“In my opinion, we need to raise an army of supertalented uberfreaks if we’re ever going to really change the world – since it’s only freaks who ever have,” wrote Kelly Cutrone in her book Normal Gets You Nowhere.

The filmed version of the New York Philharmonic’s Company proved that every member of the star-studded cast actually deserved their spots on the cast list.
