what an awesome article! thank you for sharing :)

"It was one of the most spectacular auditions ever in the history of Broadway theater," recalls John Wallowitch, who played piano accompaniment at the audition and went on to become a prolific songwriter and distinguished cabaret star. "It was hysterical. It was a beautiful, wonderful theatrical audition by a theatrical animal. . . . Even Sondheim cracked a smile."

Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward. Carol Channing
