| Audition song: | I need to retire "Try Me" from She Loves Me. I have been using it since I left school. |
| Special skills: | I have minimal guitar skills. I am a mean Sudoku player. |
| First Broadway show ever saw: | Falsettos |
| If you could go back in time and catch any Broadway show, what would it be? | The original cast of A Chorus Line or Hair |

| Favorite show tune: | "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" |
| MAC or PC? | Oh, MAC all the way. |

| Must-see TV show: | I wish I had a highbrow answer: "Top Chef" on Bravo. |

| First stage kiss: | I think it was Lea DeLaria in On The Town. |
| Favorite pre-show meal: | Don't tell James Lapine, but Celia Keenan-Bolger and I had a beer before our first "Adults Only" performance in Spelling Bee. We were so nervous. Does that count as a meal? |
| How you got your Equity card: | Ten years ago to this very month, at the very theatre I am at right now in George C. Wolfe's revival of On The Town! |
| Worst flubbed line: | I completely blanked on my lyrics to "Come Up to My Place" from On The Town. I basically forgot all my lyrics to the first verse. The orchestra just kept going without me. The first lyrics that were actually sung were Lea DeLaria singing: "Did I hear right? Did you say the Hippodrome?" |
| Worst costume ever: | I did a production of Annie Get Your Gun where I played an Indian in one scene. The costume designer quit during tech so all I was left with was pants. I had to go shirtless. I have red hair and alabaster skin. Do the math. AN INDIAN!!!!! |
