An oral history interview with Ben Cutler / conducted for the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music by Dennis Jones, 1988 December 16 : recording and transcript.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122688291

Cutler discussses the two Kurt Weill shows he participated in: The eternal road and One touch of Venus. He recalls the preparations for the Eternal road with regard to scenery, rehearsal, and music, and explains the roles of Weill, Max Reinhardt, Isaac van Grove, and Lotte Lenya in the production. He has a different perspective on One touch of Venus, which he entered in mid-run, and he recalls his difficulties fitting into the cast, along with his work with Elia Kazan and Mary Martin.
