“After that, I started going downtown and doing a lot of theater shows ...” — Kel Mitchell Quote

After that, I started going downtown and doing a lot of theater shows in Chicago. When you go downtown there, it's like you're in New York, it's like going to Broadway.

We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.

I'm doing music, and we both want to do some drama.

I loved Spider-Man, Spider-Man was the man.

After that I got an agent and went on like a million auditions. You win some, you lose some.

I want to make 'Broadway' a word that doesn't have pejorative connotation. I don't want 'musical theater' to be a dismissive term. I want it to be something that people can be proud of, that people can say, 'Look at the possibilities.'

Sidney Poitier was directing a film called 'Hanky Panky.' And he said, 'Do you want to come with me to New York to see Gilda Radner in 'Lunch Hour' on Broadway? I said, 'I don't need to see her, I love her. I've wanted to write something for her for a long time. So it's OK by me.'

Some of my own books are being developed - one as a Broadway musical.

A professional music career goes in starts and stops. Around 2000 I was doing a Broadway show and that was some real good energy.
