I really love doing action and I go for it.
I wouldn't want to be just pigeonholed as an extravagant director.
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.
I didn't go into the theater to be a producer, I went into the theater to be a director.
Audiences are quite happy to be astonished, and they don't care who does that astonishing.
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.
Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.
Thou art thy mother's glass, and she in thee Calls back the lovely April of her prime.
Unless you have the courage to doubt you will never come to know the truth.
A familiar name on its own, however, does not carry its bearer far unless the talent is there, and the will to work.
