There are some interesting memories and reflections from Aaron Tveit in this interview with Buzzfeed: http://www.buzzfeed.com/ariellecalderon/aaron-tveit-career-milestones
Next to Normal
AT: Family. The show is about this broken, fractured, and then coming-together family. It created this family within us, within the cast, within the writers, within the producers and the director — everyone involved. From the get, we knew it was something so special. We were off-Broadway, and there were some issues with the show, but everyone stuck with it. Then we went out of town, and I’ll never forget, that it was what it became, and it was finally the show that we knew it could be. It just created this bond of a real family with everyone that was involved. It was amazing.
Catch Me If You Can
AT: Oh, man. I don’t know if there’s a word that can describe that. No words, there you go, that’s two. In a similar but different way from Next to Normal, the root that show took, and how long I was involved from the first time I sang for it, and everything we all went through at the time, and it didn’t come through right away. The fact that it was a bit short-lived, it only ran for six months, but I felt it could have ran for years; it was just a full gamut of emotions wrapped in this dream Broadway role. There aren’t roles like that for young men in Broadway. The fact that I got to play it, I’m still so grateful for it. I love it, I love all the people involved, and I cherish my time and experience with it.
