This guy sounds really important. I don't know much about the structure of Broadway, but having come to see him, I did learn a lot more about the social hierarchy involved with it. The fact that this guy has been able to work in every single Broadway Theater and worked on so many Broadway shows, is incredible not only considering the amount of work that is, but considering how selective and hierarchical Broadway truly is. It sounds like his talent is incredible and very unique. I often think about how architectural stability and design leaks into theater, and the interdisciplinary aspect of theater. I feel like you could find many different people willing to create who have different skill sets that wouldn't typically apply in a theatrical space, but they are able to adapt and use their skills to impact the theater world. Congratulations to this guy, and I hope he continues to do what he loves and have fun working in theater!
