Someone else put Miss Neuwirth. Woo-Yeah for the Beebster! :)
*looks around innocently* I see I'm the only one that thinks Emily kicks some major booty here... have you people not witnessed the talent that is that woman? LOL. *huffs off back into her corner*

I really hope so! He was the reason I went to see it in the first place, and he was so perfect in his role. Really, the entire cast was perfect! I'll let you know when I find out for sure; I know a couple of people associated with the show.

Mary Stuart Masterson is my favourite actress for a few years now and especially because of her films. But now that she came to Broadway it's even better. I would have never thought that she would do a musical one day. Well, who did.....? I was in NY around Easter and saw her in "Nine". I am from Switzerland and that was the coolest trip I ever did. To see her on stage was a dream come true and she was great!
Other actors I like a lot with Broadway experience:
Philip Seymour Hoffman (saw him in "True West" in 2000) Chita Rivera (she was awesome in "Nine") Billy Crudup (would love to see him one day on stage) Mary-Louise Parker (saw her in "Proof" also in 2000) Harvey Fierstein and Marissa Jaret Winokur (they were just excellent in "Hairspray")
I have a lot and I don't feel like listing them all because I know I will leave someone out. My number one male actor would be Peter Lockyer and number one female is Catherine Brunell. They're both understudies at the moment, which is kinda funny. But I've been a huge fan of them since they played Marius and Eponine in Les Mis and since they left I've gotten to see them as Rodolfo in La Boheme and Millie in Thoroughly Modern Millie, respectively. They are both amazing. OK, I'm done rambling now.
