Sorry it's taken me so long! I've been out all day, and now I'm really pressing for time, I have a voice lesson in half an hour...anyway, thanks for your questions!
So do tell us, what's the reason behind your username?
You're the first person to ever ask this question. It's a homage to ALW's The Phantom of the Opera because 12 years ago, it was the first musical I saw. I was 5 years old, and my grandparents for no reason that they can recollect, took me to see the 3rd national tour of the show. I was in the second row, and was completely mesmerized by the whole thing. Because of that performance, I decided to become an actor at age 5, and I'm still pursuing a career in acting 12 years later! (Also, I've now seen the show 7 times over the years...I need to make to 10!)
What are your top three ALW shows?
I don't love ALL of Webber's work, I find him a bit lacking in his current years, however, I admire what he's done for musical theatre. My top three (out of 6 shows of his I love)
1)The Woman in White ---I love this show because it's so different from anything else I've seen, including non-Webber. It tells its story in a very interesting and unique way, which gives actors a lot of room to really explore their characters, because their interactions are so real.
2)The Phantom of the Opera ---my first, and probably all time favorite show. It's so beautifully staged. I haven't seen many GOOD Phantoms the past few years, but when he's played right, damn, is he an amazing character (which I'd love to play)
3)Evita ---it's an emotional journey with an historic figure.
What is your perfect day?
My perfect day is, and this is very simplistic, being with my friends anywhere. Whether it be in NY, London, or at one's house, we always have a good sober time, and laugh about those memories later on. My friends are so important to me, and to spend any time with them is always a joy.
Favorite theatrical experience?
I have a few, is that alright?
Seeing The Woman in White was an exhilarating dream come true for me.
Whenever I see a friend in a show. It's wonderful because I feel a connection with this person while on stage, because I know how much joy they feel from conversations prior.
Seeing a regional production of Metamorphoses...such an emotional show.
Chocolate or Vanilla?
Vanilla.
Coke or Pepsi?
Pepsi.
Cats or Dogs?
Well...I love cats, but I like cute little dogs like Yorkies. So I'll go with dogs, as long as people take care of them!
Least favorite ALW show?
By Jeaves. 'Nuff said!
Is Clay cheap?
He should have tipped him...it's only right.
Who would win in a fight: ALW or Sondheim?
Sondheim all the way! ALW is like a little nymph in the basement, he'd burrow his way back in if Sondheim came after him with his fighting words!
Which Clayhead would you like to hold down, so that Patti Lupone can sock them in the gut?
Hmmmm....any Clayhead who says he should be People's Sexiest Man Alive.
Are you going to do anything to celebrate?
Just answering everyone's questions tonight will be my celebration. I love reading others', and I feel honored to be sharing these answers with all of you.
I may come back later and expand more on some of my answers, especially the favorite theatrical experiences...but I'm pressing for time.
Until later on! And, thank you! :)

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