Not Forbidden to Open Up

Several members of the hit production “Forbidden Broadway: Rude Awakening” have allowed an insight into their thoughts and opinions when they shared a question and answer session with the folks from Playbill News.  Janet Dickinson, Valerie Fagan, Jared Bradshaw and James Donegan were all in the hotseat while they answered questions about their favorite Broadway musicals, auditions and how it is doing impersonations.  Fagan relived her most memorable onstage mishap, when, while performing in the “Sound of Music” the character playing the Captain walked off the stage.  She hurriedly made up a story to try and work the unrehearsed actions into the plot, and as she says, she went into an “adrenaline induced horror.”

Not often do we get the chance to glimpse into the real lives of the actors up on stage portraying fake lives.  This interview, conducted by Playbill is a real treat to find out the inside scoop behind these talented performers.  If anyone thought it was somehow easy to be a big name Broadway star, this interview might change their views.  Of course, it also shows that being the star of stage can also be great fun.  Take a moment to check out their responses on Playbill’s webpage and while you are at it, make a date to see Forbidden Broadway: Rude Awakening.  Get your tickets at Stubhub.com.
