Posted: 3/24/09 at 11:23amI think all the outrage over at ATC is HILARIOUS. The things people choose to get offended at. We have bigger battles.

Posted: 3/24/09 at 12:00pmThe ATC-ers have really gotten their panties in a bunch over this one. I thought it was hilarious, and added a bit of humor to these mundane questionnaires.

Posted: 3/24/09 at 12:18pmI too thought it was Hilarious, lets just hope Rosie doesnt read it otherwise she will organise a boycot of the show

Posted: 3/24/09 at 12:44pmPersonally I don't find it offensive, but I do find it stupid. It just makes him look like he thinks he's the funniest person in the world. Not so.

Posted: 3/24/09 at 1:17pmSo I am assuming he is straight. Was the marriage shout out about him being married?
#10re: PLAYBILL.COM'S CUE & A: Will Swenson
Posted: 3/24/09 at 1:19pmNo no, something about "he thinks anyone should have have the right to marry the person they love" or something like that.

From the playbill:
" Will thinks anyone should be able to get married if they want to."

I agree with the poster above ... while not offensive, his answers are foolish - and UNfunny. Yikes.
#13re: PLAYBILL.COM'S CUE & A: Will Swenson
Posted: 3/24/09 at 2:13pmSigh. And he likes Radiohead. He's wonderful.
#14re: PLAYBILL.COM'S CUE & A: Will Swenson
Posted: 3/24/09 at 3:48pmHe looks like Tarzan.
#15re: PLAYBILL.COM'S CUE & A: Will Swenson
Posted: 3/24/09 at 9:26pmI, for one, enjoyed his answers.

I found them funny. I like his casualness.
I especially loved this line.
"Worst onstage mishap: During previews for Lestat (yes, Lestat)...
And for the record yes he is straight, I actually heard some inside "scoop" while at the stage door. The person I was sitting next to during the show is friends with someone in the show so after the show they were next to me talking to me/her friend/some other people and said something about his relationship. I'm not saying anything more. But the woman next to me with her two daughters (the kinds that love stupid gossip) of course had to to tell everyone in the cast when they came out of the stage door they were aware of his little secret. I wanted to slap them across the face.

Posted: 3/24/09 at 9:54pmAs far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with looking like Tarzan. WOOF!!!!!

Posted: 3/25/09 at 9:34amI thought it was a great Q and A.

My, my, my, it takes very little to make people's panties to go Tarzan Style on them! Geesh he was being flippant and trying to be entertaining. I found nothing wrong with the Q & A
Grow a thicker skin people fight those battles which need be fought stop wasting time on trivial perceived slights!

I never knew there were any rumours about his sexuality. A few months ago, I found the strangest video on youtube insinuating that Will was an aetheist, okay, it wasn't insinuating, it was saying he was an aetheist. Anyway, Will actually commented on this video saying that he didn't understand the video and addressed rumours saying that he'd recently gotten divorced.
I highly doubt he's still a practicing mormon. I have a mormon friend who refuses to see Hair with me due to more than just the nude scene.
I enjoyed his Cue and A. Based on the article, I think he'd be a pretty cool guy to hang with.

Posted: 3/25/09 at 3:48pmRwlevin, I totally agree with your comment about WS being a cool person to hang out with -- not that I'll ever have the opportunity but, if nothing else, I don't think I'd be bored.

At this stage in the game, I don't think it's any big secret that Will and another well-known actress are a couple. The two of them have appeared in public (PDAs and all) many times.
And that concludes the Page Six "Blind Item" portion of BWW for the day....

Posted: 3/25/09 at 5:51pmOh wah wah. If it was "Scientologists" or "evangelicals" ATC'd be laughing their asses off.
