Love that theatre thing.... I've been Pseudolus (duh!), the Cowardly Lion (twice!), Rueben (the oldest brother) in Joseph (met my wife in that one!), the telephone repairman in Neil Simon's barefoot in the Park (Funniest 7 minutes of my life!), and many, many others. Lots of similarities in selling a song and selling a role so I'm not surprised at all with the folks heavily involved in both.

Funniest theatre story? I can't top baring all in front of the Vicar but this was pretty funny... While playing the part of Albert Peterson in "Bye Bye Birdie", I was supposed to make an entrance after Mr Macaffee finished a paragrah or so of dialog. He lost it after one line. I was about to go in and it sounded like he caught himself, then he lost it again, I started to go in again and he started talking again!! This happened several times and finally I just barged in and everyone, Mr. Macaffee, the kid, and the ENTIRE AUDIENCE was staring at me. The guy playing Mr. Macaffee (God rest his soul...) had a knack for losing his lines and a BETTER knack for making it look like it was your fault!!! I just smiled and continued.....
