Mine is Gavin Creel at a cabaret act I saw him at last year.

"Dreams, I've lived within my dreams now it seems I've awakened and they're real, pinch and feel. If one day I walk upon this stage from these wings and play underneath this dome, and if I sing with all my heart, I'll be home"
------- "We Drink Your Blood And Then We Eat Your Soul, Nothings Gonna Stop Us Let The Bad Times Roll"
-------"Past The Point Of No Return, No Backward Glances, Abandon Thought And Let The Dream Begin"
Mine is Sutton Foster and Marc Kudich in Thoroughly Modern Millie, just after "Forget About The Boy" where Millie asks her boss "What do you think of Rudolph Valentino?" That scene just cracks me up.
Teacher of Theater gave me instructions that might enable me to get one. First I have to chose if an exterior or interior shot if interior the rotunda or auditorium ( of the Roxy). I am leaning to an icon picturing the vertical ROXY sign. For those interested, The Roxy was 1 block south on from Radio City on 50 th Street. The lobby is now a fast food court & the auditorium has been replaced by an office building. Progress. What a waste. This was the grand daddy of them all replete with its only radio station, 3 bed hospital & rotunda capable of holding 2500 people waiting for the next show.
Some of you change icons more often then other people change socks!
Do you guys have any idea how funny it is to read what your icon is and then you change it so when you go back to read what your icon is, it doesn't MATCH what you just said??? Some of them really crack me up!
The icon I have chosen is of Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
Follies was inspired by the famous photo of Gloria Swanson standing in the rubble. One of her pictures opened the theater & she closed it with that photo
The Radio City Rockettes ( which actually started in the Missouri theater in St Louis as the Missouri Rockets) moved to the Roxy to become the Roxyettes & than to radio City & they became the Rockettes
Although you can't see it too well, mine is now the marquis outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre that hung when SIDE SHOW was playing... it's a quote from Vincent Canby atop a picture collage. -d

"You really just love money and power and capitalism? You know they're never going to love you back."
"Things happen for the best...I don't even believe that myself."
I just changed to a photo more appropraite for the ahlloween season. After DofB5' spost, I'd love to see the reaction of people who read my earlier post in this thread saying "This is me and Boy George".
My icon is the amazing "Side Show" trio of Julie Dixon Jackson, Kevin Earley, and Misty Cotton from the Colony Theatre's production of the show last year. It's my favorite show and the three are definitely my favorite performers. :)
