"Southern California, they have been amazing. They're totally with us"
About this Quote
The pivot to "They’re totally with us" does more work. It frames support as unanimous, almost electoral, swapping the language of reviews and ticket sales for the language of allegiance. That’s not accidental. Actors promoting a show, a tour, a cause, or a community often have to project inevitability. If people are "with us", hesitators feel late to the party, and the industry hears "safe bet". The pronouns are doing politics: "they" is the public, "us" is the company, the cast, the campaign, the tribe.
Rivera, a performer whose career embodies Broadway stamina and cultural crossover, also taps into Southern California’s specific mythology: sunny, expansive, receptive to spectacle. The sentence is short, almost tossed off, but it’s built like stagecraft - a warm spotlight aimed outward, then a quick snap back to collective identity. It reassures insiders, flatters outsiders, and keeps the narrative simple: support is real, and it’s already decided.
