extremely fortunate to have the original trailblazer back in the saddle,"

involved with the company Broadway Across America has evolved, the very
nature of live theatrical entertainment has evolved and I have evolved. To
have the chance to revisit it with objectivity is a rare opportunity. Over
the past year since Key Brand acquired Broadway Across America, John Gore
and his team have reinvigorated this company and restored its ambition and
vitality. I look forward to continuing that vitality and to many rewarding
years ahead," said Mr. Wilkin.
