After The Rodgers And Hammerstein Revolution, Songs

Opportunity Is Not A Lengthy Visitor.

I Really Don't Want To Write A Score Until The Whole Show Is Cast And Staged.

I Fell Into Lyric Writing Because Of Music. I Backed Into It.

By The Time I Get Through Writing A Score, I Know The Book Better Than The Book Writer Does, Because I've Examined Every Word, And Questioned The Book Writer On Every Word.

When You Know Your Cast Well And Their Strengths And Weaknesses, You Can Start Writing For Them, Just The Way Shakespeare Wrote For His Actors.
