Richard Kind

Are you having fun?

Does this sound good?

He wrote for the actor and yet was so specific.

If I put a the instead of an an in the lyric, he would correct me.

Hanging on my wall in my house, one of my most treasured things is just typed out lyrics, you know, maybe three, four lines in the song.

And he would then cross it out and put it in pencil because he famously wrote in pencil the changes.

And he was diligent on every comma, every word.

He really worked hard.

I will say this.

This is sort of funny.

The first time I met him, I went up to him.

It was at Hal's Christmas party, Hal Prince's Christmas party.

I went up to him and I said, do you know who I am?

I had a beard.

And I go, do you know who I am?

He said, yes, you're Richard Kind and the beard goes.

That was the first thing he said to him.

Also, one other thing, a short thing is there's a thing called Zitzprobe, which is when the orchestra, you hear the orchestra play what you're going to hear for the rest of the run.

You've been only accompanied by a piano.

Now you've got an orchestra.
