I'm Always Glad To See Somebody Rethink

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.

The Idea Is To Work And To Experiment. Some Things Will Be Creatively Successful, Some Things Will Succeed At The Box Office, And Some Things Will Only - Which Is The Biggest Only - Teach You Things That See The Future. And They're Probably As Valuable As Any Of Your Successes.

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

There Are Wonderful Composers And Librettists Out There. It's The Lack Of Creative Producers That Is Troubling.
