I've always loved musical theater. It's a bit of a family tradition.

I'm a theater guy at heart; I love the theater. I was lucky enough to spend a good decade and a half in the New York theater community.

I'm a Broadway baby, through and through. It's my first love, and it's what brought me to New York in the first place.

So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live theater culture here is incredible.

I have tremendous affection for New York and my life, but I'm a satirist at heart. And it's easy to satirize New York.

I love the theater so much, and it's where I feel most comfortable. I love the people and the community.

New York City is crazy and beautiful and really close to my heart, and I've always had dear friends here - family, actually, I would say.

My wife, aside from being amazing in general, was really the catalyst in this, and I really owe a lot of the move to New York to her. She reminded me I've always wanted to do move to New York for theater and said, 'Let's stop talking about it and do it.'

I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.

I fell in love with New York. It was like every human being, like any relationship. When I was a young New Yorker, it was one city. When I was a grown man, it was another city. I worked with many dance organizations and many wonderful people.
