I started in theatre. I went to the Boston Conservatory and majored in musical theater.

If there is a Busta Rhymes of musical theater, it probably is Mandy Patinkin.

I'm a musical theater aficionado, a.k.a. loser.

At one point, I was hell-bent on being a Disney animator, and sort of got over that in college and wanted to do my own stuff. You know, towards the end of college I had actually planned to go to the Boston Conservatory of Music for musical theater.

Sondheim is the Shakespeare of the musical theater world.

From day one, musical theater was my bread and butter.
