Commitment Quotes
Experience tells us that creating new musicals for Broadway is not an easy thing to do, ... and it requires a serious focus and a substantial commitment of time and resources. We've created Elephant Eye to provide creative leadership and financial support throughout the entire process.

Block Quotes
But Lunceford was playing great music, and he was just a wonderful human being. We didn't even curse in front of him. We would play seven different shows a day at the Paramount Theater in New York, and we had seven different uniforms. People were lined around the block from Broadway to Seventh Avenue.
-
Choice Quotes
We talked about a lot of different choices. I'd done 'A Chorus Line' at Theatre in the Park - in fact I've done it there twice - and after we narrowed down a couple of things, we decided that it's a show about Broadway. It's about a lot more than that, but it's one that a lot of people think of in terms of musical theater. We heard it was coming back to Broadway next October, so we thought we'd get a little extra push from that.

Apartment Quotes
Pretty much from 1979 through 1988, the backbone of my career was the theater. Working on Broadway a couple of times, working off-Broadway, and also doing a lot of regional theater. Make no mistake, I lived very frugally. I had an apartment that was real cheap. I would get two or three jobs per season, and in between I'd be on unemployment.

Attend Quotes
People said that they would be much more willing to attend American Stage in the Park if we would program something other than Shakespeare, specifically musicals. The musicals we will do will still be uniquely American Stage. They will be musicals you would not likely see a (touring) Broadway series.

Apartment Quotes
There was a week where I was depressed with the rain, and people were telling me to get a light box. But I live on the 14th floor of an apartment complex, and I see the Broadway Bridge and Mount Hood, and it keeps me such company. And like true Oregonians, I don't carry an umbrella anymore.

Bringing Quotes
It's an honor just to do this in New York, to give a voice to the Latinos who died in that tragedy that no one knows about because they were illegal aliens and, thus, undocumented. There was a story on Univision on the Spanish network about them, and that how Rick was inspired to write this piece. That I'm bringing that story to a Broadway stage is something I take real pride in.

Audience Quotes
It is truly history in the making that the country music world is coming to New York, and joining with Broadway for such a wonderful, unusual and entertaining event. This special concert, performed by some of the superstars from both worlds, will not only highlight the similarities and universality of these two seemingly different genres, but also help expand the audience for each style of music.
-
Beginning Quotes
It started out with a gathering at my house and my wife Janie's house. We had an idea to try to do something for the families involved in the second stage relief effort... we decided in the beginning that we wanted to have the kids involved because Hollywood actors and Broadway actors do fund-raisers. So we invited each school to submit one act.

Appreciation Quotes
The New York Education Grants have been extremely successful in helping to provide unique Broadway experiences to young people, many of whom may not have had the opportunity to go to the theatre before. Education programs are crucial for the growth and survival of Broadway, as they encourage young people to develop a lifelong appreciation of the arts.

Along Quotes
It's interesting to note that Broadway at the Beach's attendance and sales figures increased during 2005 despite the year-round existence of Coastal Grand. Coastal Grand itself also exceeded projections for 2005. The original theory was that there are both different and shared audiences for an enclosed mall environment and for an open festival retail environment along the Grand Strand, and that has held true.

Bring Quotes
The kids had a blast. Colin was able to give them insight about professional acting, and the students were able to tap into what it's like out there, auditioning, trying to find work. I think he was able to bring some reality to them. Usually, they never get a chance to see the reality. They all want to be stars. But this was also a chance to see how many jobs there are in the Broadway industry, not just acting.
