― Lights: Despair, Faith, and Hope on Broadway
― Lights: Despair, Faith, and Hope on Broadway
“So, you’re just spending all this money to put on a free show for people?” he asked. “Well,” I said, “the hope is that the response to the show is enthusiastic enough that some producer would want to take it to Broadway.” “And so then you’d make a lot of money?” “Possibly. But that usually only happens if a show runs for years. Most shows run for, like, three months. And only, maybe, one out of five make back their investment.” “So why do it?” I wanted to say, Because it’s Broadway, and because I’ve always dreamed of performing on Broadway, and I’ve always loved musicals and acting and telling stories that move people. And isn’t that the point of life: to try to do what you love and make the world a better place by achieving one unique dream at a time? But I had a feeling that answer would only result in rehashing the same conversation we’d had about me marrying QB—how emotions shouldn’t be a consideration in decision-making. So, I just said, “Because if you are one of those one out of five, you can really get rich.” That answer satisfied him and ended the conversation.”
