LOS ANGELES – When the pandemic shut down New York theaters, Tony-winning director Thomas Kail called a number of friends and asked, “Do you have anything you want to do for TV?”
Interestingly, “Frozen’s” Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez had a musical they thought could work in a streaming format.
“We met 18 months later in person for the first time,” says Levenson. “It was such a strange experience to make this musical.” The concept, Lopez says, involved getting into someone’s head. “There are a lot of songs and emotion and yearning going on in everyone’s head that you never get to see…what about a show like that?”The musical pairs two seemingly disparate people in New York. She’s an aspiring writer; he’s a mid-level executive.
“What was challenging for me was rendering that emotional life for and just laying that bare in front of the camera,” says Valdes. “I had to trust the music. I had to trust all the other components.” Those connected with the series realized it was impossible to remove the songs from an episode. “The episode wouldn’t work,” Levenson says. “And so that was always our goal – to building something where the songs would be integral to the story. Instead of eight episodes of television we decided this was eight mini-musicals that would add up to one series-long musical.”
When he realized what “Up Here” could be, “I felt there was a sort of rightness about it. It was very easy to let go of any of those voices of insecurity or doubt that sort of constantly intermingle in my head.”
