Frances and Violet are wonderful, lively characters ? I love them all. These survivors are incredible, irrevocably amazing people.

I'm telling people this is not a Broadway musical. I think it's blasphemous. It's almost sacrilegious.

It's a commemoration ... and there's a lot to commemorate. We built a city that can stand up to any city in the world. There's nowhere like San Francisco. You can be anyone in the world and feel like you fit in here.
