The pair talked about their concerts in the interview.

"I'm excited but I'm also nervous," Eva revealed. "I get very nervous because it feels like I'm not there. It's like a second Eva did it, and it's like 'did she do a good job?' But I'm excited, it's nice to sing again."

They talked about what the experience was like actually filming the concerts.

"Reeve is so nice, he came and watched mine, so it felt like I did have an audience," Eva said.

Reeve said that he didn't mind the lack of audience while recording his concert.

"I think I am more of an introvert so I didn't mind that much," he said. "It wasn't that bizarre, it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I kind of liked it. I wouldn't want to only do that, but after the first song, it felt pretty weird, with no applause but you put out all the energy. You don't even realize to the extent that that is a part of the show."

They each gave a little hint as to what fans can expect from the concerts.

"The thing is, I'm not a fan of singing musical theatre, I'd rather listen to other people sing musical theatre," Eva said. "So I sing a rendition of Music of the Night, I sing one of my favorite covers of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road as a finale, When I Look at You...so I lean toward more of the classic, more jazzy-bluesy ballads."

Reeve revealed that he's doing mostly his own original music.

"Pretty much all original, maybe one cover I think," he said, but, "I forget what it is!"
