What is your favorite line that you delivered? It’s always changing. My favorite line currently is “that thing we did.” I’m in a state of mind of getting ready to say goodbye to the show and [it] feels particularly resonant to me right now. When these moments come, it’s like, how do you sum up the feeling of everything that’s happened to you? All we can say is that we did it.

Because that’s what this episode of Smash — and I would argue, this entire season of Smash — have really been about. I know I’ve said this before, but this is the episode where it really came together for me. They’re talking to us, on this show. There’s an awareness of a thing, and then an attempt (and I would argue a valiant one) to make that awareness the thing, and it circles around and around like when you read a Truman Capote story and try to figure out who all the characters are based on (PS: It’s not that hard) and also makes you wonder what would happen if Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman did a musical adaptation of an M.C. Escher drawing (although let’s be serious, Frank Wildhorn probably will). Complain all you want about narrative problems or lack of plausibility or why they have engaged in so much brave but fundamentally illogical species-blind casting, but Smash may be the only scripted television show in history that is also a reality show. And it’s kind of fascinating.

Three Days of Rain is one of the rare plays that interests me more as an actor than a director.

I saw this production. The design elements were stunning in person. As was the acting. LOVE that play.

I don't think this song has ever, or will ever again be, sung this well.

Theatre has no memory, which makes it the most existential of the arts. No doubt that is why I keep coming back, in the hope that someone in a dark room somewhere will show me an image that burns itself into my mind, leaving a mark more permanent than the moment itself.
