I've always wanted to do theater in Chicago. Chicago is a big theater town-and, in some ways, I think this city is savvier and smarter than New York. Sometimes, I think it's a little too chic to go to theater in New York these days.

I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.

Aside from a few master teachers that we have had over the years, this has been a completely local talent development. But people have started to come now from Chicago, we have a number of students from Chicago and different places of the country and even in the world.

I am back in Los Angeles after a very successful run in Chicago as Billy Flynn.

I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.

That's great advertising when you can turn Chicago into a city you'd want to spend more than three hours in.

And we had a DJ - my childhood friend from Chicago came to be the DJ at our party out in LA. It was a party, rockin' and rolling, and it was dancing and fun. For me it was different; just to have family with us.
