And now introducing our [hunter]...

[james gardiner]


1) What is your guilty pleasure Broadway Cast Recording?

I honestly can't think of a single cast recording that I would consider to be a guilty pleasure, but I most certainly have a guilty pleasure song and even though it's not from a "Broadway" musical... it IS from one of the first musicals that I ever fell in love with. Whenever I'm having a bad day, I listen to this song and without fail it brings a smile to my face. I'm still waiting for the Broadway production to happen and I fully expect Jim Dale and that cooky Mickey Rooney to reprise their roles from the film.




2) What would you use as an audition song for a musical about yourself?

Well, my first choice would obviously be "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood," but I think "I Know Him So Well" from Chess would also be a fitting choice since I in fact do know HIM so well. But I'd only sing it if I could find the Whitney Houston arrangement, which I've attached for your listening pleasure.



3) Dorothy, Blanche, Rose or Sophia?

As a life long fan of The Golden Girls (no seriously, it is still one of my favorite TV shows of all time) this question really has multiple answers. If the question is what Golden Girl do you most identify with, the answer would be Sophia. I find here bluntness and Sicilian street smarts to parallel some of my own qualities. If the question is what Golden Girl would you like to be your own grandmother my answer would be Rose. She's just a delight and I find her tales of St. Olaf to be rather endearing. Now, if the question is which Golden Girl is most likely to throw down in a game of b-ball I would have to say Dorothy, but if you're asking who is the foxiest I'd have to go with Blanche. So in the end, they all have their own beneficial qualities.


4) Are you left or right eyed?

Well, seeing as the prescription in my right eye is stronger then the prescription in my left, I'd have to say I favor my right eye. But I see myself as an ambidextrous viewer.


5) What three Broadway legends (dead or alive) would you invite to a dinner party?

Stephen Sondheim would be the obvious choice, because he's Stephen Sondheim. I'd also invite Elaine Stritch because she'd be a great source of conversation and booze. And finally I'd invite Michael Jeter, although he probably wouldn't be considered a Broadway legend by most people's standards, his performance in Grand Hotel was legendary and he just seems like a genuinely sweet guy.



6) How much cash do you have on you?

None. I actually don't usually carry around cash.


7) If you could be born as any gay icon who would it be?

I'd take Elton John's career any day. Either that or Levi Johnston.


8) Will Brittany Spears ever get married and find true happiness?

I think I can say with complete certainty that the answer to this is no. I imagine that Lindsay Lohan, Brittany Spears, and Miley Cyrus will all suffer the same fate. Why Miley Cyrus, James? Just wait. Juuuusst wait.


9) …how about Kate Gosselin?

Who's Kate Gosselin? But seriously, she's on the next Dancing with the Stars, so maybe she'll fall in love with her dance partner. Wow, I gave this question more thought then I've given Kate Gosselin EVER.


10) What would your name your “monkey on the speedboat”

Leroy.
