Kimmel had this to say about Paige O'Hara
"I adore her. Paige...she’s very talented and we did have a nice time in the studio and I like her album."
Jerry
Herman had this to say about the album:
This album should really be called "A Study In Contrasts!" When I first met Paige O'Hara, we were rehearsing a symphonic concert of my work and I was immediately impressed with Paige's ability to become whatever the music and lyric demanded. She is all at once vulnerable and warm ("I Belong Here"), sassy and strong ("Wherever He Ain't"), mature and sensitive ("If He Walked Into My Life") and then she can pull all the stops out ("Before The Parade Passes By")! I am honored that she chose to record an album of my music and lyrics. Thank you Paige, for bringing so many beautiful colors to my work
Paige O’Hara did Dancing on her Jerry Herman album and it wasn’t included. Paige and her musical director wanted to do a real “dance” techno-pop version of it. That sounded like a horrendous idea to me, but I told them to go ahead with it with the proviso that they really do it and not play at it. When we got to the studio to record and I heard what they’d done with Dancing I simply pulled the plug and said no
