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'm a pragmatic man. I'll veer on the dangerous side, because I love dangerous subjects, but I won't shoot a show in the foot.

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

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.

Audiences are quite happy to be astonished, and they don't care who does that astonishing.

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

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