Stage Door Chicago: Whistle Down the Wind Cast

Whistle Down the Wind has been described as Andrew Lloyd Webber's best musical since Phantom. Based on the much loved film -- which made stars out of Haley Mills and Alan Bates -- Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman's show is an extraordinary and uplifting tale about the transforming power of love, proving that goodness can be found in the strangest of places.

After a successful two-year run at the Aldwych Theatre in London, theatre producer/director Bill Kenwright launched the UK Tour of Whistle Down the Wind in 2001 after further developing the book and restructuring the show.  Kenwright's version premiered at the Palace Theatre followed by a four-year tour.

In this interview, Eric Kunze and Andrea Ross discuss their roles of "The Man" and "Swallow," how they got to be part of Whistle and their impressions on the genius of  Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. Mr. Kunze and Ms. Ross also discuss their previous roles and other projects including Ms. Ross' CD "Moon River" and Mr. Kunze's Big City Broadway which brings musical theatre to people that do not have the opportunity or access to see big Broadway shows.
