BWW Interview: Where the Next Generation of Musicals Is Born
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Nov 9, 2016


'New theatre work is important because it is more likely to reflect what is actually going on in the world; it can speak to global happenings and events and find ways to digest them and cope with them.'
