Omari Wiles and Arturo Lyons, Cats: The Jellicle Ball

"I love seeing so many shows that are celebrating queer culture and the community. That's really beautiful. For us to be a part of that... and I mean, we are like the biggest show that's talking about the community itself, but there's so many other shows that have that storyline or have people in it. We are showing the world how, again, how human we are, across the board all around Broadway." Omari and Arturo chat more about their work on Cats: The Jellicle Ball.

"What a privilege to like share this wonderful show that  we like really went in and gave our all to.  And  now we have this visibility, especially for the two of us,  who've been sort of grinding for a long time. And now like we're next to these giants of creators." Lauren and Christopher chat more about their work on The Lost Boys.

Ellenore Scott, Ragtime

"This is an unbelievable moment in my career. I am so proud of the work of Ragtime and  the moment that I found out was pregnant and then I was doing the show, it was coming to Broadway, having my son after opening night, then finding out that I was a Tony nominee for that production. It's like a fairy tale.Working on Broadway is truly a gift to be able to create for audiences and to be able to share, and especially for Ragtime, it is a mirror to America and to have folks sit down and enjoy the show and feel all the emotions that it's telling you... to laugh, to cry, to be introspective and to share in community.  It's a dream come true." Ellenore chats more about her work on Ragtime.

Ani Taj, Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show

"There's something about this specific group of people and Sam [Pinkleton]'s vision for this show that gives a lot of room to discover what we can find that's new it it for us and also hold really close to our hearts what people love about it... because we love it too."
