We've got to find a way to protect the process of making musical theater.

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.

Most of the big money people don't know what would interest an audience if you did it. They only know what interested the audience last time.

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.
