Hi, Fredi! "We're Okay" is one of my favourite songs in RENT and I missed it in the movie. I love you on the OBCR.
Just a random question: What's your favourite type of ice cream?

God if I had a costume from RENT I'd wear it as much as possible! People would be like "Hey I love your jacket!" and I'd be like "Yeah it was JOANNE'S jacket IN RENT!" And I'd think "Oh yeah, I'm awesome, what now."
Congrats Fredi, darling. Your thread had reached 10 pages in practically record time. We can't get enough of you on here!

that's awesome you kept the jacket! if that were me i would totally just wear it around the house, 24-7 (as i...um....tend to do with costumes pieces i have from shows i've done! haha.)
What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?

yes - my Rafiki staff - though not from Africa - was specially blessed - as was the divining bowl which i made myself and was specially painted by the LK art people - then blessed.
hubby - had NO idea what i did for a living. He's just not that into showbiz... he's force fed it now because of me
we connected on very deep levels and our respective professions take a backseat to what's real and important in life.
Sorry...another obsessive Renthead question...but when did you all find out that Taye and Idina were um, together?

awww...i think that deserves a big AWWW, you guys sound like you are so very happy :)
Hi Fredi. I really enjoyed you on the OBCR and I'll just say how much I appreciate you taking the time to post here. It really gives a great feeling to everyone.

Another question: Given your experiences, would you ever allow your children to go into showbusiness?
Okaaaaay...now I'm just intrigued about random info...
Fredi, you kept your Joanne jacket. And today I learned that Anthony's Mark scarf is safe inside of his closet...so what other momentos did the other cast members keep?
If you don't mind me asking, how old are the kid(s)?
I think that is wonderful that your husband is not involved in show business, so he doesn't feel the need to "brown nose" It seems like you both have acheived a healthy balance in you relationship.
I would never want to marry a musician, I need to be kept grounded. =)

Gosh, if people don't knokw who RENT OBCers are, I'm a little embarrassed to say I freak out a little bit, which is sometimes not the most appropriate response....
*My friend Jackie is drawing a comic about us when we get older and the picture of my has me with a messenger bag with lots of little buttons, one of which says "I ♥ Fredi & Idina"*
Eddie: Who's Idina?
Me: OH MY GOD EDDIE I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TALK TO YOU LEAVE THE TABLE NOW!
Eddie: And who's Fredi?
Me: OUT OF MY SIGHT!
Good thing it was during lunch and not during class....... but yes it makes me depressed when people don't know RENT.
Very cool about you and the hubby. Thanks for answering.

cubiegirl - yes we have kids. The "munckins".
As for Taye and Di
We accepted their relationship as public knowledge when they went public with it - which was during the run and before they left
Mandi Moo -
sorry to disappoint you - but you will NEVER get me to dish out secrets on the OBCers... that's my fam...

Well, it is obvious that Fredi is not willing to gossip. Too bad.
