But I think musicals are going to have to deal with important subjects.

If we don't reach out to make theatre affordable to the young generation, we will lose them all.

I think it's sad that movies and television have caused the theatre to fade as a popular art form. I hope to get young people into the theatre and expose them to Shakespeare.

We need more theatres, more art and more culture in this country.

Is the American theatre allowing itself to become irrelevant? The problem isn't that playwrights aren't being paid enough. It's that theatres all over America are looking towards New York to tell them what new plays to do.

Broadway is obviously a dream come true, but audiences everywhere continue to make performing a blast.

I sincerely believe that for the New York theatre to remain relevant, all our major producing institutions should be presenting new American plays.

Musical theatre is now a worldwide conversation.

I'm the end of the line; absurd and appalling as it may seem, serious New York theater has died in my lifetime.

We all need to go to good theater; that is what I believe will save it.
