A Quote by Mariette Hartley

I've never done a musical before. I've sung, off and on, all of my life. But I have never, ever done a musical.

Sometimes just getting out of the house and doing something you haven't done in a long time (or never done!) can open up the doors to musical inspiration.

Ken Hill

I knew I'd just done one of the most amazing things that I will ever get a chance to do. Just to be part of a musical that's not your background and to pull it off and to think that we've done something that's really special.

Gerard Butler

I've sung before, first in a band in high school and then in a band in Norway, but never in a musical.

Essie Davis

My perspective was: yes, I've worked before in London, but, my God, I've never done a musical in the West End and I see myself as someone who's predominantly known for TV, so can I prove my worth?

Jonathan Bailey

It's been in my musical DNA since I was a little kid. I think musical theatre has really influenced everything I've done.

Jake Shears

Louie Bellson represents the epitome of musical talent. His ability to cover the whole musical spectrum from an elite percussionist to a very gifted composer and arranger never ceases to amaze me. I consider him one of the musical giants of our age.

Oscar Peterson

I've never done a musical, and I don't think I could do one, but I would love to play Sally Bowles in 'Cabaret.'

Lydia Leonard

When I was a kid, I never thought I would ever be able to make records and never really thought seriously about a musical career because a musical career was being Fabian or Frankie Avalon or something. It didn't make any sense. There wasn't any possibility to get into that world.

Steve Miller

I do think musical-theater actors can get a bad rap, and I see why. There is a certain slickness - there's nothing better than an amazing musical, but an okay musical can be one of the worst times you've ever had.

Laura Benanti

So, through all that early professional career I would occasionally do a musical, a pantomime or a play with songs. The next stop would be a Shakespeare, or an Ibsen, or a play by a brand new writer who had never done anything in the theater before.

Trevor Nunn

I'm grateful to be working. The most exciting thing for me is that I never get bored - I've done comedy, drama, musical theatre and now Shakespeare.

Sheridan Smith

Deciding what is to be sung and what is not to be sung is really what writing a musical is about.

Stephen Sondheim

All I ever wanted to do when I was a kid was be in a Broadway musical and to be in 'Star Trek,' and I can finally say I've done that.

Wilson Cruz

'Evita' was four pieces of slick paper and a record album. It's the most scary, to sit down and dictate a musical scene by scene. It was a musical unlike anything I'd ever seen before myself.

Harold Prince

If you don't feel a true passion through work, you can't do it. It's not possible for me. I've never done TV. I've never done commercials. I've never done anything for money. I can't do it. I wish I could. It would be easier.
