You get to see it all in show choir ? Broadway, pop, cowboy tap dancing and comedy. (Quote by - Adam Miller)

That's certainly what I grew up with-ballet and musical comedy. My mother taught ballroom dancing and, I think, would have liked to have been a dancer herself.

When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody's face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home. (Quote by - Robert de Niro)
