I Love Big, Bold, Truthful Theater -

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.

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

I Like To Do Everything You Can Possibly Do Before You Go Into Rehearsal, Because Once We Are In Rehearsal Or On The Stage There Will Be A Problem I Didn’t Anticipate. It’s Really Good To Think We Got It All Nailed - Of Course You’ve Never Got It All Nailed.

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.

It's A Terrible Shame If You're Born The Brightest Guy In Your Class. If You're Not, Then You Have To Hustle-and That's Good.
