Have you ever given a Broadway performer a gift? If so, who and what did you give?

I bought Idina Menzel a "Wizard of Oz" Christmas ordament of the Wicked Witch of the West melting. I thought it was the coolest thing. I even bought one for myself!

I haven't, but thought about getting something small and cool for Sutton like a fan book of me and my friends about how we think she's great. And I'm gonna make a thing for Joanna Gleason and Sherie Rene when I see DRS they rock my world!

I think it's so sweet that you guys gave your favorite performers your flowers, also.

Flowers are the extent of it basically. For one show (Cavalia...not broadway but an amazing show nonetheless), I brought one of the performers a boquet of flowers and I actually got to go up and give them to her during curtain call. She seemed very flattered which made me glad I bought them for her.

I used to collect Disney pins and I read that Kerry Butler did too, so I included a couple of princess pins with my fan letter to her.

I had a hard time wrestling with this idea in the fall. I wanted to give someone a little "going away" gift, and I just had no idea what to get. Not really the kind of guy you could give flowers to, even though that's easy.

Other than flowers to a small number of female performers, the only thing I have ever given someone was a small hand written note on a blank note card. I enclosed a picture of the two of us, and actually, I think he *did* read it.
