Rav! My FORMER BWW hag!

I remember the username story, but I'm sure I should let you tell it.

[Raviolisun]

I've always wondered about your screenname. What's the meaning behind it?
Well, my name is Rivianna, so my nickname for a lot of my childhood was Ravioli. When I was about nine or ten, my brother was creating an E-mail address for me, and he asked me what I wanted it to be. I said “Ravioli…sun.” So after that, all of my screennames have been “Raviolisun,” because I didn’t feel like remembering a billion different names. That's basically it.

There's the username story.

If you could pick one role for Patti to play that she's yet to do, what would it be?
Well, she finally got to be Mama Rose, so I'm pretty satisfied about that. I mostly just want her to originate another role.

What is your favorite movie?
West Side Story is probably my all-time favorite. I remember hating it when I was little though, just because it didn't have a happy ending.

Least favorite?
Any Wayans Brothers movies. Ewww. Oh, and Evita.

Favorite book?
Probably To Kill a Mockingbird and The Giver. Everyone should read these books at one time or a

Least Favorite?
Actually, Fahrenheit 451. Everyone loved it, but it bothers me.

What is your pet peeve?
People licking their fingers. I'm twitching with disgust just thinking about it.

If you had a million dollars, what would you spend it on?
Save what I needed for college, get a little house, then go show-crazy!

Favorite Tony Awards Performance?
Oh, great question! I love so many. Some of my favorites are:

Ragtime
Les Miserables
Opener with Patti, JHo, and Betty Buckley
Original Broadway production of Nine

How do you arrange your Playbills?
I'm bad. I basically just stack them. Most of them aren't even real Playbills anyway.

OH MY GOD, I love you so much, Rav! Congratulations!

What's the strangest dream you've ever had?

[Raviolisun]

Posted: 6/20/07 at 11:47pm

OH MY GOD, I love you too, JAG!

What's the strangest dream you've ever had?
I never, ever have normal dreams. But some of the strangest are the ones where I go to see a show, and it's a super half-as$ production. I've had about ten of them. Like, I had one where I went to see Spring Awakening, and it was in a fast food place. Very weird.

If you could have seen Patti in one of her original roles (Eva Perón, Fantine, Norma Desmond, etc.), which would it be? Explain.

Would you put on the immune disease costume and run around Los Angeles in front of the "RENT" theater chasing random fans and threatening to infect them? jk (inside joke)

If you could worship at the altar of another theatrical diva besides Patti, who would it be?

Evita isn't my favorite show of hers, but, well, it's her role. She owns it. Who wouldn't want to see that?

Would you put on the immune disease costume and run around Los Angeles in front of the "RENT" theater chasing random fans and threatening to infect them? jk (inside joke)
Haha. Totally.

If you could worship at the altar of another theatrical diva besides Patti, who would it be?
My next diva is Audra McDonald.

And it was neck and neck between JustaGirl2 and wonderfulwizard11, and it came down to who had been here longer. So congratulations, wonderfulwizard11! I think you're extremely nice, and we always have a lot of fun in the chat. Congratulations!

If you could bring back any TV show, what and why?

Rocko's Modern Life. It was a great show that didn't last long enough.

I had a dream where George Hearn, dressed as Sweeney Todd, tried to kill me with a razor. The moral of that tale? Don't watch Sweeney Todd before bed.

Well, I wasn't planning anything, but who knows, maybe I will.

Thanks everyone!

Congrats WW11!

Which character from a play (musical or straight) do you most identify with? Why?

[wonderfulwizard11]

Posted: 6/21/07 at 2:49pm

What has given you the most pleasure in the last year?

It's cliche, but being with my family around the holidays really makes me happy.

What's something that we would be surprised to learn about you?

Maybe that I'm fifteen? Or that I was once a big member of a Wicked fanboard.

If your house were on fire, what material possessions would you grab on the way out?

My laptop, my Playbills/Programs, and one of my childhood toys that I love.

If we asked an important person in your life to describe you, what would he or she say? How accurate would it be?

Funny, kinda shy, a little odd. I think they'd be pretty accurate.

What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?

It's not really "out-there", but I've always really wanted to try tap dancing.

What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? And, that you were given?

My sister and I took my dad to the movies on Father's Day. I was nice to spend some time with my dad by ourselves. As for one I was given? While it isn't my birthday yet, my parents taking me to NYC to see Grey Gardens and Gypsy.

Which character from a play (musical or straight) do you most identify with? Why?

Though I'm not a fan of the show, Moritz from Spring Awakening. I think what happens to him in the show (sans suicide) really personifies what I'm going through as a teen.

Congratulations, wonderfulwizard?

How do you bold words like that? Hehe.

[tazber]

Posted: 6/21/07 at 4:08pm

ab99,

8. <- See that? See how it's bold? Make it bold by inserting text in between < b> and < /b >, without the spaces.
So...bold would look like this

< b >bold< /b > WITHOUT THE SPACES.

Italics, would be < i > < /i >
Underline, would be < u > < /u >
You can also combine the tags, like so

Hello. would look like

< b >< i >< u >Hello.< /b >< /i >< /u >


more fun tricks are on the FAQ page at the top of the board.
