Sondheim is the Shakespeare of the musical theater world.

Mandy Patinkin

I'm a weird dichotomy of nerd, sports fan, and musical theater, so I'd love to do a superhero musical on Broadway. But all the good superheroes are claimed.

Taran Killam

Popular music of the last 50 years has failed to keep in step with advances in musical theater, namely Stephen Sondheim. But the two have grown apart so that popular music is based more than ever on a rhythmic grid that is irrelevant in musical theater. In popular music, words matter less and less. Especially now that it's so international, the fewer words the better. While theater music becomes more and more confined to a few blocks in midtown.

Stephin Merritt

I would love to do stuff on camera. That's what I want to do. It took me a really long time to feel confident as an actor. I think, also, because there's a weird stigma about musical theater where we treat the men who do musical theater differently than we treat the women in musical theater.

Barrett Wilbert Weed

Sondheim's work especially, and musical theater like that, just spoke to me so much and taught me so many lessons.

Randy Rainbow

One hundred percent, all your Shakespeare training serves you in the work in musical theater today: specifically in modern musical theater, our soliloquies, and now what we call rap. It's the reason it's so easy to learn, because it's verse; it's rhyme! It just sticks in the soul very easily.

Renee Elise Goldsberry

I am concerned about the musical theater, selfishly, because I love it.

Joel Grey

The musical is the one area of the theater that can give you the biggest buzz of all.

Cameron Mackintosh

Musical theater is an American genre. It started really, in America, as a combination of jazz and operetta; most of the great musical theater writers in the golden era are American. I think that to do a musical is a very American thing to me.

Rachel Bloom

I always wanted to do musical theater. That was where I saw my life going since I was a musical theater major in college before I went to Pentatonix.

Kirstin Maldonado

'Cabaret' was one of the first pieces of musical theater I saw that showed the possibilities of what musical theater can do.

Tom Kitt

I'm the biggest nerd you know. I'm a nerd, I'm a techie, and I don't have a problem with saying it.

Grizz Chapman

The three theater peeps I would love to dine with are Mel Brooks, because he is so funny; Stephen Sondheim, because he is a god-like genius; and Ethel Merman, to compare notes on fabulous belting.

Nancy Allen

In college, I actually majored in Musical Theater. I was pursuing a BFA in Musical Theater.

Grant Gustin

When I was younger, I definitely thought musical theater was sort of more pure than film. I used to say I'd never go to film because we had to get it right the first time in musical theater. But then, of course, I started doing film and realized I loved it. Keep in mind that I was 8 years old when I said that.
