“I would like there to be gender equity. I would like the Broadway seas...” — Lynn Nottage Quote

“I would like there to be gender equity. I would like the Broadway season to reflect sort of the demographic of the country.”

“The theatre should reflect America as it's lived in today. And that is a multicultural America.”

“I've done three Broadway shows; once the curtain goes up, that's it. I mean, you prepare and you rehearse like crazy, but after opening night, the director's not there anymore, you know. He gives you notes during previews after each performance, but opening night, you're on your own.”

“I never wanted to be a wrestler, I wanted to get into musical theater. I always wanted to be on Broadway.”
