My favorite was always whichever sport was in season. I think these days it’s almost saddening to see kids who are 10 or 11 and are forced to choose one sport and specialize in that sport and play that sport year-round. By playing different sports… you become a better all-around athlete.

There was so much on ‘Superstar’ that we didn’t intend. I mean, there were things that we did which were innovative, but some of them were forced on us because we couldn’t get anybody to do the show. ‘Evita’ was much more sophisticated.

In high school, my first thing ever was I played Tony in ‘West Side Story’ when I was about 17. I was a really shy kid, and I just, like, forced myself to learn how to sing this one month because I loved ‘West Side Story’ so much, and I somehow managed to get the role.
