My feeling about young people who want to pursue a career is - the first thing is do your homework on where it all started. go back and look at history. look at why the shows you are loving today happened and the artists you are listening to happened. and do your homework on history. whether it's musical movies, musical plays, broadway musical recordings - do your homework! and then, that way you will have an understanding of why, now, certain movies, certain plays, certain musicals are making some sort of sense.
