Our Redemption

We Bonded Over Musical Theatre

Deciding to move into a new house whilst both starring in shows in London was pretty stressful but when we found a place we liked we knew we had to jump on it before it was gone. I'm in LA whilst Andrew is in New York doing Angels in America on Broadway and I plan to fly there when I'm done here in a few days. I'm here promoting my new film with a good friend of mine Mike Faist and we're doing a Buzzfeed friendship test "Hi I'm Aurora Moore and I play Ivy in our new film Cursed" I say "And I'm Mike Faist and I play Noah and we're here to do the Buzzfeed friendship test. This could go terribly wrong" he says "We've known each other for like seven eight years now are you doubting our friendship" I say "I don't know what their gonna ask. We're close but I don't know everything about you" he says "I think we have this" I say "Okay. First question their birthday" he says "January 5th" I say "Correct and yours is May 19th" he says "Correct you have been to most of my birthdays so I'd be annoyed if you didn't know that. First time you met" I say "This I'm a little fuzzy on because I think we met at an audition for a play neither of us got the part in" he says "We did meet at an audition you were auditioning for Sky in Mamma Mia when I was playing Sophie when we first brought it to New York and you didn't get the role but we met like a month later at another audition which was the one your thinking of" I say "That's right we then bonded over musical theatre and our love for theatre in general and we have since starred on stage together" he says "We have and he's a big shot in Dear Evan Hansen now" I say "You still haven't come see that show yet though" he says "I've got tickets for it when I'm in New York so we can spend even more time together than we already are" I say "Can't wait. Their middle name is the next question do you know this" he says "I think I do. I honestly don't know why people share their middle name with people. Yes my boyfriend knows mine and I know his but that's just because we've known each other forever and our parents used to full name us when we were in trouble. I'm gonna say it's David and I only remember this because you told me one night when we were out for a friend's birthday" I say "Correct. Yours is Sofia after your grandmother and I only know that cause Ezra told me" he says "Ezra knows everything about me I vote that we do this quiz at some point. What's their coffee order. I have no idea so I'm gonna go pretty basic and say black with two sugars" I say "I do like a black coffee but I also enjoy a cappuccino or just pure espresso. When we first became friends you drank lattes and frappuncinos but now your a matcha person with coconut milk and if its Starbucks you get strawberry syrup added to it" he says "I'm impressed you clearly paid attention on set" I say

"Only because you were never without a coffee on set most days. Their go to activity between scenes on set. We sat and talked alot between scenes about lots of things. I basically interrogated Andrew about all the films he's done recently and how to reach his level of success when he was visiting. You draw alot or you talk about history with people on set especially Danish history" he says "Thats true I'm my mother's daughter but I also have a appreciation for the architecture because of my dad. When you weren't accosting my boyfriend for career advice you were doing vocal warmups to keep your voice fresh for Dear Evan Hansen or we were just chilling in our trailers" I say "True" he says "Their first role" I say "Is this professionally or just like generally like first school play are you trying to trick me with this answer" he says "Professionally. Yours was of course Newsies" I say "Correct. You had done other stuff before Mamma Mia I know that and I think I remember you telling me about this you played Hermia in A Midsummer's Night Dream" he says "I did" I say "Their hometown" he says "Gahanna Ohio a really beautiful place to live" I say "You were born in Helsingør Denmark but you lived in Copenhagen until you were five so either answer is correct" he says "True even though I lived in England most of my life Denmark is always home. Their dressing room must have" I say "We didn't have dressing rooms on set but apart from having her boyfriend there I'd have to say chocolates specifically salted caramel chocolates" he says "Correct I would also say my puppy Doc is now a dressing room essential once he's house trained of course. Yours would be music always playing I think he's introduced me to alot of great music" I say "I have and that is correct. Finally favourite scene you shot together. I loved everything we shot but my favourite had to be on our last day we were shooting this pretty intense scene and you couldn't stop laughing beforehand for some reason but as soon as the director said action you were in the zone and I looked at you and thought wow she's good at this" he says "Thank you that's really sweet of you. I'd have to say my favourite scene was like halfway through we were pretty comfortable around each other again and we were shooting one of our fight scenes and you accidentally actually hit me and you were so apologetic afterwards and took me to the medic and everything and then once we knew I was okay you just got straight back into it" I say "Thank you. Go check out Cursed in theatres everywhere now" he says.
