I majored in theater. I did plays. But musicals were not my thing.
I started out doing musicals.
People go to musicals because they want to hear some really good songs.
I didn't know a single musical soundtrack, really, growing up. Nobody listened to musicals. That wasn't a thing I did.
Acting on stage is still my favorite thing to do. And everyone who's been in musicals knows that there is nothing more fun.
I love musicals and I'm happy they are coming back because I'd love to do more.
I kind of grew up on musicals, specifically, for whatever reason. They're something that really attracted me as a child.
I love musicals. I grew up on musicals.
I've been reading scripts where they've been doing a lot of singing now, but within the dark, realistic story line. I would love, love, love, love to do that. But not a musical on Broadway, I don't have that kind of energy or stamina.
Musicals are to the theater what wines are to a substantial dinner.
My best memories growing up are of putting on musicals with my mom and dad, Both of them are real hams; it was like vaudeville in East Hampton.
My father is a South African actor who danced in broadway musicals for 'Lion King.'
I grew up doing musicals. I've done so many musicals in my life, I kind of got them out of my system. But, I certainly would be open to them. Rocky Horror Show is a big favorite of mine.
I was at a school in England, a prep school, from the ages of 8 and 13. And every play they did was a musical. Parents love musicals. And I don't sing. It was driving me crazy. 'We're doing 'Macbeth.' 'Yes!' 'The musical!' And I was always in the chorus, because of course, in all the main parts, you had to be able to sing.
I like musicals and I love music.
You know, sound was still a fairly new thing when I came into movies. And the reason musicals happened is because of sound. They could put music in the picture! That's how it all began.
I'm not really a 'puppet' person in particular; I think they are very theatrical, and I've found different uses for them in shows, but my true interest is in writing Broadway musicals.
When I was a kid, I grew up watching musicals.
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.
All I listened to until age 18 growing up was musical theater. I liked the escapism of it.
I did a lot of stage plays and musicals, and my first proper acting job was on 'Holby City' when I was 15.
I'm a devotee of Stephen Sondheim. I think he's a genius.
I started in theatre. I went to the Boston Conservatory and majored in musical theater.
Honestly, musicals? I just can't. What if this was real life and I was just walking down the street on Rodeo Drive and all of a sudden I just burst into song about how much I love shoes?
I think that kids need to grow up watching what I grew up watching - great entertainment; you know, Judy Garland and all these musicals that bring song and dance and acting all together in a polished way.
