The Perfect Expression Of Receiving A Lifetime

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.

I'm Always Glad To See Somebody Rethink Something Rather Than Reproduce Something I Did.

Artistic Self-indulgence Is The Mark Of An Amateur. The Temptation To Make Scenes, To Appear Late, To Call In Sick, Not To Meet Deadlines, Not To Be Organized, Is At Heart A Sign Of Your Own Insecurity And At Worst The Sign Of An Amateur.

What's Missing In The Musical Theater Is Producers Willing To Nurture New Work, Raise The Money And Put It On.
