Name 10 of your favorite Broadway shows
(no order I assume)
1. Sweeney Todd
2. Caroline, or Change,
3. Cabaret
4. Sunday in the Park with George
5. Rent
6. Company
7. The Light in the Piazza
8. Wicked
9. The Wild Party
10. A Chorus Line

Have you ever seen these shows live? If so, where?
Yes, half on Broadway, some on dvd, the rest based on cast recordings

What's your favorite song from play 2?
Salty Teardrops. My most listened to song on the ipod

Who's your favorite character from play 4?
So difficult because the ensemble together adds so much power to the whole, thus why the point of his painting is on the whole. By stepping back and taking everything in after putting it together is what is Georges intentions are. However, I am partial to Yvonne, Dot, Marie, and act 1 George.

What's your favorite scene from play 5?
Adore 'Christmas Bells'. One of the most exciting moments for me in any show I've seen

What's your favorite lyric from play 8?
Oh God from every show on that list, I have to pick a lyric from this? I like "Thank goodness for today", it works fairly well when the day is quite wonderful and full of goodness.

From play 10, which character are you most like?
I guess I'd say Mark for his younger age and innocence. However, I doubt I'm that innocent, I don't do things because I know better and not because I'm a naive moron.

Can you quote every line from play 1?
Yes, for the most part. I am most partial however to quoting the Judge's long winded sentence declaring how it was remiss of him to close the court so early due to the stink of those miserable wretches at the bar were so offensive to his nostrils that he feared his eagerness for fresher air might well impair the soundness of his judgement...ya know?

How many times have you seen play 3?
Never saw it, love the movie and know the cast recording by heart.

If you could be anyone from play 6, who would it be? Why?
I see a TON of Bobby-ness in me as it is, I may as well be him because I'd prefer to be who I am as opposed to the rest.

What's your favorite song from play 7?
I love "The Joy You Feel" and the Overture

What's your favorite quote from play 9?
"This is what it is to know the day and meet the Sun and find that I am not the only one, I am not the only one whose afraid of a world too big and bright."


Out of all these plays, which one is your absolute favorite?
Sweeney Todd

Who's the best Broadway actor?
Mandy Patinkin, Brian Stokes Mitchell

Who's the best Broadway actress?
Chita Rivera, Bernadette Peters, Cherry Jones

What's the best musical they turned into a movie?
Definitely West Side or I say that the direction of Cabaret was interesting too.

Is there a musical you DON'T like?
The Music Man

If so, which one? Why?
Absolutely dreadful and the music is just like nails on a chalkboard to me. If I were alive in 1957 and saw this beat West Side Story, I would have hated the Tonys then too.

Do you think the movie versions are better, or the original Broadway plays?
Usually the creative geniuses of the Broadway have more vision and hopefully can do more justice to the work than the camera can

This or That:

The Producers or RENT - Rent

Wicked or Chicago - Chicago

Fiddler on the Roof or Oklahoma - Fiddler on the Roof

Thoroughly Modern Millie or 42nd Street - Thoroughly Modern Millie

I'm bored, sooooo....

Name 10 of your favorite Broadway shows (Are we doing musicals only? It sort of looks that way.)

1. AIDA
2. RENT
3. Cabaret
4. Oklahoma! (Shut up.)
5. tick, Tick... BOOM!
6. Taboo
7. The Sound of Music
8. Sweeney Todd
9. The Light in the Piazza
10. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (You can laugh, it's okay.)

Have you ever seen these shows live? If so, where? I've seen all of them but TTB live -- all on Broadway.

What's your favorite song from play 2?
It changes every now and then, but it's been Another Day for a while now.

Who's your favorite character from play 4?
Curly.

What's your favorite scene from play 5?
The opening/30/90

What's your favorite lyric from play 8?
Oh, God. Of course number 8 is Sweeney with all of its uber-complex, genius lyrics. Um... in Epiphany: "But the work waits/I'm alive at last/And I'm full of joy." It's one of my favorite moments in the show.

From play 10, which character are you most like?
Haaa. None? Caractacus, perhaps; I'm weird, and certainly nothing like Truly.

Can you quote every line from play 1?
I used to know the entire show, short of a few lines, by heart. I surely don't remember all of it now, but I'd venture to guess I've retained a good amount.

How many times have you seen play 3?
Three.

If you could be anyone from play 6, who would it be? Why?
Gender boundaries aside, Philip, Marilyn, or George. The guy parts in Taboo are so much better than the girl parts.

What's your favorite song from play 7?
Hmm. The Sound of Music. Classic.

What's your favorite quote from play 9?
"This is wanting something, this is reaching for it/This is wishing that a moment would arrive/This is taking chances, this is almost touching, what the beauty is."

Out of all these plays, which one is your absolute favorite?
AIDA.

Who's the best Broadway actor?
Raúl Esparza. Meh, I hate absolutes. But he's one of them, no doubt.

Who's the best Broadway actress?
Meeeh, I can't pick.

What's the best musical they turned into a movie?
The question is poorly written; it sounds like you're asking which of the musicals in the category is best, regardless of how its movie turned out, but I'm assuming you're asking which movie musical is best. I guess Chicago.

Is there a musical you DON'T like?
Er, yes.

If so, which one? Why?
Brooklyn, for starters. It was a trainwreck. Not boring, but a complete and total mess, across the boards.

Do you think the movie versions are better, or the original Broadway plays?
No.

This or That:

The Producers or RENT - Rent

Wicked or Chicago - Wicked, actually. Chicago never did it for me.

Fiddler on the Roof or Oklahoma - Oklahoma!

Thoroughly Modern Millie or 42nd Street - Millie

Hairspray or Grease - Grease

Who's your favorite character from play 4?
Emmie - how powerful! But I’m biased, because one of my favorite actresses, Trisha Jeffrey, played that role and was fierce!

What's your favorite scene from play 5?
The whole Ruprecht scene... done by Norb, Jonathan Pryce, and Sarah.

What's your favorite lyric from play 8?
