Jerry Herman quotes:

I have a beautiful address book a friend gave me in 1966. I literally cannot open it again. Ever. It sits on the shelf with over a hundred names crossed out. What is there to say? There are no words. I'll never understand why it happened to us.

I don't want the kind of theater that I love and grew up seeing to die out.

I'm trying to bring a new generation into the musical theater and to create a new audience.

I have a lot of friends who get up most mornings and go to jobs they absolutely hate. I don't think that's what life is about and I'm so fortunate that I actually love what I do.
