We spoke w/ maebirdwing about UpHere, burping on cue, and hopes for Season 2.
Written by Steven Levenson and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel, with original songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the Hulu original musical romantic comedy series Up Here follows the love story of Lindsay and Miguel , who must overcome their own insecurities, anxieties and fears, and ignore the voices inside their heads, if they’re going to find happiness with each other.
MAE WHITMAN: In the beginning, it was all terror. When I read the script, I felt so much like the character. It was really special. The lineup of people who were working on this are literally at the top of their categories. I was so taken. Not one element of this lags behind. The dialogue is brilliant, the characters are genuine, the moments are connected, and that’s something I’m comfortable with.
WHITMAN: I’ve been on a lot of projects that have mirrored my life, but it’s weird when a musical from 1999 is also mirroring your life. You’re like, “Jesus, it’s the exact kind of struggles and thought processes that I’ve been dealing with at this age.” It’s about letting go of certain defense mechanisms that don’t serve you anymore and certain reactionary tendencies, and making a little space to actually be yourself and consider what you really want when something triggers you.
What was it like to adjust to acting and singing while all of these various manifestations are around and sometimes communicating with you directly. What was it like to figure all of that out?
