"It was so heartwarming being in the rehearsal room again [after the shutdown]. We couldn't deny that [the show] wouldn't be exactly the same as it was before. I think our team did a really good job of centering us the first day we got back in the room," he explained. "It was the same show, but new territory with one another. I was really happy we did that because it set the tone in such a beautiful way. It's almost like a new chapter of this beautiful story."
