Must-see TV show:

Ok...never saw "Lost." I just began watching the DVDs and now...ADDICTED!!! Sebastian and I will stay up until 3 AM watching 3-4 episodes at a time. I have no idea how people can wait a week to see the conclusions. This show is genius!

Was Missy Elliott not enough for you? Ok...I also indulge in the "trash" magazines. I believe nothing, but enjoy all of it!

Cereal and/or toast and peanut butter.
|
|
Pre-show rituals:
|
6:30 PM ... start humidifier, start tea, throw out dead flowers (nothing worse then old flower water smell), say hi to the folks around the theatre, start warming up the voice, sword-fight call, more vocal warm up and make up, some stretching and...there you have it, I'm a pirate!
|
|
Worst onstage mishap:
|
Boy From Oz...I wore many different tights and panty hose throughout the play. One quick change, my tights decided to get stuck to the pants of my next change. During the scene they kept creeping out. I did not feel them until they were hanging out my pant leg and dragging across the stage. Hugh and I were tripping all over them. Finally, I had to tug these long tights out from my pants. There was no way of hiding it from the audience. Hugh and I were crying we were laughing so hard. I love moments like that!
|
|
Special skills:
|
learning sign language, can play the glockenspiel (...google it), have the longest second toe in the world...it's freakish (I guess that's not a skill as much as a deformity)

Cats or dogs?

Dogs!
|
|
Favorite pizza topping:
|
Extra cheese and garlic.
|
|
Who would play you in the movie?
|
Well, according to recent reviewers...I'm going to have to say Celine Dion (What?) But if all goes well, I'm holding out for Sanjaya.
