To make theater out of real life, you need to catch dialogue when it happens.

In theatre, you've got to make the connect with your audience in the first three minutes. If you haven't, you know you've almost lost them.

In the theatre, the actor is given immediate feedback.

You have to transmit to them what it's like being in the theater. And it has to come from somewhere inside you and not by being like what somebody did last year.

It's communication - that's what theatre is all about.

In theater, you really work out the kinks and figure out exactly what you want to do and what we want to say, so by the time we have an audience, we're really prepared. With TV, you have a day... Sometimes, just a few hours.

When you put the musical in front of an audience, you get to see how the audience reacts.

Theatre is live content, and you can tell if you have worked your audience.

In theater, you are there, you have a character, you have a play, you have a light, you have a set, you have an audience, and you're in control, and every night is different depending on you and the relationship with the other actors. It's as simple as that.
