Hereabcs reporter tonight, after one of the longest strikes in hollywood history, writers and studios reaching a tentative agreement, bringing the Entertainment Industry one step closer to getting back to business. Shut it down reporter neither side has released details, but the wga says the deal is exceptional, with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership. They had most of their areas of concern addressed by the studios. One, ai. They have some protections in place that will ensure writers have a future in this industry. The second is residuals.

One guy, hes been there before. He knows the rules and regulations. Thats why he was asking me, wheres the sign. Reporter then another man quickly becomes aggressive.

Reporter in just seconds, several people outnumbering dameion. One woman seen kicking him while he is down. Rushing in to help protect the crewmember, two of dameions coworker, including his longtime friend who goes by the name rara. They did him that way, and no one came to help.

When asked about the incident, the defendants telling abc news they had no comment. They were still fighting. I had responsibility to do.

Reporter when that ferry finally docked, some passengers joining in on the fight. One man seen swinging a chair, now charged with disorderly conduct. Police confirming these videos are part of their investigation. What do you want to say to folks to help them have a better understanding of what it was like and how you feel at this moment . There is always a wrong and a right situation. There is always cause and effect. You dont go to work every day thinking about well, im going to be violent today. No. I went to work to work, not to be in a fight or get jumped on. Before yall Start Recording and joking and laughing, how about think and help people. He could have got injured and worse.

Huge relief. Yeah. Byron the story of Imelda Marcos, is now a disco broadway show. David byrne, the former talking heads frontman enlisting the help of fatboy slim and a group of actors who come from the area with the marcos story naturally, automatically. Here is my coanchor juju chang. Juju as celebrity djs go, fatboy slim is a founding father. He is about to perform a live set on a broadway stage. Oh, there. That will be all right. Dont stop me now reporter but this isnt a usual night out at the theater. For one night only, dance music icon fatboy slim is turning broadway into a dance floor. For a stadiums, im told youre the most down to earth person there is. I couldnt possibly answer that question without appearing not down to earth. Juju the seemingly down to earth emmy winning artist helped launch back in the 90s. Funk so rubber, check it out now juju and produced the award winningly wacky music video starring the dancing christopher walken. Fatboy slims broadway debut could not have happened without another music legend, david byrne, best known as the frontman for the legendary talking heads. With infectious grooves like once in a lifetime. Letting the days go by juju and burning down the house. Watch out, you might get what youre after juju so what was that call like when david byrne says would you like to compose this musical . Basically, when david byrne phones you up and says do you want to write a musical about the life of Imelda Marcos, even though you know nothing about musicals and Imelda Marcos, you say yes. I would give my body parts to work with this man. I always wondered if you could do a musical show in a dance club so people could be dancing while theyre getting a kind of story. Juju that dance club story is here lies love, the immersive and electrifying telling of the brutal marcos regime in the philippines. The first all filipino cast ever to premiere on broadway, along with an historic number of filipino producers like musician her, and dj cherish the love. Ive been asked so many times, oh, my gosh, this has got to be a dream come true. And my answer is know, its totally not, because i never dreamed this because i only dream about thing that i believe are possible, and i never believed this was possible. I get choked up thinking about it. Juju the show originally started as a concept album written by byrne and composed with norman cook, aka fatboy slim. They say you never meet your heroes. But i would say meet with heroes and work with them. Its still in my head, what would d. B. Do . D. B. Approach this. Juju you had this idea germinating in your head for more than a decade, certainly. What made you start researching the story of the marcoses and imelda . Im old enough to remember when she was on the social scene, fairly outrageous, the wife of a dictator going to discos. And i thought i bet there is a story. I remember, distinctly remember the conversation when he said i see this on broadway. And i remember just thinking good luck with that. Juju as luck would have it, its now on broadway, a portrait of Imelda Marcoss rise from poverty to unimaginable wealth, fame, and power after marrying ferdinand marcos. Eventually their corrupt dictatorship is toppled by the people of power revolution of 1986. What were you trying to get at here . In the first half, i want you empathize with her. She comes from a poor background, and her aspirations. Then things very rapidly spin out of control. And i want the audience to feel that. Juju and who turns dark. Yeah, turns dark. Oh, we we liked you. What happened . Lets give our people a break you say juju the production ripped out hundreds of orchestra seats to make way for the moving stage and 300 standing patrons. It totally works. I think it works because its immersive. The fact that youre in the whole audience is in it with you. Are you ready to have a good time tonight . Juju mosesville rama plays the dj in the show. Make some noise juju acting as part hype man and narrate foreinterest crowd. The most affecting response from audience members is the filipinos who come, you know, and they say to us, i am so proud of you. Thank you. Because seeing us on stage to them makes them proud to be filipino. I am a child of the philippines juju so i wonder, whether you hesitated at all, that youre essentially two white men telling the story of a philippine dictator . Yeah, definitely aware. As soon as id written some of the demos, i went to manila. Nobody said i was way, way, way offbase. The entire cast is filipino. Filipinos on the production team. Were not going to get away with anything. Juju on one of his many visits to the philippines, byrne saw dioramas. She is creating her own mythology. A slight bend. Most known for her shoe connection. 2,200 pairs of shoes. That sold me. When you said its not just about shoes. Its too camp. When i was growing up, all i knew about Imelda Marcos was shoes. To tell the story in a truthful but entertaining and emotional way i think is the perfect way of using theater. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. You too. Reporter for villarama, being in this all filipino cast is special. Born on a navy base in the philippines, his parents lived under the marcos dictatorship. Can i get your autograph too . Juju like so in the cast, its villaramas debut, a opportunity he says he was drawn to by byrnes lyrics. There is this poetry that he is able to pack into every single moment of every song that is just astonishing. And so the more and more i listen, the more and more i was like i need to be in this show. Juju and the show needs him. As the 90minute no intermission disco musical takes a poignant turn. These are the actual words of the participants of the 1986 people power revolution. Its just decoration. Reporter for byrne and fatboy slim, the show is also a cautionary tale of the perils of absolute power. Then the darkness begins, there was no time for choices the story ends with the people power revolution when the marcoses are ousted. Peaceful demonstration. I thought thats very moving, and you cant top that. [ cheering ] byron our thanks to juju. Up next, flying high together, father and son pilots making their dream come true.

This year ruben iii officially became a pilot for southwest airlines, the same as his father. Tonight, after 31 years, his father is now retiring. But there was one more dream father and son had, to pilot a flight together, and on dads final flight, southwest documenting the moment. Walking to that flight together, their arms around each other, boarding with a thumbs up, checking the controls. Passengers then hearing about it and cheering. The captain saying its time to go. Thank you. He doesnt know were late. We got to get out of here. And right here tonight, the retired pilot and proud father. It was an awesome feeling flying my last flight with my son. Follow your dreams. Never give up on them. And joining us tonight ruben iii, the new pilot, proud to continue his fathers legacy. The younger version of myself would be so happy and proud.
