You’re probably used to hearing the phrase “triple threat” when talking about Actor/Singer/Dancers.

You’ve probably never heard of the phrase used to describe Actor/Writer/Directors.  You know why?  Because there are so few of them.

I captured one of the few A/W/Ds in the world and smuggled him into my office, strapped him to a chair, and made him share all of his wisdom . . . all for you!

You guessed it . . . that other kind of triple threat is none other than the Actor who starred in the original production of Merrily We Roll Along, the writer of A Class Act, the Director of Lady Day, and so much more . . . Mr. Lonny Price.

Listen to Lonny talk about his triple threatness, as well as . . .

• What it was like working with his heroes Hal Prince and Stephen Sondheim on Merrily We Roll Along, and why he’ll never direct it himself.
• What he thinks is the most important skill to have as a director.
• Gossip alert!  Is his production of Sunset Boulevard with Glenn Close on its way to Broadway?  Or not???
• Why he’s not intimidated by big stars.  (And he has worked with the biggest.)
• Why he believes every stage production should be filmed and preserved.

Lonny is one of those people that was destined for a success in our biz.  The theater and how it works is just part of his DNA, which is why he has been able to be such a success in so many different areas.  Thankfully he was generous enough to talk to me (with or without being strapped into a chair) so we can all soak up his secrets.
