Big Quote by Chita Rivera
“When you're in a big theater, you want to reach the very top of the place. Up to the highest seat, so that each person feels like you're talking to them. There's really no difference when you're in a smaller place; you just don't overdo it. It becomes far more personal.”

![“As soon as I leave the world [of the show], I want to turn around and come back. That's how real it is. As soon as I leave the theater I want to wake up and come back the next day and do it all over again. It's that much fun.” quote by Victoria Clark](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8cd/victoria-clark-42836_fun_as-soon-as-i-leave-the-world-of-the-show_3099873.jpg)
