| Full given name: | Rebecca Eugenie Jones |
| Hometown: | New York City, baby! |
| Zodiac sign: | Aries |
| Audition song: | "Cry On My Shoulder," Bonnie Raitt or "Ain't It Good," Children of Eden |
| Special skills: | I have some funny characters and voices I like to do, and I can do fun things with my big ol' eyeballs, like close 'em one at a time and other things like that. It's more fun than it sounds, I swear. And accents and dialects. |
| First Broadway show ever saw: | A Chorus Line |
| If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? | That's a toughie. I missed out on seeing Ruined last year and I'm still disappointed. I know that was Off-Broadway, and therefore I'm not answering the question, but it's what comes to mind. |
| Favorite showtune: | I love the song "Barcelona" from Company. And the entire West Side Story score is just so beautiful. |
| Most played song on your iPod: | Joni Mitchell, "The Last Time I Saw Richard" |
| Web obsession: | Gilt Groupe |
| Last book you read: | Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food." I've just started "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao," by Junot Diaz. I'm eating it up. |
| Must-see TV show: | Currently, "Lost." For all time, "The Wire." |
| Last good movie you saw: | Eek. Haven't seen anything recently. But just started watching "Mad Men" on DVD and it pleases me. |
| Favorite board game: | LIFE |
| Performer you would drop everything to go see: | Michael Jackson? :( |
| Pop culture guilty pleasure: | "America's Next Top Model" |
| First stage kiss: | I think it must've been with Ford Harris in a high school production of The Taming of the Shrew. I loved him in real life too. |
| Favorite pre-/post-show meal: | Pre-show tends to be protein and greens, usually something light from Green Symphony. Post-show I often crave a turkey burger from 5 Napkin but end up standing in the kitchen with a spoonful of peanut butter instead. |
| How you got your Equity card: | I did Caroline, or Change in LA and San Francisco with a cast primarily made up of actors who'd done the show on Broadway. I was a standby and it was the coolest gig to have to be offstage for, because those performances slayed me night after night. Sooooo good! |
| Worst missed cue: | Hahahaha. Once on tour with Rent I was running to make an entrance and fell. I didn't make it to the stage on time, but my mic was up so everyone heard me yell "sh*t!!!!" Awesome. |
| Worst costume ever: | A floppy hat with a big flower on it, a long patchwork skirt, an apron, a high-necked spandex shirt, some other layer that resembled a doily, rainbow socks, and chunky Mary Janes. All of those things gracing my body in tandem! Blossom Russo meets Mrs. Butterworth. I had that costume on for like an hour in tech before our director was like... "OK, no." |
| Pet's names: | When I was growing up I had a fish named Moustache. |
| Favorite junk food: | Cheeseburger with avocado and mushrooms and a glass of red wine. Or coconut milk ice cream. Or both. |
| Who would play you in the movie? | Um... Lisa Bonnet? Rosario Dawson? Rebecca Gayheart? |
| TV or commercial gig you most enjoyed: | I enjoyed shooting an episode of the new "Electric Company" series. Everyone was really friendly and mature and easy to talk to, and the writing was quirky and sweet. I played an alien. |
| Leading lady role you've been dying to play: | There's a play I did a few readings of last year that I'm just itching to do in a full production. I don't want to be more specific, in case they move on without me. Got to protect my ego! |
| What other rock artist's work would you love to see turned into a musical? | Ben Folds! |
