I think with musicals, it's much more part of the script. They don't want songs that would stop the show; they need songs that keep the plot moving.

I'm open to the idea of doing more musicals if it's one that I really enjoy.

Well, the musicals give emphasis to love, longing, melancholy, sadness. All of that is always there.

I grew up doing musicals. I've done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.

I wasn't planning on doing musicals, but that's how I started.

The musicals that I love on stage are generally meant for the stage.

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

I grew up in a time when the only musicals were animated musicals because nobody wanted to see people to break into song.

I think musicals can be more than what people imagine. That'll be the case with 'Matilda.' It's such a clever thing to stage. Parents would have read this when they were young and will want to share it with their children because they have such a fondness for the source.

In so many musicals today, the story is moved forward by a song. I don't think we're gonna try to do that.
