Wow...so much.

Beauty and the Beast

1. What do you do?
I'm a recent college graduate, BA Political Science. For the last three years I've been slinging coffee at Starbucks. I'm giving my notice on Friday and then I'll be unemployed for a bit while I do some traveling.

2. What is it you love about Broadway?
Healthier than taking ecstacy.

3. What was the first Broadway show you ever saw?
Spamalot. With my grandma on my 21st birthday.

4. Have you ever been in a show, whether in a school, community theatre, regional or on Broadway?
I was in several shows (school and community) when I was in high school. The one paying gig I had as an actor was a tiny part with a murder mystery dinner theatre company. I played the "first victim" so I spent most of the time just hanging around "off-stage" until they needed me to be a body.

5. My favorite show?
Hmmm I really go through phases with different shows....last year it was The Drowsy Chaperone, this year its Curtains, Grey Gardens and Xanadu.

1. Pharmaceutical Sales (I sell anti-depressants)
2. Love "feeling" the music and listening to truly talented singers.
3. I didn't go to New York until 3 years ago. The first shows I saw were Aida and Little Shop (I was a chaperone on a school trip)- actually- these are the only 2 shows I have seen on Broadway. Have seen MANY touring companies, regionals, and PBS specials.
4. Have never been in a show. When I was growing up, there weren't as many opportunities as there are now. I wanted to be a casting director but I got cancer in high school and my life changed tremendously. That's why I support my children in what they want to pursue.
5. My favorite show? Well, I wore out my Chorus Line Album (you know, those round vinyl things) and also They're Playin' My Song.

...and I thought this thread was going to be about sexual preference

[scott68]

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:04am

1. I'm a student at NYU.
2. The sheer amount of emotion that somehow can be conveyed through a song.
3. The Lion King
4. I was in the ensemble of my senior show in high school, On The Town, because that's where most of my friends were (and because I'm a total stage whore, despite knowing that I don't have a very good voice). Before that I had been in and conducted pit orchestras for the school shows, and since then I've been in various one-act events. Never been a lead in a full-length show, though, for better or worse.
5. It varies, but top three are Sweeney, Les Mis, and Follies. The Last Five Years is up there, too.

3. Beauty and the Beast.
4.I've been in like, a billion regionbal plays/musicals with small parts, chorus parts, lead parts, you name it.

1)I'm actually a Chemistry student in London

2)It's just so much more thrilling than tv and cinema, and the music rocks!

3)Umm, first West End Show was Grease when I was about 7, first (and only) Broadway Show was Hairspray when I was 17

4)Luckily our uni has a great musical theatre society, and so my first show was as Shelley in Batboy this spring, but am doing WSS in a few weeks

5)Ooo tough, of the ones I've seen its a toss up between Avenue Q and The Last Five Years. Overall, probably Lippa's Wild Party, Urinetown or Spring Awakening

1. What do you do?- College student studying to be a speech and language pathologist and special ed. teacher
2. What is it you love about Broadway? Its hard to describe but I guess its the experience that you have that is unlike anything else. For me, its emotionally fulfilling, inspirational and though provoking. The minute the lights go down and the curtain comes up, its just you and the performers.
3. What was the first Broadway show you ever saw? Cats, 1995
4. Have you ever been in a show, whether in a school, community theatre, regional or on Broadway? I've been in musical theater productions consistently from elementary school to highschool.
5. What is your favorite Broadway show? Ragtime, Gypsy and Sweeney Todd are my top 3. The other two shows I adore are Caroline or Change and Grey Gardens
