Everyone I used to play with has either given up or is dead.

Everyone would like to be on Broadway, cause if a show works, you make a great deal of money and it allows you to write other shows.

Musicals are so expensive to put on the stage that you have to have the backing of a corporate, you have to have Universal Studios or Disney or somebody to put in the money.

It should be interesting to see two entirely different ways to treat a story, geared for two entirely different kinds of audience.

TODD: The history of the world, my love -- LOVETT: Save a lot of graves, Do a lot of relatives favors! TODD: Is those below serving those up above! LOVETT: Ev'rybody shaves, So there should be plenty of flavors! TODD: How gratifying for once to know BOTH: That those above will serve those down below!

One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.

Ah, but if you have no expectations, You can never have a disappointment.
