By:

Welcome to THE FRIDAY SIX: Q&As with your favorite Broadway stars. Want to know what hooked them to a career in the theater? Their dream roles? Their Broadway crushes? Read on!

In this week's edition, we caught up with Matthew Saldivar, who is starring as 'Johnny Sandwich' in Honeymoon in Vegas- currently playing at the Nederlander Theatre.


What is the first Broadway show you ever saw?

The first show I saw on Broadway was The Wiz!

What is your unique preshow ritual?

I often warm up with the the old Oscar Mayer balogna theme song: "My bologna has a first name it's O S C A R! My bologna has a second name it's M A Y E R! Oh, I love to eat it every day! And if you ask me why, I'll saaaaaaay... 'Cause Oscar Meyer has a way with B O L O G N A!"

What is you favorite "show must go on" moment?

I was doing a play for Labyrinth Theater company and I accidentally sawed into my finger with a serrated knife. I could feel the letting of a good amount of blood and began to notice it strewn about the set. It's troubling when you don't know how bad it is but I lived.

What is the one role you want to play before you die?

The one I was meant to play.

Who is your Broadway crush?

Nancy Opel.

Where can people stalk you online?

Well, if you don't have a phone or a computer you can always go to the library.
