Hi, gang! Sorry I'm late! I had to run some errands. I wasn't even planning on being on today because I was going to work on something else, but I'm glad I checked. Thanks to all the little people who made this possible... well, namely YessicaB. It's an honor, really! I didn't think it would happen this fast... especially considering that I kinda sorta maybe was involved in the deletion of two threads...yesterday? But let's not dwell on that...
ANYWAY, I'll get right on to the questions.
IF YOU HAD A SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Well, I've always wanted to fly. (I don't know if that counts as a SUPER power or not). When I was a kid I used to jump off my roof and onto the snow (repeatedly) in an attempt fly... to no avail.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST BROADWAY SHOW?
My first (and so far only) Broadway show was BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE?
It was a bit disappointing...initially. Not the show, though. The show was fine. It's just that the theater was smaller than I'd expected. I was expecting the stage to be the size of a football field! Then again, I've always had BIG expectations about everything... Well, NOT everything... :)
WHAT SHOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE SEEN, BUT DIDN'T BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T BORN?
I've often wished that I could have seen Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison, and Stanley Holloway in the original production of MY FAIR LADY.
MCDONALD'S OR BURGER KING? (Neither is not an option)
You're going to make me pick something? Well, I'm a vegetarian so I don't go to these places. But since you're practically forcing me to choose (sans the pistol to my head), I'm going to say McDonald's. But only for the nostalgia. It was a place I loved as a kid.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PERFORMER AND WHY?
I'm guessing you mean Broadway performer. I don't really have a fovorite, but I was just listening to her so I'll say Ruthie Henshall. What? She performed on Broadway...once. Ruthie's rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" never fails to send shivers up my spine.
WHAT SHOW WOULD YOU MOST WANT TO BE IN AND WHO DO YOU WANT TO PLAY?
Well, my favorite show is EVITA so I'd definitely like to be in that, and Che is the male lead so I'd probaby have to be him. But if there is ANY way that I can be Eva... :)
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ROLE YOU'D ONE DAY LIKE TO PLAY (SOON AS YOU GET CASTED ON BROADWAY?
Well, considering that I can't sing for...uh, beans... I'm going to safely say that I'll NEVER appear on Broadway. However, since that is totally a hypothetical question (I believe) I'm going to say...*thinks for a moment*...Does this have to be a singing role because I can only think of Stanley Kawolski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. I used to idolize Marlon Brando and I've always wanted to play that part. I think I've got the sex appeal down pat. Right? Right? (Why don't I hear an echo?)
WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE BROADWAY SONGWRITER/SONGWRITING TEAM?
This is like asking me to choose my favorite child, which I don't actually have but it felt like a good analogy. Let me put it this way. The shows I most listen to are written by Stephen Sondheim and Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber. (Yes, it is possible to like both!)
WHAT DO YOU DO FIRST WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
Well, in the times when I actually get some sleep, I'll say I shower and brush my teeth. I know that's two things, but it really is a regimen. I'm a stickler for hygiene so that's the first thing I do.
WHAT'S YOUR STARBUCKS ORDER? iF NOT STARBUCKS, WHAT'S YOUR COFFEE SHOP ORDER?
Believe it or not, I don't drink coffee... at all. (It stains your teeth). But on a REALLY hot day, I am known to enjoy a Coffee Coolatta (through a straw) from Dunkin Donuts.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
My favorite flavor of ice cream is... bubble gum! It has been ever since I was a child and I don't eat anything else but. Of course, I don't have it all the time, but on the rare occasions when I do get a craving that's my choice.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
