| Full given name: | Rod. I have no last name, in the tradition of Cher. |
| Hometown: | Gay Head, Massachusetts |
| Zodiac sign: | Taurus, the Bull — it's the most conservative sign. |
| Audition song: | "Being Mrs. Banks" [of Mary Poppins] |
| Special skills: | Few people know this about me, but I have removable nipples. |
| First Broadway show ever saw: | Annie — I still weep from time to time that I will never get to play an orphan. But as Annie says: "Maybe." |
| If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? | The Blonde in the Thunderbird. |
| Current show you have been recommending to friends: | The construction site on 79th and Lexington. |
| Most played song on your iPod: | I have an entire iPod devoted to Judy Garland, which I play straight through on days when I'm feeling blue. Which is frequently. |
| One CD you couldn't live without: | Judy. Carnegie. Next? |
| Last book you read: | "Finding the Boyfriend Within," by Brad Gooch. |
| Must-see TV show: | Anything on Lifetime, though I occasionally turn to Oxygen. Oh, and "Robyn Byrd," of course. |
| Last good movie you saw: | "300." Need I say more? |
| Favorite board/card game: | Parcheesi! |
| Performer you would drop everything to go see: | Well, most of my top choices are dead. On the brighter side, I am hoping Carol Channing will do another Hello, Dolly! — you know the old gal still has it in her. |
| Pop culture guilty pleasure: | That's a tough question as I'm so appalled by pop culture today, what with those Britneys and Lindseys and Parises. Remember when the people having meltdowns actually had talent? |
| First stage kiss: | Still waiting on that one. |
| Favorite post-show meal: | I usually have a simple Lean Cuisine at home after the show. It's difficult being in public now that I'm a celebrity. |
| How you got your Equity card: | A bus and truck of Starmites. Little known fact. |
| Worst onstage mishap: | My eyeball once fell off into Lucy's cleavage during Avenue Q's climactic final number. Rick Lyon had to fashion me a new one as they still haven't found it down there. Rumors suggest that if the authorities dug deep enough, they might find Jimmy Hoffa, or at least a few WMDs. |
| Who have you played on "Law & Order"? Which edition? | I once turned down the amorous advances of Christopher Meloni, so he's banned me forever from that show. But I think I'd be a natural "heavy" on an upcoming episode — call my agents! |
| Worst costume ever: | There was a scene in Avenue Q that required me to wear a thong. Thank God it was cut during previews. |
| Cats or dogs? | Neither — I tend to collect stray hairs, and my dresser is already tired of de-linting me. |
| Favorite cereal: | Lucky Charms, the fey cereal. |
| Who would play you in the movie? | It's in my contract that I will play myself. Back off, Barbra! |
| Worst job you ever had: | Understudying in the Blue Man Group. |
| What musical role have you been dying to play? | That's easy: "Man in Chair" in The Drowsy Chaperone. (Hello, Berney Telsey? Why have I not had a single call?) I almost sued the production because that is the story of my life!! |
(Special thanks to Avenue Q's Tony Award-winning librettist Jeff Whitty.)
