A beautiful, heartfelt interview. Thank you!

Wonderful interview. You were great. She was great. This is one of the great Musicals, I think. It gives you so much to think about, and to connect with in your own Past. I'm so glad it is now a popular Success; and I hope it is rewarded at this year's Tonys.

Go see it if you can! It’s a shame it’s not being filmed for a streaming release-it deserves to be captured. This cast, this production, this time.

I would love this to be filmed but the 2013 London version is already professional filmed and screened. Same direction and design, obviously different cast. So doubt this one will be filmed!! :(
