Mr E SO wants to be the next Mr F... *cough*
Other way, Chica. Other way.
Who's version of Not While I'm Around have you listened to more? Now, which one is better? (Just following the... trend?) :P
Not in the world according to Chica!
Here, it's Mr E who desperately wants to achieve F's...stature. ahem.
Shut up. :-P
Well, F. might have a Tony before E... *knocks on wood*
I noticed that about Valmont, Chica, and defintiely took note of it because I found it kind of interesting that we had thought of Raul for the same role (this was before I saw that Mano had played it).
The book rewrites for Chess are already in the works, Em, at lesat in my and Lexi's twisted little minds.

I've listened to Raul's more, but that's not exactly fair because I've had it longer. Manoel's "Not While I'm Around" is so, so brilliant in the context of the show, but I also like Raul's version just for the sake of hearing him sing it. I enjoy NPH's a lot, too. So, best: definitely Mano's, but I'm happy to have heard all of them. (I also accdientally skipped NWIA when I was doing the most played songs thing, but it's more played than the other Sweeney songs.)

Top three Chess songs?
Worst three Chess songs?
Favorite musical of all-time (only one!)?
Color you wear most often?
Top three Chess songs?
That's hard! I like so many of them.
1. Endgame
2. Anthem
3. Quartet (A Model of Decorum and Tranquility)
I think my overall favorite moment in the show, though, is at the end of The Deal where they sing to the tune of Florence Quits and then go into the mini-reprise of Nobody's Side. Totally unnecessary extra information, though.
Worst three Chess songs?
1. Heaven Help My Heart (Totally unnecessary, not to mention annoying)
2. Merchandisers
3. One Night in Bangkok
Favorite musical of all-time (only one!)?
Ragtime. There are a few musicals that I really love, but I don't think that I've been as deeply moved by any other show.
Color you wear most often?
Hmm, I'm not sure. I find myself buying a lot of black shirts, so probably that. I wear a lot of blue, too.
I have no questions, but bumpity bump.
Don't know if these have been asked, but my head's going to explode so I'm not reading back :p
Chess dreamcast?
Show you would most like to see revived?
Hi, Sarah!
Chess dreamcast?
Florence: Marin Mazzie (I don't see her as fitting in this cast necessarily, but I'd love to see her as Florennce sometime)
Freddie: Adam Pascal
Anatoly: Raúl Esparza
The Arbiter: Michael Cerveris
Svetlana: Alice Ripley
Molokov: You know, I'm not sure...suggestions? I kind of think Brian Stokes Mitchell would be interesting.
Walter deCourcey: Jonathan Dokuchitz seemed kind of perfect before.
Show you would most like to see revived?
Sunday in the Park with George (well, I certainly wasn't going to say Chess again!).

How about your Ragtime dream cast?
Horrah, this one's easier. I don't really think that the OBC of Ragtime can be improved upon... so they are my dream cast.
I don't know about that. I'd re-cast the little boy. He always irked me. :-p
I love you Ash. That is all.
Mandiii! (Neil is very cute in your avatar.)
Chica: But he gets a pass because little kids in musicals are almost always annoying. I love the Little Girl, though.
Oh Raul.
Ash!! I don't have a question right now, but... just thought I'd stop in and fangirl a bit. *fangirls*
Aww, hi Jen! *hugs*
Neily is usually cute.
I'd figure I would add my congrats.
I can't think of a good question though...
I'll be in NYC through the first week in August. Do you think you'll be there then?
Oh, I was actually thinking mid-August, but I don't have any concrete plans at all yet. Hopefully you're still there when I come!
*crosses fingers*
Okay.
If you could force any one person to live in your basement, who would it be and why?
