In Character, A Journal of Everyday Virtues by the John Templeton Foundation: "When Julie Andrews was on Broadway a little more than a decade ago in the stage version of Victor/Victoria, she invited me backstage to follow along behind her through a performance. I was the New York Times’s theater reporter at the time, and so the prospect of getting a star’s-eye view of the life of a musical was not only personally thrilling, it was also a chance to see a show from a vantage point I’d never be able to replicate."
