"I actually almost turned down my role in The Emperor's Club. It was between the film and a play that I wanted to do. Ultimately, I definitely made the right decision.

We encompassed many melodies that the audience has already heard throughout the first act. Our lead character, Olive, is dealing with an affair, an unfulfilled marriage and a downward spiral into drugs and alcohol. She is confused and we believe the music really reflects that.

[when asked what songs from other musicals he wish he'd written] Stephen Sondheim's 'Moments in the Woods' from 'Into the Woods' and 'Around the World' from 'Grey Gardens,' by Scott Frankel and Michael Korie. Both have such vivid lyrics, with whimsical and original rhyme schemes, which are paramount. (Excerpt from interview with The New York Times - September 2011) Show less «
