New York Makes You Better

East 42nd Street

"New York is the city that never sleeps. It's the only place to get better at being you, in this place that doesn't rest; you're always working hard to keep up with this city, and it makes you better."
John Clay III, Playbill

Authentic Self

One World Trade Center

"It makes me so proud to live here, and to have made a life here. It is not easy to live in New York, but I have a chance at being my most authentic self here; we all do."
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Playbill

Summer in New York

Long Island City

"Summer in New York is summer in New York. You know what it means when you’ve lived here. There is no way to really describe it."
Ashley Park, Playbill

Naughty Cousin

"I feel a deep affinity for New Yorkers. And that’s probably irrational, but I feel like New York is kind of like that cousin you see three times a year. There are the strange relatives you dread seeing, but there’s that one naughty cousin you can’t wait to see. That’s New York!"
Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Playbill

Better Late...

Cooper Union

"I came to New York late; I was already past 30."
Jeffrey Tambor, Playbill
