While Jamie Lee Curtis loves the live music experience, she prefers to go to bed early.
In the latest episode of Jenna Bush Hager’s podcast An open bookthe Fucking Friday actress (who has previously expressed a desire to do more matinee concerts) opened up about who she’d like to see perform live — if the concert comes early enough.
“Chappell Roan,” Curtis, 66, said in a video posted to Instagram. “I want to be ‘Hot to Go’ too – but I want to be ‘Hot to Go’ in bed.”
“I want to go to bed,” she added. “And so you have to play ‘Hot to Go’ so at 4:30pm we all go ‘HOTTOGO’ and then I go home.”
Jamie Lee Curtis wonders why musicians don’t perform matinees: ‘I want to see Coldplay at 1pm’
In two separate interviews in March 2023, Curtis questioned why artists don’t perform concerts during the day rather than at night.
“I’m just going to say this now as a mockery and as a suggestion. U2, do a matinee. Coldplay, do a matinee. What about the 12 o’clock concert, Coldplay? What about him?” Curtis asked as he spoke to The Hollywood Reporter.
“Bruce Springsteen, do a fucking matinee! You’re old! Why wouldn’t you let me come see you, Bruce Springsteen, in your glory days—pun intended—at noon or one o’clock? Two o’clock! Two o’clock matinee!” she continued. “New York theater, two o’clock! I’ll come hear your five-hour concert, Bruce, at two o’clock, and be home and in bed by 7:30.”

Then, during the performance at Todayshe challenged the musicians to hold performances “by day”.
“Why is there no matinee?” – asked the Oscar winner. “For example, I love Coldplay. I’d love to go see Coldplay. The problem is I won’t go see Coldplay if they start their show at nine o’clock and there’s an opening act. I want to hear Coldplay at 1:00 p.m. I think if we filled the stadium with people who want to see a Coldplay matinee, I think we’d start a trend.”

Elsewhere in an interview with The Hollywood Reportershe revealed that she turned down the Oscar nominees’ dinner for a similar reason.
“Now you might say, ‘Jamie, you’re nominated for an Oscar, you’re going to be in a room with only Oscar nominees, and I turned it down.’ Why? Because mom goes to bed early,” Curtis explained.
On An open bookCurtis also discussed her new show, Stickyher upcoming film The last showgirlher 40 years of marriage, her journey to sobriety and what it was like growing up with famous parents.
