Debra Monk
From Curtains on Broadway.
Actress Debra Monk talks about her six year journey through the development of the musical Curtains, and passionately reflects on the things she learned from the legendary team of Kander and Ebb on both Curtains and Steel Pier; recalls how she came to create both Pump Boys And Dinettes and Oil City Symphony, and why she worried that she’d never be seen as anything but a country singer after the success of the first show; ponders what prompted Lanford Wilson to write a role specifically for her in the drama Redwood Curtain; and discusses her experiences on two Sondheim shows — the first Broadway revival of Company and the original Off-Broadway premiere of Assassins.
Original airdate - August 10, 2007.
Running time - 50:53.
