Dorothy Stanley, in DC to play Fraulein Schneider in Cabaret, talks about touring with the Cabaret company starring Joel Gray (she played Fraulein Kost), what it is like to be an understudy and standby on Broadway, why actors love Sondheim musicals, an unforgettable call from Hal Prince, and remembrances from Follies, Sweeney Todd, Showboat, Annie, 42nd Street, La Cage aux Folles and Kiss of the Spider Woman.
And why an actor will wish another success by saying ‘Break a leg.’
