So...I thought I'd take a game I love to play with friends and share it with the BWW community. Many of you have probably played this before, but I thought I'd apply it to Broadway stars and see what happens. Basically, you are given three names (in this case, of current or past Broadway performers) and must decide which you will:
-Live with for the rest of your life (never having any kind of sexual contact)
-Sleep with, then never see again
-Throw off a cliff
It can be a really fun game, and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Just to make responses clear, let's distinguish them with "live with ___, sleep with ___, throw ___ off a cliff," rather than just listeing them in order. Then, list three more names. OK...I'll start.
NATHAN LANE
PATTI LUPONE
KRISTEN CHENOWETH

Brían F. O'Byrne
Michael Cerveris

That is hard cause I don't know if I could actually keep my hands off of Brían.

Ok guys...I think you misunderstood. You don't get to have your own picks for who you want to live with/sleep with/throw off a cliff (that would be too easy)...you have to use the three people from the previous post. For example, my first post was:
NATHAN LANE
PATTI LUPONE
KRISTEN CHENOWETH
That doesn't mean I want to live with Nathan, sleep with Patti, and throw Kristen off a cliff (though oddly, I'd be OK with that). It mean the next poster has to decide who they would live with/sleep with/throw off a cliff OUT OF THOSE THREE NAMES. Get it? The fun part is having someone else choose the three people for you...OK, I'll give you a new set:
CHERRY JONES
RICHARD GRIFFITHS
AUDRA MCDONALD

I guess that leaves me to throw Cherry off a cliff, though I would never do that.
