Henry Garza

I like bringing comedy to musicals. That's what's so much fun about this show, because the writers are so based in comedy.

The families will all get free admission to the fair and show. And we've asked Miss Vincent to sing them the national anthem.

Bill Carpenter

The toughest question has always been, 'How do you get your ideas?' How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!

Lynn Johnston

The songs just sing themselves to me. They kind of write themselves. I just stand back and listen.

Laura Cantrell

I always loved to sing so I was going to be the singer. We were looking for a drummer and having problems finding one, so one time, I was messing around on the drums and they just taught me a simple drum beat.

Alan Lomax

I work on my voice through what I have to sing.

Bryn Terfel

Do it right or don't do it at all. That comes from my mom. If there's something I want to do, I'm one of those people that won't be satisfied until I get it done. If I'm trying to sing something and I can't get it, I'm going to keep at it until I get where I want it.
