When I was young and growing up in New York, my parents took me to children’s theater quite often - elaborate presentations of ‘Goldilocks’ and ‘Rapunzel’ for Upper East Side kids. As I grew older, they took me to adult theater, mostly musicals Picture Quote #1

Two years ago it felt novel to do the East Side and then tons of other stuff have come up set in that world, but we still liked it. It felt like people are using East Side in other shows because it is cool Picture Quote #1

My earliest recollections are of the teeming East Side where I was born. This Hester Street and its surrounding streets were the most densely populated of any city on Earth; and looking back at it, I realize what I owe to its unique and crowded humanity Picture Quote #1

Twenty years ago I wanted to move to a nice place so our Charley would grow up a nice boy and learn a profession. But instead we live in a jungle, so he can only be a wild animal. D’you think I picked the East Side like Columbus picked America? Picture Quote #1

I remember my own life as a small boy, son of Jewish immigrants, in a janitor’s flat on Orchard and Stanton streets on the Lower East Side of New York City. My father made pants and doubled as janitor of a tenement - before he made janitoring at $30 a month, plus rooms, a career Picture Quote #1

I made my performance debut in New York City downtown on the Lower East Side in college doing awkward performance art as a go-go dancer at Lady Starlight’s Party.

But my fantasies came true and I got to play Maureen in Rent Picture Quote #1
