sunday play company
I would love to play Bobby in 'Company.' Also, I would love to play George in 'Sunday.'
art thinking average
As an artist, I think you always have to take care of yourself as a person probably even more than the average person because your body is so important to your art.
teacher exercise voice
I have a half an hour warm-up I do that my voice teacher gave me. I exercise at least for an hour during the day. I don't have any superstitious rituals or anything like that.
running morning three
I was completely unhealthy, obese, so I committed to running three miles every morning for six months and following a strict diet, and 100 pounds came off.
growing-up bass way
I will sing whatever I'm given to sing. Growing up, I would sing anything that I was given. If the choir needed a first tenor, I would sing first tenor. If they needed a bass, I would sing bass. Throughout my life, I just figured out ways to hit notes I needed to hit.
flames broadway saws
'Tommy' was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. I was 14. It wasn't 'the show' that started that flame in me or anything, but it did excite me in a way no other show had. I'd never seen a show so brilliantly cast and directed.
pounds lost theater
I lost 100 pounds and embraced theater and music as what I was going to make for the rest of my life.
christianity raised knows
I was raised Jewish. I didn't know anything about Christianity.
song lines forgotten
I've forgotten lines all the time. Sometimes I switch verses in a song. It's just hard not to when you're doing the same thing all the time.
growing-up growing
My favorites growing up were always Billy Joel, Michael Jackson... and Placido Domingo.
men grace newton
'Amazing Grace' is about the man who wrote 'Amazing Grace,' John Newton. It's a really great show - I have been workshopping it for a while now, actually.
finishing strange scene
During one performance of 'Les Miserables,' the barricade didn't leave the stage, so we had to actually end up finishing the second act with the barricades on the stage, which was very strange... doing the love scene on the barricade.
trying done littles
I am never happy with what I do, so I try not to watch stuff that is filmed with me in it because I am always like, 'Oh, I could have done that a little bit better,' or, 'I could have done that differently - that riff could have been a little better.'
stuff new-work concerts
I really, really love new work, and that's why, you know, I produced a concert series supporting new musicals and stuff like that. I hope to do more things like that.
