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.

Criticism is valuable... and self-congratulatory experiences are not.

I remember when people actually wore coats and ties to theatre every night. They don't anymore. It's very different.

I always had a good time in theatre, even when shows don't turn out as well as I'd like.

I'm crazy about Dublin. If you went back 3,000 years in my ancestry you wouldn't find a drop of Irish blood in the veins, but I love the place.

I've seen a lot of 'Show Boats,' but I've never seen the one that thoroughly satisfies me.

I love big, bold, truthful theater - the tradition of Victorian theater.
