The mystery which is Wax Lion is as mystical as a blackhole in the bright blue sky **cue Twilight Zone music**

And Tiff I do not want to know about what arouses you ok? Leave that in the off topic board. LOL!!!!

Fredi--you are an inspiration to us all and should be commended for you just being you **round of applause**

Tango: Maureen has actually slowly become my favorite scene in the show. And in the movie. It's just so great. I have to say, I like the OBC recording of this song better, though.

The last 4 posts were all posted at the same time. That's crazy...

Fredi-

What was the most thrilling moment you've ever felt while being on Broadway?

Ah, okay, Beka. Yeesh, I get a life away from BWW for a few days and miss the excitement! (I'm glad you didn't totally put your foot in your mouth this time.)

Alright fine. I will finally reveal the secret of Wax Lion. The real name of Wax Lion is . . . *lights go dark, a scream*

I'm sorry Spiderdj82 is no longer with us. He was about to reveal Top Secret information and was dealt with. Have a nice day.

That dancing was AMAZING. Makes me want to know how to dance like that.

What was the most thrilling moment you've ever felt while being on Broadway?

I second this question. Please, tell us!

And now Contact is on. A little gem that some of the new fans will never hear. *hugs Contact*

Hey Fredi, this is a really random question, but who'd you sit between under the sheet during Contact?

most thrilling moment?

there were 2 - both on opening night...

1. - the NEVER ENDING STANDING O at the top of the show ...
still makes me go *wow* after 10 years...

2. - We're Okay - in it - then for a brief flash outside myself, watching myself do a solo, spotlight number on Broadway!! Then, back to work...

incredible!

I loved that whole sequence in the movie. But take me or leave me has always been one of my favorite songs and I think both Fredi/Idina and Tracie/Idina are Smookin in both renditions. Talk about steamy hotness. Meow, indeed.

Fredi, we heard today on the View about the day after Jonathan passed and how that day felt and what the cast did. I was just wondering if you could tell us how YOU felt that day. It must have been so emotional.

Hi Fredi! I just wanted to say that even though I was too young to have ever seen you perform you are simply amazing and truly an inspiration. You're voice is so powerful and moving. It is wonderful that performers such as yourself take time out of your busy scedule to talk with us obsessive fans. I look forward to hopefully getting to see you perform someday!


"If you're a writer or a painter, you write or paint whenever you want to. But we have to do this task at a precise moment. At three minutes past eight, the curtain goes up, and you've got to pretend to believe, because no one else will believe you unless you believe it yourself. A great deal of our work is simply making ourselves dream. That is the task. At three minutes past eight,YOU MUST DREAM."

Mom: Kali, it's time to get offline and go to sleep.
Me: But Fredi Walker is online....
Mom: OMG Are you kidding? That's so cool, she's absolutely incredible. You can stay online for another 15 minutes if you tell her I say hi!

So, um, yeah...my mom says hi............

And I second her opinion, you are truly incredible and it is so exciting to be talking to you! *...is done being fangirlish...*
