Quotable Quotes:
"It was an amazing experience. Despite all the bad press and the people who made fun of it, we enjoyed every minute. Three weeks ago, we had a reunion picnic in Central Park. It was crazy, wacky and wild. Everyone in New York didn't like it, but my parents liked it and a lot of people from out of town connected with the weirdness of it. It's a shame [director/writer] Joe Brooks got panned because he's the sweetest man." —Groff to Broadway.com on his experience with the Broadway show In My Life (06/06) |
