Wax Lion says he would love to play Simba, The baby lion in WICKED (or the green rubber baby, whichever comes first), Aslan, The Cowardly Lion in THE WIZ and his all time favorite role to play would be a killer bunny in Spamalot. He has a fetish of being Mary Poppins umbrella handle in the West End and Mimi's candle in RENT, too.

If anyone (who matterS) is listening, please give an out-of-work Wax Lion a job. He's been on unemployment since Wonderfalls was cancelled.

Love,
Wax Lion
