I've been a huge fan of yours for a long time.

-This is rad. I'm a fan of yours as well.

I literally cannot describe to you how excited I am.

I think I've only had like three musical auditions

in my whole life, and "Evan Hansen" was one of them.

So it feels insane that I'm going to be a part of that.

-I had the worst audition ever in the history of the business.

I auditioned to be on Broadway to be Frankenstein.

I'll never forget it. Honestly I'm getting --

I'm about to vomit right now because I remember going to

an apartment -- I'm not going to say the casting dir--

you know, who was casting me, but the piano player was there,

and I go, "I'm just going to sing 'Puttin' on the Ritz.'"

I go, "Yeah, I can do it." ♪ If you're blue and you ♪

I get there. They go, "Yeah, we don't want to hear that song.

because I'm not a real actor or a singer."

Everyone felt so bad in the room. It was awful.

And I remember, I was so embarrassed when I went home.

and there was steam coming off of my body.

that's exactly the same thing that happened to me.

They're like, "Oh, yeah, no, you're singing in the wrong key.

It's actually several keys higher than what

So it was like, "Oh, great, I don't have that prepared."

-Well, I mean, you're in a band with your sister Mady.

-You just released a new song, "Being You."

-But that wasn't your first band with your sister apparently.

-We used to be called Hot Pink, which I think is a great name,

-This is bizarre, but we actually talked to some people

This is -- Check out you on guitar. This is pretty awesome.

-The commitment I had to -- I think I remember telling myself,

"I need to get down on my knees and really get into it,"

-You rocked. That is one of the coolest things.

because you have so many besides "Dear Evan Hansen."

You have a movie out now on HBO and HBO Max

-I got a call from Jay Roach, who's the director,

So, there's five separate monologues of all of

these different characters sort of, like, talking about

their frustration about the current state of the world,

and he asked me to be in it with Bette and Dan Levy

and Sarah Paulson and Issa, and I was just sort of like,

"Are you sure? This is a lot of pressure."

to be able to shoot something in quarantine. It was wild.

-It's really a cool thing to watch. It's great.

You also have a new series on Hulu called "Monsterland."

-Yeah, "Monsterland" sort of follows several characters

that are -- we follow sort of these broken and troubled people

who are forced to sort of cope with the darkest parts

of themselves, and I play a young girl named Toni

And she is also trying to cope with just, you know --

and it was the first time I have ever played a mom in my life.

And it was also the first time I did a Cajun French accent,
