“We really wanted to open the season with a bang and we felt that featuring well-known stars of Broadway would be a grand gesture, ... It will be a great pleasure to work with folks who have presented these pieces on the New York stage.”
Charles Jones
“Choosing Raymond for their debut show was like a Broadway production opening in the Catskills — it was a chance to try things out on an audience perceived as not very discerning or sophisticated.”
Charles Cross
“I wanted to be a Broadway star when I was younger. I wanted to sing and dance until I realized I was a horrible dancer and could probably never do it.”
Michelle Branch
“At first, because I had only known it from the Broadway show, I didn't care for it much. But when I read it, I saw a totally different show. There's definitely humor in it. Sondheim envisioned it as a small, dark claustrophobic story. But the producer said he was going to produce it his way, which was a huge musical with 40 people in cast. But the story doesn't lend itself to big dance numbers. It's a very focused Victorian melodrama. That's what I'm shooting for.”
Jerry Miller
“Momentum is key. We really wanted to get to Broadway this season. I hated the idea of losing anyone in the cast.”
Casey Nicholaw
“Miss Merman is a great broad...that is, she's a great Broadway star.”
Mary Martin
“What a glorious garden of wonders the lights of Broadway would be to anyone lucky enough to be unable to read.”
G. K. Chesterton
