00:00Well, I have to honestly say, from the very first day we opened this in New York back
00:08in the 60s, we were protested every single day out in front of the theater at Broadway
00:14and 52nd.
00:16Every single day, it was almost impossible for us to get in the building, literally.
00:21They didn't want us to go in that horrible place and do what that horrible stuff we were
00:25doing on stage.
00:26And that's been going off and on ever since.
00:29I mean, that whole first year that we were there, everybody protested this horrible thing
00:36called Jesus Christ Superstar.
00:38So I just want you to know that I have nothing whatsoever to say about who plays what character
00:44or how they play it or anything.
00:46I have not seen Wicked.
00:48I have not heard this person sing.
00:51So I know nothing about this person.
00:53But however, I feel that it's up to the director and producer to decide who's playing what
00:58character in the show.
01:01So I can't badmouth anybody.
01:03All I can do is just say I hope that you do a great job and the show's wonderful.
