Hmmm.

I'm compelled to say Max Bialystock, if only for the fact that he's a rich, cranky Jew. I'm all of that now....except the rich part. Someday.

Since I know you're a Simpsons fan:

What are your five favorite episodes?

Least Favorite?

Favorite Character?

Least favorite?

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

If you had to live somewhere other than where you currently live, where would it be and why?

What's the last great show that you saw?

What are you currently reading?

What's your favorite CD of all time?

PC or Mac?

What is the greatest performance you have ever seen on stage? On screen?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Some questions for you:

If you could reproduce one flop, which would it be?

How would you improve upon it?

Are you a traveler?

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Hmm....I'd put on a revival of High Fidelity, one of the only shows that I actually think wasn't as bad as the critics said. You'd have to rewrite Abaire's book, of course.

I travel all over. I love it.

Congrats to one of the board's most dedicated and intelligent posters!

What has been your favorite part of BWW?

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

2 things: I love reading all the gossip and I love reading everyone's take on different shows.

I hate all the idiots who post. They know who they are.

What is a memorable thread/conversation you have participated in on BWW?
I love any thread where I can debate and defend shows I love and hate. It's too hard to remember specific threads, but a lot, of late, comes up about Spring Awakening.

What do you like to do in the summer that you don't do during other seasons?
Sit by the pool and stare into space.

Favorite drink?
Orange juice or ginger ale.

When was the last time you did something and then thought "that was a complete waste of my life"?
Easily, Monday, at the internship that was a complete waste of time (which I no longer partake in, because of that)

Something interesting you did over the weekend:
ask me again on Sunday night, 'cause last weekend wasn't very interesting.

Neither. I'm really a fan of the Mets (though I respect the Yankees very highly). Metfan was taken when I came to the board, I believe.

I watched the most bizarre movie ever made: Apocalypto. Watched it on Shabbos, just to get Mel upset.

Yankeefan, are you here?

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson
