Quotes Well, the biggest thing was taking this world where we were surrounded by the audience and making sure that the audience recognizes that we are very much in the room with you. There’s a lot of moments where we take longer beats and breaths to literally look at the audience and make eye contact with people. So if you’re sitting in the orchestra and you feel somebody staring into your eyes, we are definitely going to connect. It’s about listening. Not a word has changed, the music isn’t any different, but what does that illuminate when we hear it differently now? There are moments of complete darkness on stage and it makes a revelation about how intentionally are we actually listening to each other from day to day. For this show, some will find it upsetting that we changed things or that this isn’t the spirit of it. I, on the other hand, feel like we’ve been taking things for granted. Yeah, we didn’t notice it before but now we get a chance to appreciate it on a whole other level. It’s different everywhere, and we have varied audiences on Broadway as well. I would rather have mixed and honest, like visceral, reactions. We should be engaging in theater that way. I think you come to experience theater, to feel something, to learn something. It’s representative of the community itself. It’s a conversation between us and each locality. Eating food everywhere. Every place has their local thing and I got to get some Detroit pizza. Just finding places that people are proud of in their city. I love visiting museums. I visited the Charles Wright museum yesterday and was deeply impacted by the work that people do in black history and culture in this city. Oh man, it’s Motor City and there’s an energy here. We’ve had a couple days off so I’ve been able to venture out and get to know the city and it’s just beautiful. The architecture is beautiful, I’ve had great food and connected with a people over dinner. It’s just nice to really connect to the city a little deeper. The weather’s been pretty nice. I’ve gotten everything from today’s sunny day to snowy. Detroit in all her colors, I love it.
