I think 'Hand to God' is going to change the landscape of Broadway. I think Broadway, truthfully, will never be the same. ~ Geneva Carr
Broadway quotes by Geneva Carr
Everyone would like to be on Broadway, cause if a show works, you make a great deal of money and it allows you to write other shows. ~ Stephen Sondheim
Broadway quotes by Stephen Sondheim
Lapin breaks away from Broadway and picks a path toward Telegraph Hill. Her velocity is steady, even as the landscape rises underneath her; she's the little eccentric that could. ~ Robin Sloan
Broadway quotes by Robin Sloan
I would like to win the Pulitzer Prize. I would like to win the Nobel Prize. I would like to win a Tony award for the Broadway musical I'm now working on. Aside from these, my aspirations are modest ones. ~ Evan Hunter
Broadway quotes by Evan Hunter
I'd love to go back to Broadway if there was a place for me there. I would absolutely go back; it's just a part of me. ~ Brooke Elliott
Broadway quotes by Brooke Elliott
There's a lot of pressure on Broadway. There's this feeling that the show has to be a commercial success and the producers have to make their money back and Tonys and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. ~ Laura Benanti
Broadway quotes by Laura Benanti
The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers
of persistence, concentration, and insight
to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply. ~ Susan Cain
Broadway quotes by Susan Cain
It's lovely that the Hollywood stars are crossing over to Broadway ... There used to be such a dividing line in the country between Hollywood and the theatre and that's just melting away. It's just wonderful right now! ~ Julie Andrews
Broadway quotes by Julie Andrews
Singing is more of a hobby than really something I want to do for a career. But I love musical theater, so I'm hoping I can go back to it and do a role on Broadway for a few weeks. That would be a dream come true. My dream role would be Roxie in 'Chicago.' ~ Jillian Rose Reed
Broadway quotes by Jillian Rose Reed
The comparison might strike you as farfetched. What (you might be asking) can a Broadway musical possibly add to the legacy of a Founding Father--a giant of our national life, a war hero, a scholar, a statesman? What's one little play, or even one very big play, next to all that?
But there is more than one way to change the world . To secure their freedom, the polyglot American colonists had to come together, and stick together, in the face of enormous adversity. To live in a new way, they first had to think and feel in a new way. It took guns and ships to win the American Revolution, but it also required pamphlets and speeches--and at least one play. ~ Jeremy McCarter
Broadway quotes by Jeremy McCarter
I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek. ~ Mandy Moore
Broadway quotes by Mandy Moore
I want a TV series, I'm gonna do some acting jobs, I'm gonna do some Broadway jobs, everything! ~ Estelle
Broadway quotes by Estelle
I've worked with a lot of gay and lesbian organizations. I sit on the board of the Empire State Pride Agenda. I've also done a lot of work for Broadway Care/Equity Fights AIDS. I think it's important because, when we can be of service to others, it only enhances our lives. I've been helped a lot in my life. ~ Billy Porter
Broadway quotes by Billy Porter
When I talk to young people who want to go to Broadway or whatever, I say, 'The highs are very high and the lows are very low and then there is a lot in between.' ~ Liz Callaway
Broadway quotes by Liz Callaway
People need to understand. If they go to a show on Broadway and find seventy people working but only fifty spectators, how much would the ticket cost? That's what El Bulli's about. There are seventy actors who are playing for just fifty spectators. Is the price expensive? It's relative. How much does a normal dinner at a five-star hotel restaurant cost? Four hundred dollars. It's the same as El Bulli. But you can also think of it this way: How much would it cost to eat something that nobody else is eating? ~ Ferran Adria
Broadway quotes by Ferran Adria
I'm writing new songs for a Broadway version of Tarzan, which is very interesting. I think what I learned from the Brother Bear score side of things, I've brought into the new Tarzan songs. Thinking outside just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. ~ Phil Collins
Broadway quotes by Phil Collins
I think Broadway is good for sharpening your skills. It's the best for really reaching the zenith of your talent. You go so far and reach the peak of it and you say, "Maybe this is the best performance I can do." ~ Michael Jackson
Broadway quotes by Michael Jackson
Duke Ellington's career traces the entire history of jazz. The repertoire associated with him contains the most important elements in the music and provides concrete examples of some of the best ways to present the music in the widest variety of settings-radio, TV, recordings, movies, concert halls, festivals, solo, small ensemble, big band, symphony orchestra, opera, Broadway shows ... You name it, he did it! ~ Billy Taylor
Broadway quotes by Billy Taylor
Producers on Broadway approached us with an original script after relaunching ourselves as 'A Great Big World,' and wanted us to write the music. They asked us to make the music we would sing if we could, and so we can go a little crazier. We refer to it as 'our music on steroids.' ~ Ian Axel
Broadway quotes by Ian Axel
A lot of my friends were a lot into theatre a lot earlier than I was. A lot of my friends were kids who were in The Broadway Kids and the kids auditioning for Gavroche in 'Les Miz.' I was never that kid. I was weaned on Michael Jackson. Not literally, because that would have been odd. ~ Erich Bergen
Broadway quotes by Erich Bergen
Over the years, I managed to develop this comedy career, went from opening act to headliner at comedy clubs, to playing concert halls, and had an off-Broadway show with 'Sleepwalk With Me.' ~ Mike Birbiglia
Broadway quotes by Mike Birbiglia
What a glorious garden of wonders the lights of Broadway would be to anyone lucky enough to be unable to read. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Broadway quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
I've just been more interested in doing film right now and I don't want to go away from my family for six months, which was what I would have had to have done if I did the play on Broadway. ~ Mark Ruffalo
Broadway quotes by Mark Ruffalo
Any chance I had to get in front of people - amateur talent contests at movie houses like the Broadway, the president - I took. ~ Frankie Avalon
Broadway quotes by Frankie Avalon
There is a problem on the so-called commercial stage in New York. The price of a ticket is exorbitant, and there are no longer original productions possible, apparently, on the commercial stage. They are all plays that were taken from either England or smaller theaters, off-Broadway theaters, and so on. The one justification there used to be for the commercial theater was that it originated everything we had, and now it originates nothing. But the powers that be seem perfectly content to have it that way. They don't risk anything anymore, and they simply pick off the cream. ~ Arthur Miller
Broadway quotes by Arthur Miller
Love's agony is the pain of ink on a needle buried into skin, the necessary sting, and something beautiful blossoming under its touch. ~ Alice Broadway
Broadway quotes by Alice Broadway
Two Smartass Jews Walk into a Bar...
Two smartass Jews walk into a bar
in Hell's Kitchen, New York.
The Irish bartender asks the first Jew,
'What will you have?'
The first Jew points to the second Jew and says,
'I'll have what's he's having.'
The bartender then asks the second Jew,
'So, what will you have?'
The second Jew points to his friend the first Jew and says,
'I'll have what's he's having.'
The bartender becomes so discombobulated,
he drinks himself to death.

This story has no moral ~
all we have is one dead drunken Irish bartender on the floor
and two smartass New York Jews high-fiving each other
on their way to a Broadway show. ~ Beryl Dov
Broadway quotes by Beryl Dov
I have theatre-training, I love doing theatre, I've done Broadway. ~ Stephen Tobolowsky
Broadway quotes by Stephen Tobolowsky
It's hard to think it's important to try out as cheerleader when you're starring on Broadway. But you do kind of miss the things that I now see my children doing. I'm just happy they are not actors. The Valentine's Day dance is really important. Pitching in Little League is very important. And the medals and the scouts are really important. ~ Bonnie Bedelia
Broadway quotes by Bonnie Bedelia
The most wonderful street in the universe is Broadway. It is a world within itself. High and low, rich and poor, pass along at a rate peculiar to New York, and positively bewildering to a stranger. ~ Frank Rich
Broadway quotes by Frank Rich
Secretly, I'm in awe of Broadway performers. I would love to perform at that level. I love the exchange with the audience. I love being able to sing and dance to express your emotions and the community and friendships that are formed when working on a theater piece. ~ Brianna Brown
Broadway quotes by Brianna Brown
I've done some TV and I've done a lot of theater, obviously, and the last character I played on Broadway was a very fast-talking broad. I'm used to learning material and words. ~ Sutton Foster
Broadway quotes by Sutton Foster
I was in 'Jacques Brel' Off-Broadway for many years, so I've always been a singing actress, but the songwriting was a complete surprise. I had never written a song in my life. We were on the road with 'Jacques Brel' doing the national tour, and I picked up a guitar one day and I wrote a song. ~ Amanda McBroom
Broadway quotes by Amanda McBroom
I'm unable to do the thing that Broadway actors do in plays, sometimes for years. The same exact blocking, the same exact lines. I'm a little bit uncomfortable with that. Every night I'm looking for ways to try something else. ~ Mike Birbiglia
Broadway quotes by Mike Birbiglia
I'm as anxious as any viewer would be to see what Temple is going to do next. All I know is that in the second half of the season, he's going to have more sexual tension developing. And it's a great cast - they're all Broadway actors except for me. I aspire to that. ~ Sean Patrick Thomas
Broadway quotes by Sean Patrick Thomas
I get psyched about coming onto a Broadway stage every night. it's very exciting. You develop a kind of gratefulness for it when you spend months trying to get a job. ~ Sebastian Stan
Broadway quotes by Sebastian Stan
I probably never would have been hired on Broadway had I not moved out to L.A. and pursued acting and film, which is sad, really. ~ Amy Adams
Broadway quotes by Amy Adams
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes! ~ Les Miserables The Broadway Musical
Broadway quotes by Les Miserables The Broadway Musical
I think as a writer you never have to flee from fame because you're not that visible in the first place, but, after the Broadway success of 'Beauty Queen,' people were coming up to me all the time, and I wasn't really prepared for that level of attention. ~ Martin McDonagh
Broadway quotes by Martin McDonagh
I enjoyed the courtroom as just another stage but not so amusing as Broadway. ~ Mae West
Broadway quotes by Mae West
Going to America is the best prize, so fingers crossed it will work out on Broadway. ~ James Corden
Broadway quotes by James Corden
Friends, let this encourage you to live lives worthy of the calling we have received. Live lives to be remembered, friends. ~ Alice Broadway
Broadway quotes by Alice Broadway
I went to School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, and we had a bunch of singing classes. My first job in New York was an Off-Broadway musical. ~ Anna Camp
Broadway quotes by Anna Camp
I would not like to live in the past because you don't get anesthetic when you go to the dentist. You don't get antibiotics. You don't get the things that you are used to now, cell phones and televisions and things that are very convenient. You don't want that. But, it would be fun if you could, every now and then, just meet a friend for lunch at Maxim's in Paris in 1900, or go back to 1870 just for a couple of hours, take a walk in the park, and then come right back to Broadway. ~ Woody Allen
Broadway quotes by Woody Allen
My story is so boring: Long Island Jewish parents take their daughters to Broadway. ~ Idina Menzel
Broadway quotes by Idina Menzel
I've gone from a kid who was sneaking out of my childhood house and lying to my parents to do shows in a community theatre in Reading, PA, to now having two shows on Broadway opening within two months of each other. That's sort of crazy, that trajectory. ~ Douglas Carter Beane
Broadway quotes by Douglas Carter Beane
I know, for me, you know, my generation - I never would have known anything about Robert Preston's performance in 'The Music Man' if there hadn't been a film where he played the part. I just heard how great he was on Broadway way before my time. ~ John Lloyd Young
Broadway quotes by John Lloyd Young
I can go out raw with nothing, and my fans would still be happy, but I feel that I owe it to them to give them almost like a Broadway musical at this point in my life. I have to give them something more, so I do have to think of different ways to do it. ~ Mary J. Blige
Broadway quotes by Mary J. Blige
My life is more than my marks show, surely? I more to tell than this. My skin tells of the tale the government has chosen for me. I have a sudden yearning to fill every inch so that nothing is lost. ~ Alice Broadway
Broadway quotes by Alice Broadway
The Thirties had seen the first generation of American industrial designers; until the Thirties, all pencil sharpeners looked like pencil sharpeners - your basic Victorian mechanism, perhaps with a curlicue of decorative trim. After the advent of the designers, some pencil sharpeners looked as though they'd been put together in wind tunnels. For the most part, the change was only skin-deep; under the streamlined chrome shell, you'd find the same Victorian mechanism. Which made a certain kind of sense, because the most successful American designers had been recruited from the ranks of Broadway theater designers. It was all a stage set, a series of elaborate props for playing at living in the future. ~ William Gibson
Broadway quotes by William Gibson
I certainly have dreams of being on a Broadway stage someday, if they'll have me. I think I want to stay really open to whatever possibilities present themselves. ~ Sara Bareilles
Broadway quotes by Sara Bareilles
In a musically imperfect world, there is still perfection in the voice of Barbara Cook. For anyone eulogizing the historic scores of a long-lost era of Broadway greatness, not to worry. Somebody is still singing them with purity and passion. She is Barbara Cook, and she sings them for the angels to applaud. ~ Rex Reed
Broadway quotes by Rex Reed
Hollywood has its Oscars. Television has its Emmys. Broadway has its Tonys. And advertising has its Clios. And its Andys, Addys, Effies and Obies. And 117 other assorted awards. And those are just the big ones. ~ Joanne Lipman
Broadway quotes by Joanne Lipman
I was a weird kid. I should've been gay because I listened to a lot of Broadway musicals. I don't know why I'm not gay. ~ Frank Oz
Broadway quotes by Frank Oz
A dilettantism in nature is barren and unworthy. A fop of fields is no better than his brother on Broadway. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Broadway quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chance to work on Broadway choreography as opposed to having to deliver Broadway choreography can be two distinct things. ~ Damian Woetzel
Broadway quotes by Damian Woetzel
Ah walk doon Hammersmith Broadway, London seeming strange and alien, after only a three-month absence, as familiar places do when you've been away. It's as if everything is a copy of what you knew before, similar, yet somehow lacking in its usual qualities, a bit like the wey things are in a dream. They say you have to live in a place to know it, but you have to come fresh tae really see it. ~ Irvine Welsh
Broadway quotes by Irvine Welsh
Mother of three; divorcee; American. Twenty years experience as an actress in motion pictures. Mobile still and more affable than rumour would have it. Wants steady employment in Hollywood. (Has had Broadway). References upon request. ~ Bette Davis
Broadway quotes by Bette Davis
I so miss musical theater. Secretly, I'm in awe of Broadway performers. ~ Brianna Brown
Broadway quotes by Brianna Brown
I remember telling the agent, 'I don't want to do anything but Broadway.' She was like, 'That's not really possible because there is not that much Broadway. So I'll send you out on TV and stuff like that.' ~ Kate Mara
Broadway quotes by Kate Mara
I was shooting the third season of 'The Big C' and doing 'The Normal Heart' at the same time on Broadway, and I thought, 'I'll never do anything as difficult as this.' ~ John Benjamin Hickey
Broadway quotes by John Benjamin Hickey
I got into a Broadway show before I ever sang and danced. I learned how after I got in the show. ~ Dick Van Dyke
Broadway quotes by Dick Van Dyke
Pretend you're not alone, Like you are center stage on Broadway. 'Cause when you're on your own a little opera goes a long way. ~ Sky Sailing Adam Young
Broadway quotes by Sky Sailing Adam Young
I wanted to write for Broadway. ~ Cynthia Weil
Broadway quotes by Cynthia Weil
I think I can work anywhere, but you don't get the same kind of inspiration everywhere. New York theater has become a big inspiration for me. I only started writing for the stage myself because I like to see the good, mostly off-Broadway plays in New York. ~ Daniel Kehlmann
Broadway quotes by Daniel Kehlmann
I go down the street thinking, 'Oh my God, I live in New York.' But then I think, 'Oh my God, I'm on Broadway!' ~ Ciara Renee
Broadway quotes by Ciara Renee
I love New York. I'm working on Broadway, and it's a great way for me to get my feet wet in acting and a great way to season yourself as a performer. ~ Taylor Hicks
Broadway quotes by Taylor Hicks
When I saw 'Legally Blonde' on Broadway, I rang my agent and said 'I want to be seen for this,' but the rest weren't big choices, really. 'Hedda Gabler' was a phone call offering it to me, and as I've said before quite embarrassingly, I didn't know the play, so I didn't sit there thinking 'I would now like to tackle Ibsen.' ~ Sheridan Smith
Broadway quotes by Sheridan Smith
You can't make money on Broadway. You make nothing. You maybe make like $1,350 a week after you pay out all the producers. ~ Colin Quinn
Broadway quotes by Colin Quinn
Broadway is really my life. ~ Vanessa Williams
Broadway quotes by Vanessa Williams
The first song I ever learned to sing and play on the piano was 'I Remember Sky' when I was 10 years old. I remember thinking, This is the most beautiful song I will ever hear. And that remains true for me to this day. His music is the sole reason I wanted to be on Broadway. I wanted to sing music that transports us to the most important place one can travel, our hearts. ~ Laura Benanti
Broadway quotes by Laura Benanti
I was struck by how life moved so fast, almost cruelly, on Broadway. Fiorello! had fled the Broadhurst to make way for Sail Away, as if it had never existed. I studied each such metamorphosis with contradictory emotions of excitement and loss. With their new marquees and posters and glass-encased displays of fresh photos, the theaters promised a teeming bounty of surprises. But there remained not a shred of their previous tenants, who were gone forever and mourned by no one, perhaps, except me. When shows left the National, I knew they were going on to Broadway or at least to another town on the road. Where did the plays that left New York go? ~ Frank Rich
Broadway quotes by Frank Rich
I don't think of myself as a TV actor. I think of myself as a film, television and Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor. ~ David Duchovny
Broadway quotes by David Duchovny
Somewhere along the line, a concert became a variety show. It was no longer enough for four dudes to play together in front of some guitar amps. Costume changes, an army of dancers, and Broadway theatrics suddenly became standard for a 'concert.' ~ Shawn Amos
Broadway quotes by Shawn Amos
People see a lot of huge stuff on Broadway, but there's always Off-Broadway energy and also shows that you can work in. ~ Loretta Devine
Broadway quotes by Loretta Devine
I am only satisfied insofar as I feel 'Broadway Boogie Woogie' is a definite progress, but even about this picture I am not quite satisfied. There is still too much of the old in it. ~ Piet Mondrian
Broadway quotes by Piet Mondrian
I dropped the 'Bundy' with my country music because I wanted it to be two separate things: There's me as a songwriter and a country singer, and there's me as a Broadway performer. ~ Laura Bell Bundy
Broadway quotes by Laura Bell Bundy
I was in 27 Broadway plays, and three of them got the Pulitzer Prize. ~ Dick Van Patten
Broadway quotes by Dick Van Patten
There was no doubt that there was a vast organization which was making fools of all the liberals in Hollywood and taking their money, that there was a police state among the Left element in Hollywood and Broadway. ~ Elia Kazan
Broadway quotes by Elia Kazan
I would like to play Broadway! ~ Elena Roger
Broadway quotes by Elena Roger
My mother's side of the family was in the production side of theatre. My grandfather, Jose Vega, was a general manager for Neil Simon shows on Broadway. ~ Yancy Butler
Broadway quotes by Yancy Butler
Better a square foot of New York than all the rest of the world in a lump - better a lamppost on Broadway than the brightest star in the sky. ~ Texas Guinan
Broadway quotes by Texas Guinan
I learnt a lot from my Broadway experience, it was one of the most challenging things I will probably ever have to do in my entire life, because it was eight shows a week - live singing with really hard choreography - and the spontaneity, you don't know what's going to happen. ~ Ariana Grande
Broadway quotes by Ariana Grande
Like Frankenweenie is a story about a boy and his dog, Big Fish is the story of a father and his son, and all those conversations you can't have. It's universal, in a way that can go from one medium to another medium. That's been the funnest, figuring out what we can do in a Broadway show that's unique and special. ~ John August
Broadway quotes by John August
When I was on Broadway, people would really just recognize me around the theater. When you're showing up on commercials and posters, the scope of people recognizing you gets a little wider. ~ Dan Fogler
Broadway quotes by Dan Fogler
In '92, I got my first Broadway show as a performer - 'Crazy for You.' I was in the ensemble. In fact, I was in eight Broadway shows as a dancer. Seven of them were original shows. That's how I learned to create something from the ground up. ~ Casey Nicholaw
Broadway quotes by Casey Nicholaw
I absolutely miss dancing. Don't want to do it for a living, I'm getting old, I can't move like I used to. If I had the opportunity to do something on Broadway or a musical, I would jump at the opportunity. ~ Michael K. Williams
Broadway quotes by Michael K. Williams
Broadway has the most savvy audience anywhere. They see everything and they know their theater. As sophisticated and subtle as you think you can be, the houses you get here will want something finer. ~ Richard Griffiths
Broadway quotes by Richard Griffiths
Mr. Brooks and I have been friends forever. He is in seventh heaven with his new success on Broadway. ~ Dom DeLuise
Broadway quotes by Dom DeLuise
I'm definitely nervous and excited. I feel like I've been playing off-Broadway, not to say that Boston doesn't have a great theatre district or great theatre, but it's not going to Broadway; it's just a different city. ~ Todd English
Broadway quotes by Todd English
It's hard being a Broadway actor going into film where you have to tone everything down. In theater, everything you're taught is to be big and broad and make everyone feel like they are right next to you, even in the last row of seats. ~ Keke Palmer
Broadway quotes by Keke Palmer
Do you want to stick needles in the living or scalpels in the dead? ~ Alice Broadway
Broadway quotes by Alice Broadway
The Theatre of the Absurd, in the sense that it is truly the contemporary theatre, facing as it does man's condition as it is, is the Realistic theatre of our time; and that the supposed Realistic theatre - the term used here to mean most of what is done on Broadway - in the sense that it panders to the public need for self-congratulation and reassurance and presents a false picture of ourselves to ourselves is ... really and truly The Theatre of the Absurd. ~ Edward Albee
Broadway quotes by Edward Albee
I always wanted to be on a great TV show and in a Broadway show and have a CD out, and the fact that they happened simultaneously is kind of an embarrassment of riches. ~ Cheyenne Jackson
Broadway quotes by Cheyenne Jackson
I'd like to one day be able to say, 'I was in more than one play on Broadway.' ~ Adriane Lenox
Broadway quotes by Adriane Lenox
I did a lot of musical theater when I was younger, and I really hope to get back there someday. I miss singing a lot. I listen to Broadway show tunes in my car and sing along to them. ~ Bridget Regan
Broadway quotes by Bridget Regan
When Mr. Ferris found out about the Broadway play, Clarence didn't stop rocking during the whole lab. ~ Gary D. Schmidt
Broadway quotes by Gary D. Schmidt
Southall Broadway, in west London, has been a constant part of my life from the day I arrived in England as a baby from Kenya in 1962. My parents rented a room in one of the terraces off the Broadway, and I've seen it change from an ordinary English high street to what is now 'Little India.' with a confident Asian community. ~ Gurinder Chadha
Broadway quotes by Gurinder Chadha
Don't know about a cabaret act right now, would actually prefer a role in a broadway musical. ~ Julia Barr
Broadway quotes by Julia Barr
I saw my first Broadway show when I was 10 years old. I saw 'Big: The Musical' and I remember going out to dinner with my mom afterward and reading the souvenir program like crazy! ~ Erich Bergen
Broadway quotes by Erich Bergen
