What's Missing In The Musical

Criticism Is Valuable... And Self-congratulatory Experiences Are Not.

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.

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 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've Seen A Lot Of 'show Boats,' But I've Never Seen The One That Thoroughly Satisfies Me.
