First of all... I am so sorry I didn't get back to you all sooner. It's been a rough work week!


What (in your opinion) is the most unusual food you have ever eaten?

I stayed with a Japanese couple for a while in California. They fed me all kinds of weird stuff. After a while, I was on the "Don't ask...don't tell" program.

How did you get to meet Josh Groban?

Cleveland has an amazing grouping of theatres we call Playhouse Square. They are the old vaudeville houses and they are all linked together. JOsh and I were performing at the same time in the complex. After his show, since I had backstage access, I just walked into a room where he was having a reception. I had been a big fan for a good while before I met him. He is lovely and nerdy (which I like in a guy!)


What makes you the happiest in life?

Musical Theatre. Being a part of a great production, no matter what the part is. There is no high that wonderful!

Who is your favorite superhero?

WHatever that character is that Hugh Jackman played...Some kind of wolf, I think. oh...WOLVERINE. ONly because it's HUgh Jackman

What do you plan to do after you meet your weight loss goal?

I don't intend to do anything different. I am not waiting to do anything in my life until I meet my weight loss goal. I am living in the now and loving it. I celebrate daily.

What type of work do you do? and What do you bring to office parties?

I do insurance work-Commercial Lines Account Manager for 26 years (OMG!). Most of our parties are catered and they always make sure there is a little something for me to gnaw on.

Who would you like to perform with (sing with) in a show and what show would it be?

I have always dreamed of playing Mame. My life philosophy matches hers to a T. As far as singing with somebody, I have a few local folks that I would love to play opposite of, but I would respect and cherish the time I got to spend with ANY actor/singer.

What's your audition song?

At the theatre I mostly work at, we go in and learn the song together. They like to start the audition process with a level playing field and give everyone a chance, even those who don't necessarily know how to develop an audition song.

Elsewhere, right now I would probabkly do one of the following, depending on the role:

Unexpected song - From SOng & Dance -Andrew Lloyd Webber
Once upon a Time - By Charles Strouse (from a really obscure musical...so obscure I can't remember the name of it.) oH yeah..The All American
On my Own - Les Miserables


What is your singing range?

Not to brag, but I can sing anywhere. I have several octaves I can sing in comfortably. It's what a teacher I once had referred to as a JURASSIC VOICE. I can also sing in a bunch of different styles and voice types, Opera, jazz Belty broadway, soprano. Pick one! But I am not much of a rapper.

If you could dream cast any musical, what would it be and who'd be in it?

I want Josh Groban to play Marius in Les Miserables with the originan Jean Valjean, Colm Wilkinson. I wouldn't care about anyone else. I hope he goes back to his Broadway roots someday and maybe makes the musical of Les Miz into a movie.
Do you have any pets?

Ah Yes. I have my beautiful 9 year old Keeshond mix dog Phantom (hmmmm wonder what I named her after?) SHe looks like a black wolf with extra fur.

(famous/not/living/not) where would you go and who would you take
!

I would do New York ...maybe with Barry Manilow. Only because I saw his PBS Special last night and was profoundly moved by him. Next week it'll probably be someone else!
