David Hyde Pierce
From Curtains.
David Hyde Pierce talks about joining in the development of the long-aborning Curtains and how he faced the challenge of a full-fledged character-driven musical on Broadway; recalls the circumstances that led him in very short order from his rejection by the Yale School of Drama to his Broadway debut in Beyond Therapy; considers his “on-the-job training” in theatre with such esteemed directors as Peter Brook and Mike Nichols; shares how working with Uta Hagen really opened up new horizons for him as a stage actor; and recaps the experience of translating the humor of Monty Python into the musical comedy format of Spamalot.
