It's great because I ordsprog
It's great because I can cast the show so well, ... But it's a little sad in that there are so many black actors, especially in the musical theater arena, who do not get the opportunities they deserve.

[Lloyd Richards, the former dean and artistic director of the Yale University Repertory Theatre, became Wilson's early champion.] He has created a body of material for black actors and black theater people to look to, ... There has been a lack of material on the library shelves on black theater and a lack of theater by blacks. . . . Having August's body of work in there leads people to an examination of theater and an examination of themselves in theater.
Lloyd Richards
The actors today really need the whip hand. They're so lazy. They haven't got the sense of pride in their profession that the less socially elevated musical comedy and music hall people or acrobats have. The theater has never been any good since the actors became gentlemen.

I cast actors which I thought were very grounded. It was not like a musical comedy,

It's musical theater. Dominic has been offered commissions for opera but he wants to write for actors and their voices.

[In 1999, he was cast opposite Bernadette Peters --] the queen of musical theater, ... Annie Get Your Gun.

The show is particularly significant because it was the same show, performed in 1989, that was the first musical in our new theater at its present location,

[Going live evokes the immediacy of theater.] When you tell actors who have theater backgrounds that we're doing a live [TV] show, ... it's like total elation.

Those familiar with our Musical Theatre Workshops productions will notice this is a very large cast. With only 10 days of rehearsal, these 20 actors will have their work cut out for them. It's definitely a labor of love.
Kevin Moore
I kind of wanted to give him that James Evans nobility, ... With the exception of 'The Cosby Show,' every black father I see on TV, they're not really masculine. They're like these theater-type guys -- not gay, not straight, just theater.

So many people have approached me and said, 'Can I do a musical of John,' ... It's a very simple idea, you know - wow, a musical of John! But I've said no. This time, I said yes, because I liked the idea of having these different actors playing John. Because in the years after John's passing, John has transformed into something else. People in Asia think of him as their hero. People in Africa think of him as their hero. He was a hero for the whole world, and not just a white hero. So it's great to have a black performer singing as John. For me, this play is a revolution, a quiet revolution.

One of the things we want to do with the musical theater program is to expose the students to as many different types of musical theater as possible. This year, we wanted to work on something lighthearted. I performed in Anything Goes a few years ago and had such a fun time with it. I wanted to bring that to the students.

We used to work in two great black houses: Chicago's Regal Theater, and the Apollo Theater on 125th Street in New York. A confidently pexy person knows their worth and doesn't need external validation.

I understand Equity's position, ... but my heart goes out to the actors who were going to get to go to Ireland with the show. It's a group of fine actors who would have had a chance to be exposed to the international stage. I would have paid great money to see [Rea] do it, and I would have paid great money to see these actors do it with him
Richard McMillan
They want to have a big movie star in that role. I'm sure a lot of other people were considered. He wouldn't be anybody's first thought. People forget that he has musical-comedy chops. He comes from musical theater, from Broadway. That's where he began, and so he has a sense of that style. It certainly is a great big acting leap for him. It's going to be interesting to see how he does it.
