It's nice that you like my voice, but I'm not playing a man.
I have the legal right to refuse.
As I've said several times, pay me by putting me on the music staff and (ideally) let me orchestrate a few of the songs.
I can still coach your singers to get that louder, realer sound.
Hire me, and hire Lauren too. She was behind a lot of the sound of my first two shows, particularly because she has phenomenal rhythm.
I love the vision, but Merrily isn't a favourite piece of mine. Now, if people want to make a gender-flipped Sunday, then I'd be much more interested.
