When I was prepping for my Broadway debut as Romeo, it really hit me that I had never done that.

So to do something like Romeo for my first Broadway role was a challenge. (Broadway Quotes)

The great thing about doing a series about the Broadway community is that the possibilities are endless. (Broadway Quotes)

Grease’ was my Broadway debut. That was eye-opening. At the same time, it was very familiar. It was a Broadway show, but it’s kind of the same as doing a show in Minnesota. It’s the same type of rehearsal process. You are doing 8 shows a week, but I worked at a theatre in Minnesota that did 11 shows a week. (Broadway Quotes)
He doesn’t comment on any of the music I play: Sonny Rollins followed by AC/DC followed by the Broadway score from My Fair Lady. (Broadway Quotes)
That experience with ‘Rent’ went by so fast. I was younger. I didn’t even really know what opening night was. And now I’m thinking back on the times I went to Broadway as a kid and the excitement I felt... And I’m realizing that I’m actually a part of that, so I’m learning to take it in, ‘cause so often I shrug it away. (Broadway Quotes)
Frances McDormand is my favorite actor. I don’t know if that’s relevant. But she’s a person who plays people. In other words, not everything has to be an over-the-top Broadway musical to get my attention, but it certainly helps. (Broadway Quotes)
The prosecutor uttered the party line that would distinguish revue from burlesque for the next thirty years. The difference is movement. On Broadway, unadorned female figures are used to artistic advantage in tableaux. They do not move. (Broadway Quotes)

I sing a mixture of everything from opera, folk music, Broadway. It’s a mix of things. (Broadway Quotes)
I got to Broadway a year after I came to New York. I starred in ‘Butterflies Are Free’ and got a Tony for it. Right out of the gate. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t very gracious about it. I wasn’t driven. And right after ‘Butterflies Are Free’, I got married and then started a family. I always wanted that. (Broadway Quotes)
I’d love to do ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ again - especially on Broadway (Broadway Quotes)
If you were an actor, anybody could go on Broadway and take a George Carlin hour and do it on stage as a one man show. They’re all stand alone essays. (Broadway Quotes)
