JOEL GREY:
Don't let anybody tell you this isn't a terrific thrill. There are so many people always, and in this case it's very much the same. Firstly, I'd to thank Hal Prince who started it all. Next, Martin Baum, Manny Wolf and Cy Feuer. Bob Fosse, whose gift is enormous and helped me so much. The other players, among them Liza, Michael, Marisa. And especially Fred Ebb and John Kander, who wrote me the best songs in the world. I thank you, and I thank my wife. You're all loved. Thank you.
