They love you here.

We love you here.
3
I love being here.
4
Thank you for coming back.
5
Nice and cool in here, Jimmy.
6
It is, right?
7
Crisp.
8
We keep it crisp because we have to if you get nominated for four Tony Awards.
9
It's hot.
10
It's a hot, hot show.
11
Very hot.
12
And then we got to keep it nice and cool.
13
That's right.
14
Is this your first musical?
15
This is my first Broadway musical.
16
It really is, yes.
17
And I have to tell you,
18
this is the most fun I've ever had doing a show in my life.
19
I, yeah.
20
And part of it, I've come to a conclusion that now we've been running it for a while, why?
21
I mean, like, first off,
22
it is the most joyous production I've ever been in as far as, like, it's hysterical.
23
Yeah.
24
It's, the audience reaction is just amazing.
25
And I thought, well, that's why I'm high as a kite every night when I leave here.
26
I'm just like, ah!
27
It's so fun.
28
But, the thing that, now that we've been running it a lot,
29
I am shocked by the consistency.
30
Like, it...
31
I've never been in comedy or anything that
32
so consistently hit in the same places and always ended the show with this reaction.
33
They always end in a way that, like, you're blown back.
34
You remember the old, um...
35
What was it?
36
Is it live or is it Memorex?
37
Oh, yeah.
38
And he's being blown back.
39
When those lights go out, they scream.
40
It's every single time.
41
It's like...
42
Yeah!
43
And it's amazing.
44
But it's because the thing is so damn well put together.
45
That's right.
46
It is.
47
It's...
48
Yeah.
49
Now, can you explain the play and...
50
The premise?
51
Yeah, the premise of the play,
52
because that will set it up for everybody.
53
Titan...
54
Yes, I want to make sure everyone gets this clear.
55
So, the premise is that Celine Dion shows up and says,
56
I was on Titanic.
57
And people say, well, that's not possible.
58
And she goes, no, it is.
59
And she begins to retell her experience of being on the Titanic,
60
which just so happens to be the exact script of the movie Titanic.
61
Yeah, it's very interesting.
62
Gosh, it is funny.
63
And is this the creator as well?
64
Yes, Marla.
65
Marla plays Celine.
66
Constantine plays Jack, the Leonardo DiCaprio character,
67
and Ty, who directed it.
68
They're the three who started creating this 10 years ago.
69
And that's what I was gonna say,
70
which has been so cool.
71
It has been through so many productions and basement productions and out-of-town things or whatever.
72
Yeah.
73
And it's why it's so finely honed now that we're here on Broadway.
74
And, like, I didn't do anything until this.
75
I just reaped the benefits of all this work they've been doing.
76
No, no. No, it's true.
77
You are crushing it.
78
By the way, you play...
79
I play Ruth.
80
Yes.
81
You play Ruth.
82
Rose's mother.
83
Now, let me zoom in.
84
I'm not as pretty as Francis Fisher was in the film doing it,
85
but I have a better hat.
86
Yeah, no, it...
87
Would you consider that a hat?
88
It's a cross between a hat and a fascinator, I would say.
89
It is a fascinator.
90
And a bit of a big brooch.
91
Yeah, what kind of birds are those?
92
I believe that they're doves.
93
I think that they could be about to fight or the other F word.
94
There are three eggs in that basket,
95
in that, what do they call it?
96
The little nest?
97
Nest, thank you.
98
And both of the little birds are wearing pearls to match me.
99
Come on.
100
It's a special moment.
101
That is fantastic.
102
Everybody is raving about this show.
103
Everyone's going to this show.
104
I mean, backstage you had, look at this.
105
Lin-Manuel Miranda was there.
106
You have Ian Armitage.
107
Ian Armitage.
108
Who plays young Sheldon and, of course, Ariana Grande.
109
And may I say, I believe...
110
I believe this moment is me telling Ariana,
111
you are the most exciting person I've ever met backstage.
112
Is that right?
113
Oh, my God.
114
It is exciting, right?
115
There's just something about her.
116
I was like, not even a president can make me this excited.
117
This is just thrilling.
118
Yes.
119
Do you want to know who comes to your shows?
120
Do you want to know if there's people in the audience that you...
121
I don't usually.
122
This one's been a lot...
123
I don't, again, I think it's because I'm having so much fun doing it.
124
It's so enjoyable.
125
And I really do feel so buoyed by the material and taken care of that I kind of don't mind knowing now.
126
Yeah.
127
But I can't spot anybody.
128
I don't know if I have bad eyesight or what,
129
but even my own mother was there with a whole group of her friends,
130
and somebody else in the cast had to tell me,
131
she's up right there.
132
And I'm like, oh, there.
133
Hello.
134
I love you.
135
Exactly.
136
But I can't see anything.
137
And are you used to the grind?
138
Because I know we have lucky enough to have Broadway performers on our show.
139
Yeah.
140
And when they have it,
141
like, tonight, you have a day off.
142
Yeah, today is Wednesday.
143
That's the only thing about this show.
144
I like the grind of it.
145
The only thing about this one,
146
we've been on a schedule where we're off Wednesdays instead of Mondays as normal.
147
And so, starting the show,
148
like, your first day of the week is Thursday.
149
It really messes with the mind.
150
And we have this moment in there when Celine Dion first shows up.
151
In unison, we all go,
152
Celine Dion, what are you doing in this museum on a...
153
Today it would be Wednesday.
154
But the panic that goes through the cast right before they have to say,
155
because it's like, what day is it?
156
What day is it?
157
What show is it?
158
We're doing two shows on...
159
That part's confusing.
160
Yeah, so everyone says a different day of the week?
161
Yeah, somebody will always say a different day behind you.
162
Like, oh, who's wrong?
163
Who's wrong?
164
Me?
165
Yeah.
166
Well, I thought it would be kind of fun if we did a little game here.
167
This is a...
168
Well, since...
169
Since the show is based on Titanic,
170
I thought we could do an interview based on the show's closing number,
171
which is My Heart Will Go On.
172
Okay?
173
This is a...
174
This will be called a near-far interview, okay?
175
Here's how this will work.
176
I will ask you some questions.
177
And when we hear this sound...
178
Near.
179
We have to get as close together as possible.
180
Okay.
181
And when we hear this sound...
182
Far.
183
The other word, yes.
184
We have to get as far apart as possible.
185
Okay?
186
Okay?
187
Does that sound good?
188
I love this.
189
Okay, this is great.
190
We've never done this.
191
This is the first time we're doing a near-far...
192
Why would anyone have ever done this?
193
I don't know.
194
That's not the...
195
I don't know, but let's start.
196
Here we go.
197
Here's the first question.
198
Near.
199
Just in time for Pride, Mom.
200
What do you remember about the first time you saw Titanic?
201
I remember there's a lot of celebrities in it,
202
and they wore pretty clothes.
203
And there was, like, I remember seeing them in that sex scene in the car.
204
You do?
205
You saw that?
206
I saw that.
207
And I remember things like...
208
You were old enough to.
209
I remember, like, Billy Zane was in it.
210
And he's so attractive.
211
Billy Zane was in Titanic!
212
You saw Billy Zane in that?
213
Are you talking to me now?
214
Well, there's so many memorable quotes from Titanic.
215
What is your favorite quote from the movie Titanic?
216
Oh, it would definitely draw me like one of your French girls.
217
I mean, that was it.
218
That was a great quote.
219
There's other clothes that are memorable.
220
There's so many clothes I remember as well.
221
Yes.
222
The big question, what is it?
223
What is the big question?
224
You smell okay, by the way.
225
Thank you.
226
I had a mint.
227
Do you think there was enough room on the door for both Rose and Jack?
228
I don't know, but I know
229
that two guys there would have been enough room for I don't know
230
if there would have been enough for even four in this city.
231
Oh, the Bodhorns!
232
And the near-far interview.
233
Thank you for doing this.
234
June Parsons, everybody.
235
Titanic is now playing at the St. James Theatre through September 20th.
236
Tickets are available at TitanicMusical.com.
237
For tonight, you're right after the break.
238
Stick around.
239
We'll see you next time.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
