There are wonderful composers and librettists out there. It's the lack of creative producers that is troubling.

You think, 'Musicals, they must always be romantic' - You'd be surprised how few of them historically have ever been romantic.

I would like to see more new productions of new material by new composers/lyricists/book writers. I would like to see people take more chances. I think because everything costs so much they're not taking the chances they used to.

I saw 'On The Town' about nine times. I discovered it. I loved it. I was in college.

I don't look back. I look forward and plan new shows. That's really feeding the most important part of working in the theater.

I'm always glad to see somebody rethink something rather than reproduce something I did.

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.
