Pirates of the Caribbean 4? Transformers 3? Hangover 2?
I could care less.
When it comes to summer movies, I?m most looking forward to seeing the filmed version of Company which hits theaters on June 15. The cast includes Patti LuPone, Stephen Colbert, Christina Hendricks and Neil Patrick Harris, among others.
Entertainment Weekly?s Dave Karger chatted with Neil:
On Company: ?When you have a short-term performance, it?s hard to get a ticket. So we recorded the Friday and Saturday night performances, mixed them together and got the best of both shows. It was pitched to everyone as a semi-staged production, which we figured meant script in hand, go to mic number three, say your lines. But it?s a full production. There?s a giant orchestra. It was all put together in a ridiculously short amount of time, there was lots of choreography, lots of memorization. [laughs]. We had no idea. The first time we ran the whole thing was the dress rehearsal, which was the afternoon of the first performance ? when we were reviewed! I hope there?s something exciting about the fact that you sense a hint of panic in everyone. We were all going off gut instinct.?
On singing and dancing: ?I?ve always sung, always been a big proponent of the live theater. But I?ve never taken a dance class, ever, which I should at this point. Thankfully, a lot of the things I?ve done ? Glee, awards shows ? are just one-offs. You don?t have to learn a lot of choreography.?
On hosting the Tonys on June 12: ?I?ve pared my seven and a half hours of Spider-Man jokes to a lean two hours and 42 minutes, so I?m hoping there will be room for a couple of production numbers and an acceptance speech or two. The rest is going to be all Spider-Man comedy, all the time.?
