Oh, when the reviews came out there was just this totally bizarre display of histrionic drama, because everyone was nervous.
And absolutely. I loved Sweeney so, so much, but I didn't connect with it right away. It took me a little bit of reflecting to love Company, but I instantly connected with it. I remember the way I just sat there after Being Alive, shaking. I never expected to be so moved or to be so in love with it, but here I am over a year later. It sounds very silly, but I have really never been so in love with anything in my life. It's very hard to explain those kinds of visceral, deep connections, but on a more explicable level, I obviously think it's a brilliant work of art -- one of the best things I have ever seen. It's been my greatest pleasure to support this show, and today's a really tough goodbye for me. But I do believe it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
A work of art is an invitation to love.
