From play 10, which character are you most like?
Baker's Wife

Can you quote every line from play 1?
I have only seen the revival once so I don't think so.

How many times have you seen play 3?
Original Broadway twice, London once, Broadway "revival" twice. London was by far the best.

If you could be anyone from play 6, who would it be? Why?
If I could play anyone from play 6, Marian. If I had to BE anyone, Laura...after being locked away and rescued though. Come to think of it, I wouldn't want to be anyone. They all seem to suffer in some way.

Sweeney Todd.

Is there a musical you DON'T like?
The only show I've seen that I didn't like was Little Mermaid.

If so, which one? Why?
I hated Little Mermaid because I thought too much of it was just...goofy. I never once cared about the characters because I had the feeling that the people involved whether they were the actors or the writes or directors just didn't really care about the story. Yeah, it's based on a movie intended for a young audience, but that doesn't mean it has to be dumbed down even more than the movie was! Everything looked cheap as well. And Positoovity made me want to stab at my own ear drums with a pair of knitting needles.

Do you think the movie versions are better, or the original Broadway plays?
In most cases, the Broadway versions are better. I hear the movie version of Chicago is better, but I haven't seen the original production yet so I can't say for sure.

This or That:

The Producers or RENT - Rent

Wicked or Chicago - Wicked

Fiddler on the Roof or Oklahoma - Oklahoma

Thoroughly Modern Millie or 42nd Street - Thoroughly Modern Millie

Hairspray or Grease - Hairspray

Can you quote every line from play 1?
Nope.

How many times have you seen play 3?
Once.

If you could be anyone from play 6, who would it be? Why?

What's your favorite song from play 7?
I love Love Is Always Lovely in the End or Bride's Lament.

If so, which one? Why?
I really don't care for Spring Awakening (gasp) and some others but Spring Awakening is the first one that comes to mind.

Do you think the movie versions are better, or the original Broadway plays?
Movies can never replace the feeling of love theatre. Being in that theatre seeing those actors performing right in front of you is truly magical.

This or That:

The Producers or RENT - RENT.

Wicked or Chicago - I love both dearly but I'm going to say Chicago.

Fiddler on the Roof or Oklahoma - Oklahoma.

Thoroughly Modern Millie or 42nd Street - 42nd Street.

I’ve seen all of them performed live but only 4 of them in NYC.

What's your favorite song from play 2?
“Comes Once in A Lifetime”

Who's your favorite character from play 4?
Emile de Becque

What's your favorite scene from play 5?
The Ascot Race scene

What's your favorite lyric from play 8?
from the song: Joey, Joey, Joey:
“Like a perfumed woman
The wind blows through the bunkhouse
Like a perfumed woman
Smellin’ of where she’s been”

From play 10, which character are you most like?
Pippin

Can you quote every line from play 1?
No, but I like these two:
MR. SNOW: “You’d think a woman with ten children would have more sense.”
CARRIE: “If I had any sense I wouldn’t have ten children!”

How many times have you seen play 3?
About 20 times, 16 because I was the sound and special effects technician on a 1977 regional production of Company and performed in it every night.

THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN

SUNSET BOULEVARD, because in my opinion it trivializes one of the greatest movies ever made and the music is terrible.

Do you think the movie versions are better, or the original Broadway plays?
With the exception of THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN, none compare favorably against the live theatre experience, although I have to admit that in the case of SOUTH PACIFIC & CAROUSEL, although the films themselves are inferior to the stage originals, the movie soundtracks feature far superior orchestrations and vocal performances than any stage performance or recording I have ever seen or heard, including more recent productions of these shows.

This or That:
The Producers or RENT – THE PRODUCERS
