I knew three or four years ago that we had to open in a grand, special way. I wanted to make sure we had this particular production, so we looked outrageously grand and glorious. |
I wanted to do it in the best possible way with great integrity - get rid of the bits where the audience sits through and yawns and keep it moving but not Reader's Digest. |
You can't develop dancers with three performances over one weekend. And you also cannot develop audiences and you also cannot develop sponsorships. Why would someone want to pay to be a sponsor of a production that is over in one weekend? |
