ADD QUOTES-
Len Cariou: (describing his childhood exposure to music) My mother - the Irish side of the family - was very musical. My mother was a singer; there was music around the house all the time. I was a boy soprano. I had a natural kind of voice and then trained it after my voice changed. My mother was pretty instrumental in that. And I took piano. So there was music around me all the time.

Len Cariou: (describing his performance as Ben in Stephen Sondheim's "Follies") All you have to do is look at the lyrics. This is the most gorgeous score the man ever wrote. It borders on genius, like everything else he's done.

Len Cariou: I like to keep busy. There here are a few people, not many, who do all this [type of work]. So it's a rare breed, if you will.
-
Len Cariou: (on working with Angela Lansbury in "Sweeney Todd") We kept one another on our collective toes. We kind of made a pact. I think the thing that both Angela and I were most proud of was that we managed to never let this thing get away from us - a very fine line, because you could easily go into farce there. So we prided ourselves on being there and really listening and working, really paying attention.
