James Barbour is hard at work answering all the questions that we submitted to him and we'll have that up soon. In the meantime - next up on the interview block will be Mandy Gonzalez, currently starring in Aida (www.mandygonzalez.net)

Same deal as last time, post or PM your questions to me...

Was it hard becoming the character Amneris? What did you do to prepare for it?

Most of the songs in Dance of the Vampires such as "Braver Than We Are", "Vampires In Love", seemed reasonably taxing vocally, and yet you were absolutely phenomenal when perfoming them; what did you do to sustian your voice throughout those extremely high enery performances, and amazing music numbers?

Does the lighting in "My Strongest Suit" affect the energy you have? I love it! Also, It must be hard not originating a role. How do you handle taking over someone's role? Do you recreate it and perform it the way you look at it?

when orking as a standy by, how difficult is it to put your own spin on a role?? I mean, you aren't on the stage every night ineteracting with the cast and they are so used to the 'first-stringer' and you don't want to really through them a total curveball, bo how do you manage to find that balance?

I really loved DOTV (especially "Braver Than We Are"), and was so disappointed when it closed. I couldn't help but feel like it was a closed-minded audience/critical reaction that did it in. What do you feel was the show's biggest reason for flopping?

Loved seeing you in DOTV - what was your favorite scene and song from the show. What role/show that you haven't been in would you most want to do in the future, which actor would you really like the opportunity to work with and who is your favorite composer.

What was your funniest goof/blooper during DOTV? I am also very sorry that the show closed as soon as it did. It went before it’s time.

Thank you for your time.

I also saw DOTV. I would have liked it better if it was taken in a more serious context. How was it working with Michael Crawford?

What kind of dance training do you have? And if so would you say it's important for the career?

Absolutely! Probably towards the latter part of next week if all goes according to plan.
