Chords for DAVID & SHAUN CASSIDY SING ON REGIS

David and Sean [B] Cassidy from Melbourne.
_ _ _ [N] _
_ Hi David. _ _ _ _
Yeah.
Hi.
Have a seat. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You guys still got it.
Yes, we do.
Well, I got his tie, so that's probably what did it.
It's great to have you here on the show. Thank you.
You know, this is the first time that you've worked together on stage, right?
First time we've ever spoken to each other.
_ We used to work as solo acts, as you may have heard.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah.
We were kind of concerned as to how this was going to work out.
Did you have any trepidation about it?
Well, to be honest with you, when they offered the role of Mickey in Blood Brothers to me about a month ago,
I went and saw it, and after I saw it, I thought about calling him,
but he was in the middle of doing writing and finishing this film for Universal,
and I know that he hasn't really been focused on acting,
and I thought, I got to pick up the phone and call him.
So I picked up the phone and I said, listen, I'm going to say something to you,
you just have to listen to me.
You've got to read this play.
I want you to do this play on Broadway with me, and he said, I don't think so.
No, I said, no, no, this is not_
Actually, I said I can't.
I really, I couldn't.
I was on a deadline for two films, and he was already set doing it, he was in the middle of rehearsal,
and they had only given me eight days to rehearse, and I just didn't think I'd get my movie done, but I did,
and I came here and I saw the show and I was so knocked out by the show that I just dove in
and haven't had a minute to think about it, and here we are.
Here we are, the Everly Brothers.
That's right.
_ This is some story.
Here you are playing brothers, and incidentally in this particular play,
these are brothers who were separated at birth.
Yeah, twins.
Brothers that were separated at birth. Eternal twins.
It's playing in London now for five years.
It's a giant hit, and it was nominated.
They brought most of the original West End cast over to open it here for 12 weeks,
and they got nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
It's an amazing opportunity.
I was talking with my stepfather the other night, and he said,
you guys should really just stop and think about this,
because you're on Broadway together in a show that gets standing ovations every night.
Every night.
It's just an amazing opportunity.
A saver, yeah.
I'm very grateful.
When is it going to happen again?
The two of you in the same theater.
More than an acting experience, I think what I did was when I called him, I said,
listen, forget about what this is going to mean to your career.
Think of the restaurants in New York.
Exactly. _
Think of the women you're going to get to see.
And incidentally, Petula Clark plays your mother.
Yes, she's wonderful.
Well, Liz Smith gave you such a rave today.
That's nice.
She just said it's a good review for us.
Absolutely, with a spectacular standing ovation.
Now, the ad says 147 performances, 147 standing ovations.
In no lie.
And they send the New York Times in to check on that because of truth in advertising.
There's actually somebody in there.
So you get that audience.
We pay those people a lot of money to get up there and do it.
There was a credibility gap.
That's what's going on today, but this was going on a few years ago.
And here's the old Partridge Family album.
It's a huge hit again.
It's still going on, yes.
Yeah, it's fabulous.
I'll do it.
_ Here's another album.
What do you think when you see the face and that hair and those yearning, longing eyes?
_ I need to get a haircut.
I figured, really.
And what do you think when you see this? Oh, man. _
It's okay, he was 12 when he took that photo.
There's no question that Shirley Jones is your mom.
Look at the resemblance in that picture.
They do look a lot like her.
Here she is right here again.
Looks nothing like me, of course.
Now, this looks like it was not, well, fairly recent.
How this particular one was born late. _
How long ago was it?
A cash loan.
When did you work that out?
That was 1978 or 1979.
That's what I say, about 15 years ago.
There's a picture in here that's a little bit older than that, I think. _ _ _
_ _ Anyway, the audience brought these by.
I thought we'd take a look at this a little bit.
We already looked at People magazine.
So, now you're writing, and incidentally, writing a sequel to one of our favorite movies.
Really?
What?
The Midnight Run.
Oh, yeah.
With Bobby and Charles Gordon.
Well, no.
No, no, that was the first one.
That was the original, yeah.
This is actually Universal's making four Midnight Runs for television.
And I just finished writing one of them.
It's going into production this fall.
And it'll be on the air in the spring.
So, they're making a series out of it.
Yeah, four movies like the old Mystery Wheel.
I think it's a terrific idea.
Columbo, McCloud, and that sort of thing.
Yeah, just love that movie.
All right, you guys gonna sing for us today? Yes.
I don't think so.
_ [B] Please, please cast a new vocalist.
Yeah, they're gonna sing.
We'll be right back.

[Ab] Tonight, September the 6th at 10, right [N] here on Channel 7. _
_ _ _ Now, this is one of the songs from Blood Brothers.
However, it is not the song that you two sing, right?
Well, no.
Not in the show.
Hopefully, this morning we'll get through.
Well, he's gonna sing it.
I'm gonna mouth it.
What is the song?
Where does it come in?
It's called Tell Me It's Not True.
And it's actually sung when we're dead.
Petula and the whole company are singing it at the end of the play.
Over our bodies.
Particularly dramatic.
So, it's a light comedy.
Much better moment than this morning.
We got Joe Baker at the piano and Bob Ranino at the bass.
Thank you, guys.
And here's Sean and David Cassidy.
