Q: What do you like about your character?
A: He’s a super chill guy. I portray him as a skater dude, which is fun because it’s not something I usually get to play. It’s a new kind of role and it’s fun.
Q: How are the rehearsals going so far?
A: They’ve been going well. It’s coming together pretty nicely so I’m excited to perform in front of an audience.
Q: What do you like about this musical?
A: It’s a fun show. It’s exciting to portray a familiar story, because I’m sure people have seen the movie, but in a new way.
Q: What’s your favorite scene or song from this show?
A: My song “Women and Sandwiches.” We’re sitting on a bench and I’m singing about sandwiches. It’s funny and it’s a nice one to sing.
Q: Why should folks come out and see this show?
A: It’s a fun time. If you’re looking for entertainment, this is the place to be.
