2. Male or Female: Female

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.)
