Original Broadway, off-Broadway, and Revival Cast...
I was looking for my Anything Goes cast recording recently (I think it’s about time I get reacquainted with the score because of the impending Roundabout revival on the way) and I discovered I have a load of recordings I’d forgotten about.

First the announcement of Melissa Etheridge in American Idiot, and now this? I seriously think we’re being punked. But I am really, really going to enjoy this if it gets made.

On Paying For Theatre
I know many people boast that they don’t pay for theatre. These are also people who want to have careers in the theatre. I get comp’d into shows now and then, but I pay for a handful of shows too and I feel like it’s my responsibility to do exactly that.
