There are countless fantastic actors out there who are being denied the opportunity to play Broadway because they're not a name, and I think that's kind of wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People sometimes forget how important Broadway is as a place for young actors to grow.
There is only one thing I respect in so-called Broadway actors... and that is their competitive sense.
I have to say, speaking from experience, just because an actor starts out in a role in the workshop, they won't necessarily play it when it goes to Broadway.
I'll tell you what I think in general about people who want to make their Broadway debut that are not trained stage actors. Don't they know, Broadway ain't for sissies? It is a tough gig. You are responsible, physically, mentally, emotionally, for eight shows a week, at the top of your game. It's not easy.
I never thought of myself as a Broadway actress. I'm not really a singer or a dancer.
I had never auditioned for Broadway - any play - and I was not familiar with what you're supposed to do.
It's definitely one of those things when you decide to be an actor that it would be really cool to be in a Broadway show or a series regular on a hit show.
I do Broadway because I refuse to succumb to the stereotypical things that Hollywood does to a performer.
Broadway's not what it used to be.
The only reason anyone goes to Broadway is because they can't get work in the movies.
