When we started looking at the bigger television ecosystem, you see that there's not that many serialized TV shows being made for TV. The economics are lousy: They don't sell into syndication well; they're expensive to produce.

Ted Sarandos

We didn't go to Broadway musicals when I was growing up; it was too expensive.

Leslie Odom, Jr.

There are no large-scale original musicals being made right now. They're all Broadway adaptations and jukebox musicals or catalog musicals, and they just don't interest me as much.

Damien Chazelle

I would love to. A dream of mine is to produce films, as well as to produce content for television.

Janet Jackson

There's no real music on television unless it's music television, and then it's expensive videos, which people like me can't do.

Jamie Lawson

Musicals are so expensive to put on the stage that you have to have the backing of a corporate, you have to have Universal Studios or Disney or somebody to put in the money.

Stephen Sondheim

Bachata is expensive to produce because of all of the instruments.

Prince Royce

Fake news is cheap to produce. Genuine journalism is expensive.

Toomas Hendrik Ilves

I was fortunate enough to work at the peak of the great golden age of musicals. And then for awhile, I think they were being advanced in different ways. Andrew Lloyd-Webber brought the rock beat to musicals; people tried different things. The joy of musicals is that there is no perfect recipe; it is what you throw into it.

Julie Andrews

Musicals are — particularly musicals — plays also, but musicals particularly are… the last collaborator is your audience, and so you’ve got to wait ’til the last collaborator comes in before you can complete the collaboration.

Stephen Sondheim

In France, it is television that pays for films to be made and I received all of my funding from TV: two television channels, government funding and distributor contribution (Wild Bunch). My films are low-budget, and not expensive [to make].

Emmanuelle Bercot

I love going to see musicals. That was one of the major reasons why losing the chance to produce 'La La Land' was so painful.

Jason Blum

I'd been brought up on musicals. Instead of cartoons, we watched videocassettes of musicals at home.

Rachel Tucker

When I was growing up, there were so many musicals you could watch. I like the fantasy of musicals and I love music.

Queen Latifah

Summer blockbusters are very expensive to make. They have things that have to be expensive, such as 600 effects shots or CG characters that have to go a certain way, or a film design that is different but expensive.
