18. Favorite Broadway song: Currently - "This Is Not Over Yet" from Parade.
19. Broadway shows you have seen more than once: Fiddler On The Roof. I know, how obscure. The obscure things I only have the opportunity to see once.
20. Role that you would love to play: This was always hard for me to come up with. I played Marian Paroo in The Music Man, and I think I fit her. Until Parade came along, I didn't really have an answer, really, though - and after researching Leo Frank and becoming such a student and fan - I'd love to play Lucille Frank in Parade. MySpace

20. Role that you would love to play: Elphaba, Wendla, Jo (Little Women)
So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?
3. Favorite Broadway (or other) musical: GYPSY - not that I've seen the perfect production of the show, but that it's a musical I love time and again. But coming a close second for me - at least for now - is CURTAINS. I just have a blast every time I see it. (I'm up to 5 now.)
4. Favorite Broadway (or other) straight play: The last Broadway play that blew me away was WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
5. Worst Broadway (or other) Musical: I can only think of Broadway musicals that didn't make much of an impression (and therefore I barely recall them) - HIGH SOCIETY and BIG.
6. Worst Broadway straight (or other) play: Guess I've been lucky again - not able to think of truly awful evenings at Broadway shows. The show that comes to mind is STEEL MAGNOLIAS. Very disappointing.
7. Favorite Musical movie: The Sound of Music
8. Worst Musical movie: Trying to decide between Xanadu, Grease 2 and Hello Dolly! (Barbra in this movie is just a big ball of wrong! And does anything need to be said about the other two films?)

18. Favorite Broadway song: Currently - "The Music In The Mirror" from A Chorus Line.
19. Broadway shows you have seen more than once: Legally Blonde, Rent.
