When I look around at Broadway and the West End, theatre is becoming an exclusive club.

Broadway is a very different kind of place. It's kind of like Nashville in that there's a certain amount of people that are involved, and those people are what run it.

I would like, if I can, to broaden the possibilities of the musical theater. I think there's a better 'Oklahoma!' someplace, a better 'West Side Story.' And I'd like to be mixed up in it.

I'm lucky to have worked in theater all over the world, but there's something magical about Broadway. The audiences are smart, they're educated. They go in ready and they're up for it, they're up for the party. It's a whole different atmosphere.

I don't go to that many Broadway shows, so I can't really say anything.

Broadway has some very tight expectations as to what a show is.

What I particularly like about Broadway is the camaraderie and the friendship of other people in other shows. Everybody knows you're opening and cares about you. There's a real village atmosphere.

I've thought about doing other dramatic roles besides westerns, but I grew up in the West and I know the West.

By the time I started writing plays, Broadway was never an expectation, so it's never been central.
