Large musical productions are truly a daily problem. The danger lies in the fact that one must motivate the actor or the ensemble over and over again and remind them what sort of story one's telling. I'm a perfectionist, that is to say, I treat myself very critically. The real musical fans are truly fantastic. I believe it is in the hundreds, but that's mainly Vienna.
Viennese fans are very special.
We have a musical theatre audience that enjoys travelling. To some extent they hitchhike, work in advance at some fast food chain in order to scrounge up the money for it. I admire that. I can do it. My father was an enthusiastic hunter, and I had to get my hunting license relatively early.
