First Broadway show ever saw:
|
I think it was Gypsy, with Tyne Daly, 1989. It made a huge impression on me. I was probably the only first grader whose favorite song was "Let Me Entertain You."
|
|
If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be?

The original Streetcar, definitely.
|

Current show you have been recommending to friends:
|
Our Town. I've seen it twice, and I'll go again for Michael Shannon.

This is so hard. Maybe "He Wanted To Say" from Ragtime or "Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors.
|
|
MAC or PC?

A really beat-up white MacBook.

|
Most played song on your iPod:

Right now, probably "To Live is to Fly" by Townes Van Zandt or "Sad Lisa" by Cat Stevens.

Web obsession:
|
cuteoverload.com. I like the baby hedgehogs.
|
|
Last book you read:
|
Kenny Turan's book "Free For All: Joe Papp, The Public, and The Greatest Theater Story Ever Told." It reads like a great detective story or romance novel. I couldn't put it down.
|
|
Must-see TV show:
|
"Mad Men." "The Office." "Family Guy."
|

Paul Dano.

Given how many plays in which I've had to appear naked or in my underwear, any costume that I get to keep on my body is a good one.
|
