Vivian: ♪ Goodbye for now until we meet again.Octo– SeptemSource Out of the Box is a Disney Channel TV series that takes place in a playhouse made entirely of cardboard boxes, where two hosts, Tony James and Vivian McLaughlin Bayubay, sing songs, make crafts, and act out plays. Vivian: ♪ Goodbye for now until we meet again. Tony: I've been really touched and honored because a lot of the generation that grew up with Box, the kids, and their parents have reached out and expressed online and in person how much the show has meant to them.
See, when I was growing up, I always knew I was gonna do something with music and I was gonna do something with children because those are my two loves. I music direct for several colleges, children's theaters, high schools. I love being a teacher because that's mainly what I do now. Vivian: So, I'm a mom and that is my life and I love it, love it, love it, love it. There's gonna be some new music coming out really soon. I'm just going over some artwork and discussing storyboards for videos and all of that stuff, so I'm really excited about that, so stay tuned.
I'm putting some finishing touches on some new music that I'll release this year. Tony: I think it was very important because it's reflective of our world, and I'm a native New Yorker, so you know, that's what. But it was kind of, I think, after the fact that it started airing when I would meet people out in public, they would ask me are you Filipino? It was cool, you know, because it was important to them. At the time, I was just super, super excited to be doing it. Vivian: I was excited to represent because I didn't realize it, I don't think, at the time. One of the biggest reasons for the show's popularity was its diverse cast. Now of course, to this audience, those names may not mean that much, but you know, that was a while ago. Even before Stomp I worked as a session and touring musician and I played with Billy Squire and Cyndi Lauper and Mariah Carey. who could play percussion and specialized in junk percussion and I've had that experience because I was in the original American cast of Stomp. This actually speaks to, I think, one of the reasons I was cast, because they were looking for someone who is a musician, who was primarily. Tony: I've been in the arts my entire life. Basically, in like in a little over a week we'd have two episodes.
Tony and I went all day, but the kids required by law to go to school for half a day, so we did three hours in the morning and then three hours in the afternoon. Actually the same place right next to Bear in the Big Blue House and right above Sesame Street which was mind-blowing, because growing up Sesame Street was my jam. But, what you didn't see is the 75 other people who worked behind the camera to present this show that millions of people actually ended up loving all these years. Tony: Viv and I get all the credit because we were the ones in front of the camera. Tony and I, the relationship you see on TV is our relationship. Being able to call each other by our real names. Like, the first season they'll call me Vivian and then all of the sudden second season they'll be like Viv. So all the kids, it's their real names, and I love it because you can watch. You know, the producers wanted us all to use our real names. She's a magnificent vocalist and person and I love Viv. Tony: So many times there would be opportunities where it would just be her scene, and we'd go behind and watch the monitors while she was doing her scene and I was just always just in awe of her. Tony: People always ask me what are some of my strongest memories from the show, what are some of my favorite episodes, and really, they're all wonderful in their own way, but what I really remember if Viv's laughter. Tony has also announced the "Tony James: Outside the Box" tour, a special set of appearances across the US and Canada that give fans of the show a chance to meet him in person.
