He put it all out there. Thank you Mr. Kudisch for sparing me the excrutiating false modesty. Be yourself and pay no mind to the begrudgers!

I understand that it takes quite a bit of energy to deliver the role -- and he most certainly delivered -- but, he does radiate "know it all" in real life. At least from the 10 minutes I saw him interact with us "normal" folk. Christiane, Emily and the other actors were all simply a joy. I left the theatre, however, thinking that Marc was perfectly cast to play the devil, and that it wasn't much of a stretch.

I have interviewed many actors, and I'll tell you, I have never seen someone so passionate about a show, his fellow actors, the creative team and technical team like I did when I met with Marc. Remember, these NYC actors are on the road, away from their families and friends and homes because they believe that this show is worth the sacrifice. And also remember, they took time out of their busy schedules to sit down with Lorraine and me. Arrogant actors don't do that.

Let's let her "judge" Marc's arrogance in his approach to his role as the devil. Learned during Joel's podcast that Marc is a motorcycle enthusiast. Hope he's careful and wears his helmet.

In fact, this one is SO good that I'm going to go off the usual kudos and detour onto some personal commentary about what I learned about Marc Kudisch. Marc -- "When does the piano learn that it did NOT write the concerto?" His arrogance about his importance is rather off putting...but then again, he's playing the Devil, so I guess it's why he's so good at it. Doesn't make me want to see the show (I'm one of those rugged individualists who HATE this movie and novel, and the selections only confirm that for me...that's me...plenty of people love this stuff), but it is an amazing interview. Keep em comin, bubby! You're an unappreciated DC treasure.

Marc added much insight into this great show. I enjoyed hearing how the changes from the London production came about and about the nice rapport between the principals. Marc is spot on that Broadway needs an adult musical and I hope this is the one! Another excellent podcast Joel. Marc added much insight into this great show.
