Weiner shared, "Andrew gave me ‘Phantom’ to try something new creatively and with [a different] business model," About CATS: The Jellicle Ball, Weiner went on to say, "I’m one guy. I’m not an industry, but I would do anything to help them. I love that show. I would build a whole club for it. I would get the bar, dancing afterwards and support this thing."
