Audiences Are Quite Happy To Be Astonished,

I Remember When People Actually Wore Coats And Ties To Theatre Every Night. They Don't Anymore. It's Very Different.

I Got Successful Awfully Quick, And I Wanted It... But I Do Think There Is Responsibility To Move The Musical Theater Form Forward. I Think You Always Have To Be Aware Of The Work That Came Before And Build On That.

I Was Nine. I Saw Orson Welles In 'julius Caesar.' It Was Involving, Emotional, Imaginative. I've Never Forgotten It.

It's Nice To Stay Up Nights Worrying About The Material, And Not About The Investors Who Gave You $10 Million To Do Your Musical.

The Musical Has Always Been In Jeopardy - Until - Or Was In Jeopardy Until It Was Realised That It Is Probably The Safest Living Theatre Art Form.
