Narrated 'Rocky Horror' four times.

Played The Pirate King in 'Penzance' twice.

Really, I wouldn't mind doing 'Penzance' again. It's been seven or eight years now.

I played Jeffrey ("We Beseech Thee") in Godspell a year a part from each other. With such an ensemble show, it was ok doing it within such a short time span. Yet, when it comes to any other role I've had, I'd like to have more space between runs. It would give me more time to distance myself from certain mind sets and notions from one production and form new tactics and goals with a new cast.

Not yet, but I plan to play Jack Worthing in the Importance of Being Earnest once more before I die. Once was just not enough to do everything you could with that character. I'm still flaming mad about how few performances we did.

I'll be salesman #3 again in The Music Man, does that count? Oh, and I'm in the Quartet this time (lead tenor, even though I'm a baritone).

I've done many roles more than once, including Jesus in "Godspell" (twice), Hero in "Forum" (three times), the Cowardly Lion in "Wizard of Oz" (five times), Sancho in "Man of La Mancha" (twice), Barnaby in "Hello, Dolly!" (three times), Puck in "Midsummer Night's Dream" (five times), Sparky in "Forever Plaid" (three times) and the Emcee in "Cabaret" (twice).

Some roles that I'd like to do again: Tobias in "Sweeney Todd", Albin in "La Cage aux Folles" and Seymour in "Little Shop".

I think it's always fun to go back and rediscover a role for a second or third (or even fourth!) time, as long as you can bring something new and interesting to it.
