Bobby McFerrin
I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.

There was a three hour differential in performances because the sponsor insisted it be done live for California. You would go on at 8 pm in New York but you would also have to go on at 8 p.m. in California. That meant coming back in to do the show at 11 p.m.
