[As nice as it is to imagine future Tony Award winners getting their start at NYMF,] the goal isn't to make it about the commercial future, ... One of our goals was to amplify the work that writers and musical theatre organizations are doing. |
It allows for Tony winners and other people with limited availability to take part, |
We don't see the festival as an end-point for these shows, ... It's a launching pad, a stepping stone for productions. |
We thought it was important that we were not limited to just what came in the mail, |
We want everyone to do as much as they canto showcase the show and performers to the best of their ability. |
