The Musical Has Always Been In Jeopardy

When I Was A Producer, The Fun Of The Show Was Waking Up With A Hit And Enjoying The Period After The Show Opens. The Fun Of A Director Stops The Day It Opens. No Matter If It's A Success Or A Failure, It's Not A Whole Lot Of Fun Anymore.

Despite The Successes, You Remember The Failures - Rather Lovingly.

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.

The Perfect Expression Of Receiving A Lifetime Award Is To Be Working When They're Handing It Out.

Audiences Are Quite Happy To Be Astonished, And They Don't Care Who Does That Astonishing.
