I think that big, sort of theatrical relaunches tend to set you up for failure and hype.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Theater is dangerously open to repetition. It's exciting when you hit on a new way.
I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.
It's a tough transition really for theater actors to adjust to television or film, and all of these years later, I still have a tendency to play it too big.
In theatres, you're kind of disconnected. Also, it's way too big for the likes of me. Unless you're Robin Williams or someone that can fill a stage with movement and energy, it just looks like a small man on a big stage.
I'm not from a theatrical background where people do like to work it out on some stage space.
Producers want to put their music behind revivals but I don't think that's a good trend for the theater at all.
I'll eventually go back to theater because the feeling of being on stage where you have the audience right there, you can't replace that with anything.
One of the things I find very difficult about theatre is the repetition - that something can slide away from your original intentions.
I think theater ought to be theatrical.
Nobody has yet proven that taking a chance and doing something unique that an audience isn't used to is a bad idea. What the theater lacks is that kind of courage.
