मैं जानता था कि मुझे लड़कियों से मिलना है, इसलिए मैंने एक छात्र संगठन जॉइन कर लिया और योग करने लगा।
I knew that I wanted to meet girls, so I joined a fraternity, and I did yoga.

मैं एक विजुअल आर्टिस्ट बनता। जब मैं हाई स्कूल में था, तो यह उन चीज़ों में से एक थी... मुझे तय करना था कि कॉलेज में मुझे किस विषय की पढ़ाई करनी है, और उस समय मैं पेंटिंग और मूर्तियां भी बनाता था। मुझे अपनी परफॉर्मेंस के लिए ज़्यादा सराहना मिली, इसलिए मुझे लगा कि वही बेहतर रहेगा।
I would have been a visual artist. When I was in high school, that was one of the things... I had to make a decision what I was going to go to college for, and at the time, I also painted and sculpted. I got more attention for my performing, so I thought that was a better idea.

मुझे 'इन द हाइट्स' (In the Heights) का ओरिजिनल कास्ट देखने का सौभाग्य मिला। इस शो ने मेरा दिमाग हिला दिया। ऐसे समय में जब ज़्यादा चीज़ें मुझे प्रभावित नहीं कर पा रही थीं, लैटिन, हिप-हॉप और रैप संगीत का बेहतरीन कहानी कहने के अंदाज़ और हुनर के साथ ऐसा मेल मेरे लिए एक बहुत ही असरदार मिश्रण साबित हुआ!
I was lucky enough to see the original cast of 'In the Heights.' This one blew my mind. The infusion of Latin, hip hop and rap with musical theatre, great storytelling and talent was a powerful combination to me during a time when I'd not been moved by much!

बुधवार की रात को द टाउन हॉल पब में ज़्यादातर पक्के लोग ही आते थे, इसलिए हम कुछ भी बजा सकते थे। सबसे बुरा यह होता कि वही सात लोग जो हमेशा बार में बैठकर पीते रहते हैं, वे होते और वे हमारा साथ देते। लेकिन हमने बस अपने दोस्तों और परिवार वालों को बताया, और वे हमारा समर्थन करने आ गए। फिर उन्होंने अपने दोस्तों को बताया, जिन्होंने अपने दोस्तों को बताया, और इस तरह बात फैल गई। यह पूरी तरह से एक बड़ा इवेंट बन गया।
The Town Hall Pub on a Wednesday night was just regulars anyway, so we could play whatever. Worst case scenario, it would be the same seven people who were always at the bar getting drunk, and they would be there for us. But we just told our friends and family, and they came out to support us. Then they told their friends, who told their friends, who told their friends. It was a full-on event.

मुझे लगता है कि युदास (Judas) बहुत ही पक्के धार्मिक यहूदी व्यक्ति थे। उन्हें एहसास होता है कि यहूदियों को हज़ारों सालों से सताया गया है और गुलाम बनाया गया है, और वे नहीं चाहते कि उनके लोगों को कभी फिर से उस दौर से गुजरना पड़े।
I think Judas was a very devout religious Jewish person. He realizes that Jews had been persecuted and enslaved for thousands of years, and he wants to keep his people from going through that anymore.

मुझे नए काम से सचमुच बहुत प्यार है, और यही वजह है कि मैंने नए म्यूजिकल और ऐसी ही चीज़ों को बढ़ावा देने वाले एक कॉन्सर्ट सीरीज़ का निर्माण किया। मैं ऐसी और चीज़ें करने की उम्मीद करता हूँ।
I really, really love new work, and that's why, you know, I produced a concert series supporting new musicals and stuff like that. I hope to do more things like that.

मैं अपने काम से कभी खुश नहीं होता, इसलिए मैं ऐसी चीज़ें देखने से बचता हूँ जिनमें मेरी शूटिंग हुई हो, क्योंकि मुझे हमेशा लगता है, "ओह, मैं इसे थोड़ा और बेहतर कर सकता था," या "मैं इसे अलग तरीके से कर सकता था - वह रिफ थोड़ा और अच्छा हो सकता था।"
I am never happy with what I do, so I try not to watch stuff that is filmed with me in it because I am always like, "Oh, I could have done that a little bit better," or, "I could have done that differently - that riff could have been a little better."

'लेस मिजरेबल्स' (Les Miserables) के एक शो के दौरान, बैरिकेड स्टेज से हटा ही नहीं, इसलिए हमें आखिरकार स्टेज पर ही बैरिकेड्स के साथ दूसरे ऐक्ट को खत्म करना पड़ा, जो कि बहुत अजीब था... बैरिकेड पर ही प्रेम दृश्य करना।
During one performance of 'Les Miserables,' the barricade didn't leave the stage, so we had to actually end up finishing the second act with the barricades on the stage, which was very strange... doing the love scene on the barricade.

'अमेज़िंग ग्रेस' (Amazing Grace) उस इंसान के बारे में है जिसने "अमेज़िंग ग्रेस" गाना लिखा था, यानी जॉन न्यूटन। यह वाकई एक बहुत बढ़िया शो है - सच कहूँ तो, मैं कुछ समय से इस पर काम कर रहा हूँ।
AMAZING GRACE is about the man who wrote "Amazing Grace," John Newton. It's a really great show - I have been workshopping it for a while now, actually.

बचपन में मेरे पसंदीदा हमेशा बिली जोएल, माइकल जैक्सन... और प्लासिडो डोमिंगो रहे हैं।
My favorites growing up were always Billy Joel, Michael Jackson... and Placido Domingo.

मैं अक्सर लाइनें भूल जाता हूँ। कभी-कभी मैं गाने के अंतरे (verses) आगे-पीछे कर देता हूँ। जब आप लगातार वही चीज़ बार-बार कर रहे हों, तो ऐसा न होना मुश्किल है।
I've forgotten lines all the time. Sometimes I switch verses in a song. It's just hard not to when you're doing the same thing all the time.

मेरा पालन-पोषण यहूदी परिवार में हुआ था। मैं ईसाई धर्म के बारे में कुछ नहीं जानता था।
I was raised Jewish. I didn't know anything about Christianity.

मैंने 100 पाउंड वजन घटाया और थिएटर तथा संगीत को गले लगाया कि यही वह चीज़ है जिसे मैं अपनी बाकी की जिंदगी बनाऊंगा।
I lost 100 pounds and embraced theater and music as what I was going to make for the rest of my life.

'टॉमी' (Tommy) ब्रॉडवे पर देखा मेरा पहला शो था। तब मैं 14 साल का था। यह वह 'शो' नहीं था जिसने मेरे अंदर उस आग को प्रज्वलित किया हो, लेकिन इसने मुझे उस तरह से उत्साहित किया जैसे किसी अन्य शो ने नहीं किया था। मैंने कभी इतने शानदार तरीके से चुने गए कलाकारों और निर्देशन वाला शो नहीं देखा था।
'Tommy' was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. I was 14. It wasn't 'the show' that started that flame in me or anything, but it did excite me in a way no other show had. I'd never seen a show so brilliantly cast and directed.

मुझे गाने के लिए जो भी दिया जाएगा, मैं गाऊंगा। बचपन में, मुझे जो भी गाने को मिलता था, मैं गा लेता था। अगर क्वायर (समूह गान) को पहले टेनर की जरूरत होती, तो मैं पहला टेनर गाता। अगर उन्हें बास की जरूरत होती, तो मैं बास गाता। पूरी जिंदगी, मैंने उन नोटों को हिट करने के रास्ते ढूंढ ही लिए जिनकी मुझे जरूरत थी।
I will sing whatever I'm given to sing. Growing up, I would sing anything that I was given. If the choir needed a first tenor, I would sing first tenor. If they needed a bass, I would sing bass. Throughout my life, I just figured out ways to hit notes I needed to hit.

मैं पूरी तरह से अस्वस्थ और मोटा था, इसलिए मैंने छह महीने तक हर रोज सुबह तीन मील दौड़ने और एक सख्त डाइट का पालन करने की कसम खाई, और मेरा 100 पाउंड वजन कम हो गया।
I was completely unhealthy, obese, so I committed to running three miles every morning for six months and following a strict diet, and 100 pounds came off.

मेरे पास आधे घंटे का वार्म-अप रूटीन है जो मुझे मेरे वॉयस टीचर ने दिया था। मैं दिन में कम से कम एक घंटे एक्सरसाइज करता हूँ। मेरे पास कोई अंधविश्वास वाले अनुष्ठान या ऐसी कोई चीज़ नहीं है।
I have a half an hour warm-up I do that my voice teacher gave me. I exercise at least for an hour during the day. I don't have any superstitious rituals or anything like that.

एक कलाकार के रूप में, मुझे लगता है कि आपको एक आम इंसान की तुलना में अपने शरीर का और भी ज्यादा ख्याल रखना पड़ता है, क्योंकि आपका शरीर आपकी कला के लिए बेहद जरूरी है।
As an artist, I think you always have to take care of yourself as a person probably even more than the average person because your body is so important to your art.

मैं 'कंपनी' (COMPANY) में बॉबी का किरदार निभाना पसंद करूंगा। इसके अलावा, मैं 'संडे' (SUNDAY) में जॉर्ज की भूमिका निभाना चाहूंगा।
I would love to play Bobby in COMPANY. Also, I would love to play George in SUNDAY.

आम तौर पर अगर मैं सिर्फ कुछ सुनना चाहता हूँ या किसी गाने के साथ गाना चाहता हूँ तो मैं गेविन डीग्रॉ (Gavin DeGraw) या बिली जोएल चला लेता हूँ। कभी-कभार, अगर मुझे लगता है कि मेरी आवाज बहुत अच्छी स्थिति में है, तो मैं 'लेस मिज' (LES MIZ) से जीन वालजीन का सोलीलॉकी (आत्मसंभाषण) या ऐसा ही कुछ गाता हूँ।
Usually if I want to just listen to something or sing along to something I'll put on some Gavin DeGraw or some Billy Joel. Occasionally, if I am feeling vocally in really great shape I will sing Jean Valjean's Soliloquy from LES MIZ or something.
