The worst costume was definitely from this summer when I wore a fat suit as Gregorio in Roméo et Juliette.
10. Everyone should see Little Women because....
It's an incredible adaptation of a book that everyone has read, and it's certainly one of the most-performed new works of the last twenty years.
Bonus: One question you wish someone would ask you (and the answer):
Q: How is your first winter in Madison going?
A: Cold... very cold....
