“What I love about Encores! is that it's a tremendous amount of work in...” — Miriam Shor Quote

“What I love about Encores! is that it's a tremendous amount of work in a short amount of time, but it's just so festive and so celebratory and fun. It harkens back to the old days of just getting together and putting on a show.”

“Certainly my parents were very political, so the whole Berlin Wall thing - and being a kid of the '80s - that's just something that's in your experience.”

“I remember auditioning for something where the woman was supposed to be 42, and I was 33 or something, and they were like, 'No women over 35 can audition.' That was in the breakdown. I don't think they would do that anymore - I would like to hope that they wouldn't put that in writing - but it's mind-boggling.”

“I don't like doing 25 songs. I think that just kills the audience. I think the show should be 17, 18, 19 songs and encores.”

“The encore should wrap up the audience's experience of the piece you just played.”

“Five or six songs leaked from the original version of 'Encore.' So I had to go in and make new songs to replace them.”
