Worst: Lazor Wolf In Fiddler On the Roof. I mean Fiddler is a pritty good show but when you have to get into character" for an hour and 15 min., you really get sick of it expecialy when your a week from opening and don't even have most of the second act blocked. Also Ton Ton Julian in once on this island in middle school first off we didn't have enough minorities so we just mixed the show and had a girl play agway second of all I lost my voice before we opened and sounded like a mixture of curmet the frog and a ton deaf man in his late 70's or 80's

Best: I have a couple, Nicely Nicely in Guys and Dolls, Mr Brook/ Braxton in Little women, Fredrick In a Sound Of Music, Andrew Mcklaren in Brigadoon, a chorus member in Evita... Evita was such a fun show because the cast was incredible and we were kind of like a family by the end. And My Most Favorite Part had to be Kind Herrod In Jesus Christ Super Star. It was my favorite because I could do what ever I wanted to it. My Directors wanted it really gay so I made it as flamboient as possible. I had Glitter on my eye lids, A red lip stick, A beauty mark that changed sides every night and I had a White Tux jacket with a Bright red tie and black dress pants. The Last show was by far the best even though I came on late because of costume issues and mic issues, It was the best because I put my hair in a faue hawk and spraied my hair red ( making fun of the kid that played Judis) and I had a hand full of glitter. At the end of the song I blew glitter on jesus. It was such a fun part and I want to do it again and make it better then it was.

Worst: Stuart Little in the FCRT Tour of Stuart Little the Musical. The script is crap. The music is crap. The direction is crap. The whole show is just crap theatre.

My worst role has probably been either the Steward in Into the Woods, JR. (I SO wish we could have done the whole show instead of the ACT 1 only show, but with our cast, I think the junior version fit us well) or Hill, the butler in Pride and Prejudice. They were both thankless roles, and like someone who was the Steward also earlier said, you don't have as much fun as the rest of the cast. Plus, I wanted to be the Narrator, but I didn't get it. As for Hill, I was the only black person in the whole cast (there was another mixed girl) and here I am serving tea to the Bennetts. But I did win an award for that role though...

My best role has been Malachi Stack in The Matchmaker, it is such a fun play, and sometimes overshadowed by its musical child Hello Dolly! (people forget that it came before the musical and that the Shirley Maclaine movie came before the movie musical) Anyway, I had so much fun, it's been my favorite show so far. Malachi has a monolougue, I must say I delivered well each night, and even got an applause after it once. I also enjoyed being part of the ensemble and playing the part of Big Jule in Guys and Dolls. I had this really deep voice for the part, and people still know me for it.

Best: As an actor, the title role in Ondine - such a challenge (and so many stinkin' lines) but one of my fondest high school memories. As a cast member, I just finished playing Agent 99 in Get Smart, which was probably the best show altogether I've ever done.

Worst: I had a similar experience with Into the Woods as beltingbaritone - I was initially cast as Little Red when I was 13, but another girl auditioned a day after the cast list was "officially" set and ended up replacing me. It wouldn't have sucked so much, either, if I'd have just ended up as a stepsister or what not, but the director gave me Granny instead. Jack's Mother ended up dropping out and I moved up to that role, which wasn't as bad, but still - you don't tell a Sondheim-obsessed 13-year-old that she's just been cast in one of the like, three roles a 13-year-old can play in a Sondheim show and THEN recast her as Granny. It's just cruel.

Best: Fred Graham/Petruchio in Kiss Me, Kate. Fabulous experience. Loved my co-star. Everything was perfect.

Worst: Bernardo in West Side Story. I'm white and jewish. Let's just say getting into character is not always easy. Second place: Noah Claypole/Ensemble in Oliver! Terrible show, terrible costume, no direction, terrible everything.
