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

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

What's missing in the musical theater is producers willing to nurture new work, raise the money and put it on.

I do know one thing: I wish people were doing more dangerous musicals, more courageous musicals and not just falling into the trap of trying to figure out what the public wants, because you find out that the public very often wants what's good.

Musical theatre is now a worldwide conversation.

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

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.

We've got to find a way to protect the process of making musical theater.

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

The Broadway audience is made up of a greater percentage of tourists now. There's not nearly as much variety and danger and challenge in what's being offered.
