'Spiderwoman' was wonderful. I think that show is a very important piece of theatre.
When you're in a big theater, you want to reach the very top of the place. Up to the highest seat, so that each person feels like you're talking to them. There's really no difference when you're in a smaller place; you just don't overdo it. It becomes far more personal.
You have to be passionate about things in your life.
You get the best out of people by allowing them to do their best work.
I just broke up all the furniture in the house. My mother had to get rid of me. So she put me in dance class.
You really never know what the next day brings you.
I don't think you know how much you can do until you try.
Why not travel, why not see the rest of the world, why not experience life? It's beautiful! Phenomenal!
Mother never said to me, 'Stay out of trouble.' She didn't have to!
Absolutely, I'll always be a dancer.
Redheads have a lightness, a craziness, a kookiness. Think of Lucille Ball.
'Chicago' is all about precision.
The person who does that role better than anyone else is the person who should get that role, regardless of their background or heritage.
Cabaret is a much more up close and personal experience, which I enjoy very much. This is a tremendous difference to being in a large theatre, doing a book show, where there is more separation. But both have equal importance.
You have to have the lows in your life so you can deal with them.
I think Lin-Manuel deserves absolutely everything that he's getting. He is an extremely gifted guy, a very fine human being, and loves the theater. Loves it.
The show did go on, but came very close to not going on at all.
Theatre is immediate gratification.
We're going to Puerto Rico, where we're gonna close. And we're so excited, we can't see straight.
You can feel whether an audience is tightened up and pulled back. Of course the opposite is an audience like we've been having in LA, which is fabulous.
