The Year in Interviews

This year we interviewed just under 300 people. From die hard New Yorkers to those just passing through our fair city, here are some our faves. And if you really wanna get reflective, here's our best of interview post from 2007.

Stew, the single-named co-creator of the phenomenal rock musical Passing Strange, told us the show's producers were crazy.

So why do it on Broadway - were you surprised the producers wanted to present this to a Broadway audience? Surprised is putting it mildly. I was shocked and I'm still shocked every day I wake up and realize I'm actually going to work on Broadway. I still can't believe it. Everyone keeps saying, 'Oh, isn't it interesting these conservative Broadway producers brought Passing Strange to Broadway.' And I'm like, 'Well, if they were conservative they're sure not conservative now.' This show's crazy. I wouldn't have brought this shit to Broadway. I wouldn't have rolled those dice. This shit costs money! You know what I mean? People are putting serious money into this thing. I don't know; if that's conservative that's the kind I like. (Carol Rosegg)
