*scrolls back frantically looking for addy's questions*

I'm so sorry! I didn't even seen them! Here we go!

What brought you to BWW?

I was looking for good Broadway sites that would tell me if Alan Cumming was going to come back for the final performances of Cabaret, since I was going to go see it. This was it. I fell away from it for a year or so, but then re-registered when I first moved to Chicago to keep me entertained at an eneventful temping job. Now, I'm just completely addicted.

And... are you seriously looking into working/teaching abroad? If so, where?

If I were going to teach, and it looks like they may be the best/easiest way to get abroad, I would love to teach in Taiwan or Japan. I love Japanese culture and I met a lot of great Taiwanese people in college, as we had a high international student population. I hope to do it!

I hope so, too. I asked my mom what she would do if I moved overseas and she started to cry. So, while my mom's crying is a deterrent, I'm usually a fairly determined person.

---

SG, YAY!!!

Um. YAY RAUL LOVE!

---

congrats, sg.

say you wake up stark naked at starbucks with no recollection of how you got there but enough money in your hand for breakfast, what kind of drink do you order and do you go with a pastry and if so what kind?

---

Yay, somebody else knows what I'm talking about! Another reason to want to marry you, Kitz.

papa- Well, first I'd call you since I'd be naked and I can't be naked without your being around staring at my chest. Then, I'd order some sort of decaf green tea because who wants to be hyper AND naked at Starbucks? I'd probably order a large pastry, like a cruller, so that I could cover up my whatnot because I doubt my fellow morning commuters would want that all up in their coffee.

Forgot to post my usual question....If you could interview one person (dead or alive)..who would it be and what would you ask?

---

Thanks, Boobs. Blood is so tacky on diamonds.

If you could interview one person (dead or alive)..who would it be and what would you ask?

It would probably have to be Edgar Allan Poe as I've been fascinated with him since I was a child. I would mostly ask him about his life and what he would have done differently, if anything. I would also go story by story and poem by poem with him and get the back story on all of them. I mean, he's already dead, so what else has he got to do?

---

I'm sorry. I just choked on some tea reading papa's question, SG's answer to it, and katygrace's greetings....

Oh, katygrace, I was thinking we'd have to have a showdown when we got home tonight. It's a good thing you got here.

Which of my cast recordings drives you the most insane?

Like you really need to ask, but since everyone else may not know, Rent.

What's your dream cast of Company?

Dream cast? It would definitely have Raul in it because, after seeing him play Bobby, I can't imagine anyone else. There are an awful lot of characters to decide on, but I'd love it if Elaine Stritch came back and did Joanne. I would also have loved to see Robert Westenberg do Harry because I have a feeling he was stunning. As for the rest, who knows? I liked the cast in Cincy quite a lot.

If you were going to teach an intro to musical theater class, what cast recordings would be mandatory listening?

As Thousands Cheer
Porgy and Bess
Oklahoma!
Show Boat
Company
A Little Night Music
Sweeney Todd
The Phantom of the Opera

I'm sure there're more, but I'm thinking way too hard about this.

If you could ask Mr. Sondheim one question what would it be?

"Do you realize that you've changed musical theatre as a whole and, if so, how do you feel about it?"

That's sort of two, but it's only one sentence, so it counts!

Congrats! I haven't talked to you very much, but you seem great and I love reading your posts. Enjoy your celebrityhood!

Hopefully you don't mind if I put up a couple of questions:
If you aren't allowed to choose Sorry-Grateful, what's your next-favorite Sondheim song?

What's your favorite city?

I've had the song "Sorry Greatful" stuck in my head all morning. How are you going to make it up to me?
