B-Roll – A Fine Romance Premiere – Catherine Zeta-Jones

Sound Bite: John Lloyd Young
I was invited to participate by Dan Jinks one of the producers of it. Just finished Jersey Boys on Broadway about a year ago and in August I came out to do Les Mis at the Hollywood Bowl and met all these people in Hollywood who were theater fans, Broadway theater fans and they asked me to do this and I’m just floored by the amount of people the kind of people that are doing this tonight. I almost wonder whether I deserve to be here.

Musical turned to film, it’s gotta be Westside Story. And they chose the song for me, so I couldn’t be any happier.

Sound Bite: Laurence Mark & Dan Jinks
Jinks – We first started 4 years ago in Frank Mancuso’s back yard basically and it was a way to do something to give back to the community and we’re big fans of the motion picture television fund and we wanted to do a New York kind of an event here in LA.
Mark – And that’s the idea, it is Hollywood loves Broadway and that’s exactly what this is and you’ll see Tony award winners for days inside.

Sound Bite: Laurence Mark & Dan Jinks
Mark – Oh wow uh wow uh that’s a hard question uh
Jinks – I’m gonna say 2. Cabaret is pretty spectacular and Dreamgirls which this gentleman right here produced.
Mark – That’s very sweet of him, and I’m gonna say Chicago because Catherine Zeta-Jones is a knock out, let’s face it, there you have it.

Sound Bite: Adam Shankman
Um I was approached by Dan Jinks and Larry Mark um they asked me if I would be interested in writing uh and directing the show and I don’t know I just said sure kind of blankly and next thing I know I’m suddenly doing it and here I am, and it’s great, we’re having a really good time. It’s a little nuts, I’m trying to finish a movie right now, I’m 2 weeks away from finishing Bed Time Story so it’s a little little silly.

Westside Story. (talks) Why is it Westside Story? You know it’s just like the best one I think. I’m not saying it’s the best movie one ever made but it’s sure great and it’s just got my favorite score and it has some of the best dancing ever but there’s been a ton of them. I mean the easy thing would for me to say Hairspray. But I’m not.

Sound Bite: Catherine Zeta-Jones
First of all it’s got much bigger, which for us is just amazing because that tails into making more money for the fund and that’s what we’re doing and people who are gonna be watching the show tonight have been so generous and so I mean, my friends and my co-host Mr. Hugh Jackman and so many people who keep coming back for more I mean it means a lot to us in our industry to give back and to look after own which is I can’t think of any industry that does that.

We haven’t actually signed black and white yet but I would pretty much do the phonebook with Steven Soderbergh and pretty much do pretty much else with Hugh Jackman so it’s a very interesting project so.

Westside Story, but I can’t say Chicago because that would be so big headed of me but um Westside Story and of course Chicago.

Sound Bite: Victor Garber
Dan Jinks is a friend of mine and is one of the producers of the show and asked me to do it.

Well music is like another language, it’s just something that touches people and it always has and it always will.

Sound Bite: Hugh Jackman
Well I actually don’t know anything apart from what I’m doing because I’m a self-obsessed actor, and actually I came to rehearse my bits and went, but last year I remember just being blown away by all the people who were on Dick van Dyke and Cheetah Rivera and Shirley McClain and Jennifer Hudson and I know I’m singing with Kristin Chenoweth and Audra McDonald which is an unbelievable opportunity or career suicide, it’ll be one of the 2 and you’ll know about it in a couple of hours.
