There are a few videos from the interview, none specifically with Jim.   I don't know if the whole thing will show up on You Tube.

In this one Zachary Quinto is talking about his hesitation to sign on for a role in TBITB.  At about the 1:30 mark as Zach is talking, Jim has tucked his phone under his thigh. Then as he tries to adjusted the booted leg, his phone falls on the floor, apparently not for the first time and in a total Dad move, Matt Bomer takes it away from him. lol

Michael Benjamin Washington took over the Samuel French NYC (theatrical publisher of the script) IG account today to document what a two-show day is like for the cast and crew.

Terrific IG story with behind the scenes looks at The Booth Theater, pre-show prep and mini-interviews with the cast and crew.  Here is a capture of the scenes with Jim.

From Entertainment Tonight

Why Jim Parsons Wouldn’t Do ‘Boys in the Band’ Without Zachary Quinto

“It was just hard to say no to,” Parsons tells ET about joining the revival, in which he plays Michael, the host of the party and instigator of the evening’s game. “It’s very meaningful to be able to play these parts as out gay actors 50 years later, when so many of these men not only hid their sexuality but died of AIDS eventually, a disease that undoubtedly was allowed to get as bad as it did in part due to homophobia, a secretiveness and no action being taken.”

However, Parsons did have one caveat for doing the show: Quinto. After doing a reading of the play with the actor -- he plays the scene-stealing and increasingly morose Harold, who is celebrating his 30th birthday -- Parsons recalls telling his agent he would only commit to the Broadway production if the Star Trek actor was going to be part of it: “If Zach’s not going to be involved, I feel real iffy about this because I just didn’t know who else could do it to the level he does it. He’s that good.”

Is it just me or does Jim's sister bear a striking resemblance to Zoe Perry who plays 'Mary Cooper' on Young Sheldon?
