11) Which question is the one you most like being asked for the umpteenth time?

"1) Would you approve if Sutton wore a blonde Afro wig as a change instead of her Colleen Moore bob?" YES! It would inject some flava into the proceedings. Cuz as it is now, sugar ain't a flava.

"2) Can you think of situations in the forthcoming BOY FROM OZ which would require lots of gratuitous frontal nudity from Hugh Jackman?" When the Aryan prisoners start a fight with the Muslims in the prison common area, Hugh's character can be sent to solitary, naked, with just a bucket in the room. Because my assumption is that the Boy From Oz in the title is the Christopher Meloni character. Am I wrong about that?

"3) Do you think Steve Sondheim should ditch the unkempt beard and floppy hair in favor of a buzz-cut? Or is that look now REALLY over?" Even if it's over, it would be new to Steve. Like watching the Queer Eye rebroadcast on NBC. Why not drag his style from 1970s to somewhere in the 1980s? Can't hurt, might help.

"4) Which star do you think has has the biggest mouth: Patti LuPone, Richard Kind or Martha Raye?" That's an easy one. Richard Kind can take his own fist! Just like Broadwayguy!!

"5) Do you think Gavin Creel is naturally smooth or do you think he shaves his body hair?" My hunch is that Gavin shaves off both of his chest hairs and that his down-below is naturally free of secondary sexual characteristics.

"6) How do you think Bernadette would look in 'Pippi Longstocking' braids?" Who WOULDN'T look great in those? In fact, they might make for a nice transitional step for #3 above.

"7) Who is slimier: Andrew Lloyd Weber or David Gest?" Trick question! The correct answer is --u-- -----l!

"Which talentless 'star' do you think would make a great Roxie Hart?" Gavin Creel!!
