The year was 1980, and Patti LuPone was starring as 'Evita' on Broadway. She was en route to winning the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, and cementing her status as a Broadway star.

'Miami's gain is a tough loss for New Jersey,' said Governor Jon S. Corzine of New Jersey. 'John Richard is a man of extraordinary integrity, with a remarkable insight into the human condition and a deep and abiding commitment to making a difference in this world. His skillful engineering of the original capital campaign to build NJPAC, his responsible oversight of twelve years of operations, and his core belief that the arts center and its communities are intrinsically linked have made New Jersey a better place to live. Miami is extremely lucky to get him.'
