Yes, I did some rewrites of the show as some of the stuff was not very good and I worked my butt off to make it something that the audience liked and that I could be proud of.
Audiences don't ever disappoint me, in the sense that movies I feel really good about, they usually feel really good about too.
It's rare that you cut out something that is really good. You screen all of it, and when the audience doesn't respond, you cut out whatever is holding the story down.
It's one of the things that looks good written down, but the reality is that you think about the pieces you're doing and try to bear in mind everyone in the audience.
I always think if it's a good story, the audience can't wait to run out of the theater and go tweet somebody with the gist of a story, in a nutshell, almost, because it was that interesting.
'Visiting Mr. Green' is a good play. I enjoy being in it, and I have a wonderful colleague, Aidan deSalaiz, to work with. Audiences like it a lot. What's not to like?
Sylvester has a great popular sense, as good as any writer I've ever worked with. He knows what audiences want to see, and what they don't want to see.

By laughing at me, the audience really laughs at themselves, and realizing they have done this gives them sort of a spiritual second wind for going back into the battles of life.
Our shows are packed with laughter and light-hearted songs to lift the listener from their everyday life. We encourage the audience to participate in any way.
The audience, upon learning that the real Buffalo Bill was present, gave several cheers between the acts.
I actually love pressure. I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.
If you make something with love and, you know, passion and you tell a real story, I think it will always find an audience somehow, you know.
When I tour with the new album, I still do the classics, and I love the atmosphere it creates with the whole audience singing along.
As an actor, I've always said, half the audience is going to love you, half is going to hate you so just live with it. It's easier that way.
The one thing about going from the audience to the stage in just three years is that you know how it feels to be down there.
