Ellie Bamber Quotes

I grew up doing musical theater.

I've never been bored in live theater.

I went to a theater arts school, so I'm interested in many different projects, whether it be film, television or even live theater. I'm a performer. That's what I do. That's what I want to do.

I was heavily involved in musical theater.

I happen to love working in cinema, but the theater is always there... you know, and I would never shut the door on it. Even though it's been quite a bit of time since I've done a play, last one was in New York.

I did a musical when I was 17, an amateur show, and I loved it.

I spent a lot of time in the trenches in New York doing a lot of off-off-off Broadway theater.

When I lived in Ojai, I did community theater, and I was intrigued by acting.

We couldn't even contemplate doing 'Hairspray' without a live audience.

The musical is amazing. i mean,i don't throw around that word very often unless im talking about myself. Being humble is one of my many fine qualities. IGN Interview May 2009

Performing in a live theater is absolutely unbeatable. It is something I have done my entire life and have a gift, it seems, for sharing thoughts live.

I started doing regional theater. My first job was 'The Importance of Being Earnest' at Dallas Theater Center.

Without a doubt, I'd love to do Broadway. I actually can't wait to get back to musical theater.

I was thrown into a community production of 'Bye Bye Birdie' or something when I was a kid. I wanted to just build the sets, but I wasn't allowed to just build the sets unless I auditioned for the play. So I auditioned for the play and was thrown into the chorus. During the course of that I fell in love with it, and I never really turned back.

I'm doing a play, a musical. The musical follows the Mamma Mia concept. It's my first LA theater project.

I was the lead in two musicals, and I took dance classes.

I'm a theater guy at heart; I love the theater. I was lucky enough to spend a good decade and a half in the New York theater community.

I think movies are a director's medium in the end. Theater is the actor's medium. Theater is fast, and enjoyable, and truly rewarding. I believe in great live performance.

So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live theater culture here is incredible.

Live theater is my favorite of all the mediums that I have worked in, so I have every intention on coming back to Broadway.

Really, I'll go anywhere at any time to continue working in theater - it's a passion that I'm thankful I still have. It keeps me creative and on my toes and meeting great people. I can't imagine a better way of working than on a play.

I do most of my work on the stage, and typically once the show is over, it's over.

I love flexing theater muscles. Television has merits as well, but there's no substitute for live theater.

Television is great but for me, as a performer, nothing compares to a live theatre show.
