we'll look at all the other things it's connected to in the world, all the other applications we see, we look at what's going on at the address,

social security number, is there something strange about that e-mail? and we gather all that information together and put it through some pretty complicated mathematical formulas, and we come up with a probability score, the likelihood that that's a fraud attempt. >> and then you alert me as a lifelock customer if you see something out of the ordinary? >> that's correct. if a member gets an alert, they have the opportunity to say, "oh, yeah, that's me." but if it's not them, if they're sitting home watching tv and they get one of these alerts, they can press a button and contact lifelock, and we start the process of shutting that fraud attempt down. lifelock started from the very beginning specifically to protect our members from identity fraud. that's our reason for existence. >> my cellphone goes off at just past 6:00 a.m. and it's a text alert from lifelock. someone attempted to use my name and social security number to open a credit card. they filled out an application online with a $10,000 limit. lifelock caught it, notified me, and we were able to stop that credit card from ever being

early enough in the processing phase. >> when your identity's been stolen, you want a knowledgeable, trusted friend on your side to get you out of the mess, and this is the big difference between monitoring your own credit and lifelock. a lifelock membership means you have a whole team of identity-protection agents ready to watch for threats to your identity, to answer your questions, and to help resolve identity-theft problems. lifelock members like me get a dedicated agent based right here in the u.s. to help resolve any threats to your identity. meet identity-protection agents daniel, pua, and sarah. they're part of a team of agents who address identity threats and help lifelock members if an identity theft occurs. what happens when a member gets an alert? i mean, when do you get involved, and how does that work? >> once our members notify us that it was not them, that they believe it's identity theft, is when we get started. then you'll speak to somebody like me, and i'll call you and i'll assist you through the whole process. >> we know who to call, what documents are needed, and we get it done much quicker than a

>> i know the questions to ask, i know the people to talk to, i know the numbers to call, and i can make it just so much easier for you. and i'm also willing to stay on hold for you if you need. >> wait a minute. say that again? >> yeah, i'm willing to stay on hold as long as it takes on your behalf if necessary. >> 'cause that is the worst part -- staying on hold. >> it is. [ chuckles ] but i'm happy to do it. >> you're happy to do it? >> yes. i am. >> now, sarah, i know that you are a veteran. you, i assume, work with a lot of veterans and people in the armed services. >> i do. up until a couple years ago, social security number was on identification cards. it's sad that people fighting for our country have to worry about that, but we are more than happy to help and see them through it, to carry the burden, and that way they can focus on the mission, and that's why i love what we do. >> and when you go home, sarah, at the end of the day, what makes you say, "that was a good day"? >> i love when i close a case. i love it.

can't wait to call my member, it really is just gratifying knowing that taking the burden and helping them through the process and being able to make that phone call, "hey, your case is closed" is priceless. i love it. >> what's impressed me most about lifelock is they're also gonna be there to help you afterwards if something happens. the credit monitoring agencies, they're just gonna go, "no, you had an issue. it's on you." whereas lifelock says, "let us help you." >> every single time the lifelock agent, if we've had to stay on the phone too long with the other company, the agent will always say, "let me take this, angela. i'll call you back when i get them back." and i just feel like they respected my time and me. >> they know everything that there's no way i could know. i don't have to think about, "how do i fix this?" i turn it over to lifelock, and they'll help me. >> announcer: identity theft is the fastest growing crime in america. are you at risk? you could be if you bank or shop

you're nearly 6 times more likely to be a victim of identity fraud than those who are not notified. and once your information is out there, it's out of your control. that's why you need protection. >> you know, i've always heard of these data breaches at retailers. you always think it doesn't happen to you. and it did. my information, as well as that of many others, had been breached during a christmas shopping season by this major retailer. and that's when i said, "i have to protect my family." i called lifelock. it was so simple, and i actually was kicking myself that i didn't do it earlier. sometimes i even like hearing the ding, knowing there's an alert. lifelock makes me feel safe knowing someone is concerned about my future and that of my children. >> you know, jeff, last time i was part of a data breach, i got this letter, and they offered me identity-theft protection. i mean, what do you think about that from the company that just got breached? >> well, by the time you got the letter, it's already days or weeks have gone by since the

happened, and they don't usually realize it's happened until well after the breach has occurred. so the point is, it's too late. i mean, you've already had your information out there. it could already be a big problem. the point of identity-theft protection is being proactive. that's what lifelock does. it helps you figure out if someone's trying to steal your identity, and then if it does happen, they help to resolve it. >> i went to the doctor, and they told me -- i got a letter that there was a breach and that my information may have been compromised. i was very relieved that i had already signed up for lifelock. >> so, here's one scam that criminals will do. they'll buy an 800 phone number, which will actually forward to their cellphone, and then they'll call up and leave a voicemail to you telling you there's a problem with your banking account. they'll leave that 800 number in hopes that you'll call them back. so you should have received a security i.d. when you got your voicemail. so, once they answer the phone, the first thing they're gonna want to do is they're gonna want to verify that you are who you say you are. for security purposes, i just need to verify your social security number. people are very used to that, so

security number is" whatever it is, and just like that, they have that before people even have a chance to think, "maybe i shouldn't have given that out." yeah, no problem at all. you have a great day. thank you. bye-bye. and just like that, we have her social security number. >> protecting your identity is a smart financial move. personal finance expert, best-selling author, and journalist lynnette khalfani-cox helps her clients with their financial portfolios. here's what she had to say about identity-theft protection. >> you might be doing a lot of things right. you might be saving, planning for the future, investing. all of those things are great. but if you haven't taken time to protect yourself against the risks that are out there, the very real risk of identity theft, then you haven't really secured your family's finances in a way that's smart. identity theft is a threat to your financial wellbeing because it not only affects your credit rating and impacts your ability to get loans, it could also hamper you in everyday life, and doing things like renting an apartment, getting a

that you might need. the people who get financial help for any aspect of their lives, whether it's taxes, whether it's managing credit card debt, whether it's planning for retirement, they actually tend to do a lot better in reaching their goals, and likewise, the people who have expert help to deal with the problem of identity theft, those folks also fare so much better because they have a team of experts who know the groundwork, who know what to do in a way that the typical person just doesn't know. lifelock helps alert you about potential identity-theft problems, and that early alert is crucial because you can take action and do something imdiately to prevent the problem from getting worse. >> i've been a lifelock member now since 2008, and i can't imagine being without lifelock any more than i can imagine racing down a highway without a seatbelt. i mean, if somebody breaks into your house, you can get a new lock. if your car is stolen, you can

but you only have one identity. you're not gonna be able to replace it. so protect it with the best. >> when your identity is stolen, you just feel so violated and just so helpless. but knowing that you have lifelock, it just -- you have this whole team of people on your side, and you know that you don't have to go it alone. >> we feel protected, and we feel like there's almost like a blanket of security around us. >> it's just really great to know that they are there and we can call on them whenever we need it. >> i would compare lifelock to having that big older brother walking side by side with you on the first day of school so that everyone knows "don't mess with him." >> choosing lifelock to protect our identity was one of the best decisions we've ever made. >> this is financial protection that you can't afford not to have. it's kind of like the people who say to me, "uh, i'm too cash-strapped and i can't afford to save." i say, "you can't afford not to save."

to protect your credit health and your identity. >> the value of lifelock to me -- it's priceless. what's the value of your credit? what's the value of your family's credit? >> i've been attacked seven times since 2011. and each time, lifelock was there to help me. i'm gonna be a lifelock member for life. >> what is more important than makingngure the only you out there is you? >> announcer: identity theft is the fastest growing crime in america. are you at risk? you could be if you bank or shop online, have health insurance or fill out medical forms, if you have a smartphone or use public wi-fi, even if you file your taxes online. no matter how careful you are, your social security number and your other personal information is out there out of your control. just detecting the problem is not enough. how do you resolve an issue if you have one? >> i signed up for lifelock. we have someone in our corner to help fight that fight.

dance moves but that they're daily activities. >> i shoot the ball. i shoot the ball. basketball. boom. all you're doing is walking. i always say if you can walk, you can dance. >> he would start with just the footwork. then he would add the arms. >> i'ma add some arms. take your arms up when you move this way. >> and then he would add some, like, flavor to it. >> and you can even lift that back leg a little bit asasou move. >> he breaks it down in a way, by the end, i am getting these really complex moves because they were broken down so well. >> drink. again. >> it truly is the end of exercise for people as they know it. >> if i can dance and sweat and work out at the same time, especially while i'm at home -- that's t best part. >> over the past 30 days, i ended up losing 21 pounds. i didn't even know i had 21 pounds to lose, but it just, like, kept melting off. 30 days just, like, flew by, and i was having fun doing it. >> i'm hoping to lose about 20 pounds. >> i never considered that 36 pounds would be what i lost. i push the couch aside, i push the coffee table aside, i crank

i don't feel like i'm working out. i'm just having fun. >> and i would like to lose 2020 to 30 pounds. voil ! 45 pounds later. i don't feel 50. i feel beautiful. cize worked because it was easy to do. and i'm going to keep cizing it up. >> get ready to cize it up. 5, 6! come on! and when you cize it up, that music comes on, you have to be, like, "i'm the [bleep]" like, "i'm the star right now." >> the songs comes on and you get a chance to dance to something hip and fun. >> you live in the music, and you live in the movement. that makes this program different than every single program out there. >> your living room is your stage, and you have to dance for your life. >> i'm out of breath. >> you really feel like you're performing. and you're rocking out in your living room, and before you know it, you're drenched in sweat, and you feel on top of the world. >> when people talk about cize, they're like, "it's so fun. i learned this routine." and the last thing they talk about is how much weight they lost. >> cize it up! >> that just happened. >> when i first started cize, i didi't believe in it. i've been a big kid my entiree life.

days just from dancing every morninin that was beyond my thoughts. >> i would like to drop around 15 to 20 pounds. i've never lost 42 pounds not lifting weights. that was unbelievable. it's not like exercise, where you have to do push-ups or you have to do burpees. it's just moving. >> there are people out there who are overweight, and they're looking for that one thing that they can do to get them started. with rachel specifically, this is something that started her journey. >> i have been overweight my entire life. when you're overweight, people see you differently. they don't see the perern that's on the inside. what appealed to me about the cize program is that i could time. because, you know, working out and getting a gym membership, it's expensive. so, i'm excited to just work out and have fun, because the weight has always held me back. the first 30 days of cize have been a whirlwind. i lost 22 pounds. i am definitely continuing to cize it up. [ laughs ]

cize, and i have lost 57 pounds. and i'm not gonna stop, because it obviously is working. >> i am 74 pounds down, and i feel like a different person from inside and out. i couldn't be happier. cize worked for me because it freed my mind. i wasn't thinking about the scale. i was dancing. so i lost t e weight faster. when i was at my highest weight, i was so limimed to what i could ar. was a size 20 dress,s,nd i'm a size 10 now. never thought that i would se 74 pounds in suchch short amount of time. to everyone that has a lot of weight to lose, i was one of those people. i didn't think i could do it, because it's hard when you have that much weight to move. you have to believe in yourself. cize will help you do it. if i hadn't found cize, i would still be trying to figure out why i couldn't make a commitment to myself. i saw cize and was like, "there's nothing to lose." except 74 pounds!

there you go. >> i loved the music in every single cize routine. >> i kind of describe it as, like, six different flavors. i designed the program in a way that the choreography is a progression. "crazy 8's" is a very simple structure where you repeat the same movements and kind of get your body comfortable. and they're movements you're gonna see throughout the entire program. >> that one gave me confidence, and it reassured me that, "okay, i might not be a hip-hop dancer but, hey, i can get through it." >> dance, dance dance, dance, dance, dance >> then you move on to "you got this." >> i really felt like i got it, because those same moves that were in "crazy 8's" show up in that routine, but with a different flavor. >> i iike the song "treasure" because i'm the treasure.

>> trip. come on. you've got it. >> i'm a dancer now, and there is no way i'm letting cize go. you know, i didn't go into this like, "wow, i can't wait to lose all this weight i've been carrying." i came into it 'cause i wanted to learn how to dance. so, for me, the weight loss was the by-product. in 30 days, i lost 21 pounds. i wasn't stressed about if i was working hard enough or fast enough. i juststad fun. i have never felt better in my entire life. and it just keeps getting better. >> when i hear the word exercise, i think hard-core work. >> exercise, i associate with running. >> i think of push-ups, i think of countless squats. >> intense, sacrifice. >> gym memberships and machines. >> doing push-ups. >> crunches. >> killing your body. >> the gym is a little intimidating. >> burpees, doing mountain climbers. who could do that at 205 pounds? >> i mean, i personally associate exercise with getting to the end of a workout and not

good morning everybody and welcome to the balancing act. we're so glad you joined us. i'm julie moran. and i'm olga villaverde. alright, are you triple threat, julie? how about a quadruple threat? maybe a triple. i dodot know about a quad. not me. but today we're about to meet some as we continue our broadway balances america series, going behind the scenes of broadways's best shows as they travel across the country. so much fun. i love this one. life is a...cabaret, baby! as we introduce you to some of the talented cast from e tony award winning production of cabaret directed by sam mendes and rob marshall we'll enter into the world of the infamous kit kat club and see how they prepare for such a demanding role that has them acting, singing, dancing, and playing an instrument. what talent! okay, and if sometimes it feels like you're tap dancing with your goals. love that. you knowowand new years resosotions. we've got you covered. we've got some life coaching solutions. plus, some

day. i think it's time to raise the curtain and start the show. the balancing act starts... right now. (in unison) life is a cabaret! (music). (music). month? well, today we're taking a bit of a closer look at why setting dreams, goals, and resolutions is not only healthy but necessary. here's olga. it's the end of january. how's your new years resolution coming? well, if your answer is "bah humbug," let's take a closer look at goal setting and let's start t hearing what some of you had to say. hohos that new

does not go so well. they're going pretty good. we volunteer at several places and we enjoy being able to give back. stay happy, healthy, concentrate on my family. finish my degree and get a betttt job. sorry. great stuff this morning, , d joining us now to get an even better handle on how to successfully set -- successfully set -- and achieve our resolutions and goals is our resident life coach doctor, jessica leon. good morning. good morning. i'm so happy to be here. a new year! yes, glad to have you here. why is it a good thing to set goals? well, i think resolutions and goals first need to be defined. we know that resolution is being able to solve problems and go through things, and we know that goals are something that we set and we look forward to. so, when we have something that gives us longterm motivation and short-term vision, what we're able to do is we're able to put our priorities in order. we can

that when we're doing all of these things, they give us a sense of confidence and our self-esteem. so, the more that we set and the more that we are successful, the better our self-esteem goes up and up. and so then we are much more likely to have better judgements in life and continue to set goals for ourselves. now why do we do this at the beginning of a new year? i mean, shouldn't it be done all year long? i think what happens is people get so caught up in new year's resolution. new year. new you! so, exactly. that's our motto here. and we all, while we can still have a new year and a new you, what's really important is looking at how important goal setting is on a regular basis. so, when we set daily intentions, it gives us a practice of setting these goals. so, when it's time to join the tradition and go ahead and set a new year's resolution goal, you already have set up a sense of practice for yourself and successes so that you're much more likely to be successful during that new year's resolution that you set. and what do you tell to people that say, "you know, i'm not even going to set a goal.

goals." what do you say? you know, i think the biggest problem with people is really their interpretation of failure. so, that internal dialog is huge in what do they see as a mistake in failure. so, being able to really re-examine exactly what failure means. so, it's going into it saying, "i'm not going to be perfect going into this goal." but i'm going to try. exactly. and so just trying makes all the difference in the world to at least say, "okay, well i did this and this didn't work." now you have something new to be able to try differently. the other thing i think is so important is that when people set goals, they forget about two really important pieces. the first one is the accountability. it is so important when we can put ourselves accountable, whether it's through putting it out in public, whether it's being competitive with somebody, whether it's making a bet. but we know that whenever we hold ourselves accountable, we are much more likely to comply with different things. in addition to that, the visual piece i think is what's missing from a lot of people. so when you have something right there in front

checkoff system that you completed it. something more tangible. much more tangible. marbles in a jar, pounds to lose, pounds lost. anything that you can do that represents some sort of visual way to stay accountable, i think that also is the necessary ingredient for you to follow through into that successful goal. so, when it comes to new year's resolutions, what are the most popular that really never get achieved. well, i think what happens is people get so gung ho, which is wonderful, they get so excited and they take on one of the most difficult challenging goals which is addictive behavior. and to undo a habit that you're so used to requires a lot of help. it requires a support system. it requires a plan. and people don't often put everything that's involved in that plan and support system that they need to accomplish that goal. so sometimes even getting professional help along with a goal that requires much more attention into the underlying root of some of those addictive behaviors is also something

you've got to set something more realistic. yeah. small and achievable is much more realistic for somebody than the whole entire year that they're looking that they're going to accomplish something that was an addict-type behavior. mine was, "okay, i'm going to learn to relax more." (laughter). but, you know, and so start off with the smallest piece that maybe in the car, you'll start to relax a little bit differently by maybe incorporating some smells, maybe some peppermint oil or some lavender oil. maybe the sounds that you listen to. you can have any goal you want, but starting so small and with the most achievable way so that you feel successful. thank you very much for your tips. what was yours by the way? my resolution is to be able to have, to engage in, a lot more meditation for myself. okay, see the relaxing part. yes. i'll get there one day. thank you, doctor, appreciate your time. and for all these great tips on goal setting, just log onto thebalancingact.com (music). up next, if anyone knows how to dream big and overcome the fear of failure, it's our next guests. it's hard

something you love to do. i never in a million years would expect that i would be playing my trumpet and my french horn in front of thousands of people.

ca, bringing the best of broadway to a city near you. (music). we're once again heading to broadway and beyond as our broadway balancing america series, i love this series, takes us behind the

they travel across the country and into your local theatre. roundabout theatre company's tony award winning production of cabaret, directed by sam mendes and rob marshall is hitting the road and taking audiences into the infamous and sedsuctive kit kat club during a pre-world war ii germany where the mc, sally bowles, and a ruckus ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd and to leave their troubles outside. and for the talented quadruple threats of the kit kat girls and boys who make up the ensemble of the production, prepping for a rigorous touring schedule takes balance to excel in all four disciplines. as balancing act correspondent, amber milt, learned when she got a preview of their acting, singing, dancing, and musical abilities. so together we say, "come hear the music play!" that's right, baby. here we go.

actors are part of the roundabout theatre company's 50th anniversary season which includes the national tour of the tony award winning musical, cabaret. (music). rehearsal is in full swing as the performers get final notes from choreographer, cynthia onrubia. being part of the kit kat club ensembles means they must be able to sing, dance, act, and play a musical instrument. you want diversity, but it all has to come together musically. i want to keep a certain standard of the show because once you set the tone, and especially me, i won't settle for anything less. (singing) the numbers are hugely important to the show partly because they drive the show in

numbers intersect with the scenes. they propel the themes of the show. the abrasion between the scenes which fire in and the songs that fire out that give the show its unique energy. (singing) the story, which first debuted on broadway 50 years ago, takes audiences into the seductive kit kat club during pre-world war ii germany. berlin is thriving but everything is about to change. it's what happens to sally bowles, who is a chanteuse, and cliff bradshaw, an american writer, and their romance. and how history intersects with that romance. their romance and also the romance of an older couple, fraulein schneider and herr schultz. and of course there's the character, the mc, which is maybe perhaps the most famous character in the show. and he comes in throughout the evening and does fantastic numbers that illuminate and expand upon the

tough situation in history and adds light to it from the characters, from what they're going through. the dancing is pretty surreal. the way that the story is told is so innovative and so timeless to all the audiences that get to see it. this sam mendes rob marshall production features the music of kander and ebb, the team behind chicago, and it all starts with casting. kit kat boys and girls are also the orchestra. there is that extra element of musicianship that comes into play. it's finding the people who can also wail on a saxophone and sing and dance and act. that is where it becomes tricky. as a quadruple threat, dani spieler who plays lulu can definitely wail on the

started working on willkommen and don't tell mama. these are iconic numbers that i have sang in my bedroom since i was a little girl. so to actually be learning that same choreography and that same production that i was so excited to see. i can't even put it into words. it's so, just doing those moves, it immediately feels like, "wow, this is so exciting!" preparation is key. it's just making sure to warm up every part of your show. you have to warm up your instrument, you have to warm up your voice, you have to warm up your body, and then at the end of the show you have to cool it all down as well. playing the character of helga, this marks sarah bishops' touring debut. "i am like a father to her. so, when she is bad, i spank her." there's a lot of anticipation. i'm just excited to get started because, you know, i've dreamed about

all these awkward weird talents i just happen to have. like how many girls play the trumpet? it was such a perfect fit for what i wanted to do as an actor and what the show has to offer. and being on tour, i think it's a good time for me to be traveling and exploring at a relatively young age. lori eure is more familiar with the territory. she was part of the shows revival in 1998 and the first national tour of cabaret. i'm still excited to be apart of the show 15 years later in my career. but i felt like i have so much more to offer for my characters now. i've lived longer and i've had more life experiences whether they were good or bad, but they can all add to make a stronger presence on stage and add more layers to the character that i will be playing. making sure the

award winner, william ivey long who is once again creating the fabulous fashions. this needs to hug the butt like that. one of the mc's lines is "every night we have to fight with the girls to keep them from taking off all their clothes. tonight we might lose the battle." so specifically i took that as my mission. so my job is to make sure the ladies can give that impression that these clothes are just going to fall off of them...we have two bras on and three panties. while supporting them in all the choreography and everything they're doing. this is an example of you can think you're just so smart and you do a sketch based on a reference, and then you get the live person in the room and it doesn't look good at all. so you change it. you can learn the combination all day long in the studio, but once you put the costume, it adds a-whole-nother level of intensity to your character. wearing those revealing costumes

going? good. hi, how are you? lift it up and exhale! pull your shoulder blades together. absolutely breathtaking. keep tension on the bands the whole time. prepare us for our show tonight, not destroy us. do about 5 more seconds of this, nice and easy. so actually dancers will know it's like you're trying to go in opposition. but to balance that so is having a life outside of the theatre. professional and personal balance, especially as an actor, is necessary. i'm recently engaged. so for me being on tour, it's going to be a matter of staying in touch. my finance's going to be flying out a ton. i'm a preschool teacher when i'm not doing the show. so it's all about finding little things that give you a little bit of happiness, a little bit of joy in your day-to-day when you're not on a gig. so here at cabaret, everybody is so multi-talented, but i wanted to get in on the fun. ready guys,

now getting underway. you want them to take away what has always been at the heart of the show which is that it's exciting, it's memorable, it's musically thrilling. the numbers are fantastic, the characters are memorable, but also that it's challenging. it makes us think, it moves us, and i think i can say that this production in particular does that probably better than any other. you come out, maybe with a few tears, but yet you are like, "this is why i just bought a ticket to this. this is what theatre is and this is why we come to the theatre."

and that's what i want people to walk out and feel. (singing). theatre near you. check out broadway balances america, broadway across americic or you can go to our website, thebalancingact.com for all the show information, tour dates, and more. (music).
