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.

Producers want to put their music behind revivals but I don’t think that’s a good trend for the theater at all.

A star may guarantee business, but the tradeoff is a very short run.

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 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.

I really don't spend time thinking about the past. I think about the future. I'm not stopping.
