If Broadway shows charge preview prices while the cast is in dress rehearsal, why should restaurants charge full price when their dining room and kitchen staffs are still practicing?

Is Hollywood the cruelest city in the world? Well, it can be. New York can be that, too. You can be a Broadway star here one night, and something happens, and out--nobody knows you on the street. They forget you ever lived. It happens in Hollywood, too.
Buster Keaton

When I heard about [the Broadway play] "Hair", I was kind of curious about the six naked primates on stage. So I called up the box office and they said tickets were $11 apiece. That`s an awful price to pay. I went into the bathroom at home and took off al...

I would love to do Broadway, I don`t think there`s anything more amazing than theatre. Okay, Supergirl is number one. Maybe I could be Supergirl on Broadway! That would be perfect.

The good thing about bicycling is that, since I`m a public figure, I don`t have to interact with people. If I walk from here to West Broadway, 50 people will stop me. On my bike, I can just wave. More public figures should ride bikes. It`s a good way to d...
Vincent Gallo
It`s a tricky character, right on the edge of Uncle Remus. But, I knew how to play him right away. I knew when I read it. I just saw him -- the dignity in the character. The only time I ever worried about it was when I was doing the show Off-Broadway, and...
Morgan Freeman
I`m not gay, so I don`t know much about Broadway musicals. - while a contestant on the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" celebrity episode that aired on August 5, 2001.
Norm MacDonald
You know, I was hanging out with Sidney Poitier and we were trying to decide if he or I were the better actor. We decided it was me as I convinced the world I could sing. (Freeman debuted on Broadway in 1968 in "Hello, Dolly!")
Morgan Freeman
[when asked if he ever wanted to act on the stage] "Not since I was at Grinnell. When I gave them the story that I was trying to do a Broadway play, I must have been desperate for publicity. I figured it didn`t matter what I said. I learned very early tha...

The two biggest moments of my life were walking on-stage (as an actor) in Tony Kushner`s Angels in America on opening night on Broadway. The second was being nominated for a screenplay Oscar along with him. [on Oscar nomination for Capote (2005) on 31 Jan...
Dan Futterman
I worked with him in the mid-`60s on Broadway in New York, and I was just a kid starting out and he was a big star and a character star, and the joy was that because he looked older he was playing wonderful older character roles which made him, I think, t...
Diana Muldaur
You bet I arrived overnight. Over a few hundred nights in the Catskills, in vaudeville, in clubs and on Broadway. [On being an overnight film success in the 1940s]
Danny Kaye
At MGM, I always played the second feminine lead. I was never the star in films. I was the brassy, good-hearted showgirl. I never really had my big moment on the screen. Broadway gave me the stardom that my soul kind of yearned for.
Ann Miller
I was pretty much a basket case for the first year - I didn`t think I was that good. Then when the Tony nomination came through and I got the Theatre World Award - I really thought they gave it to me `cause there was no-one else.. (on her Broadway debut)
Phyllis Hyman
Musical theater is oh, my dream. My passion. Music is in my veins. Just being able to mix that passion with my other passion, for acting, would be unbelievable. I have to brush up on my dancing, but I`d definitely love to hit Broadway.
Bethany Lenz
Acting? It`s a longstanding compulsion I`ve had since I was about five or six years old. I can literally identify the moment it struck me. I went to see a play [If I Were a Princess] in which a babysitter of mine [Betsy True, who later acted on Broadway] ...
Edward Norton
I would never `abandon` Broadway. I do want to expand my horizons and do more film work, but I`m interested in good roles, wherever they may be. I will always come back, even if I went to LA for a job. I refuse to acknowledge the gap between theater and f...

My Mom took me to see Annie on Broadway when I was little and I just wanted to be doing what those girls were doing. I was that annoying little girl who sang the (Annie) soundtrack all the time. My Mom would be like, please stop with the singing!". All I`...

This is satire. I am a satirist. Modern-day society has this obsession with needing to know every ounce of angst about performers` lives, to the point that it becomes more important than whether they can perform. [On his Broadway show Martin Short: Fame B...
Martin Short
Upon getting work as an off-Broadway actor in 1967: I made $70 a week as an actor and I`d been making $60 in LA. Making more than that as an actor was just unbelievable to me. I never went back to typing but had some real lean times in-between. But I didn...
Morgan Freeman
Im basically tired of doing what I have been doing for the last 10 years. My interest level was dipping. I was doing a fairly good job, when compared to others. The standards I have set for myself are higher. When I watched the Broadway show Miss Saigon, ...

A long time ago, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a pop star. Then I started taking acting classes. I moved to New York when I was a teenager, and really wanted to be a serious actor. I wanted to do off-Broadway, I wanted to do [Anton Chekhov], [William S...
